out of the three guys listed obove i would say patten is the best with moss second and jacobs third.

I agree with you about Patten. I saw alot of him when I lived in Boston and he is a proven NFL WR. He is a spark plug type, kind of reminds me of Gary Clark, in the sense that he is small but tough.

Include me in the group of, 'I would like to see Jacobs play well and have a breakout year'. I do not question his speed, hands or ability to run patterns. I do question his toughness. He came out of college with whispers about his possible lack of toughness.
I am a little negatively biased about Jacobs toughness, because the only game I saw Jacobs play in college (I forget the opponent), Jacobs took a good hit to his back from the DB while trying to catch a pass. He went down and had to helped off the field. Jacobs did not return until a good quarter or more. When Jacobs finally did return to the game he played scared and was a non-factor in the rest of that game. So to see him as Redskin be a non-factor, injury prone player, it is all I have seen from him.
