Anyone who says Patten isn't a real number 2 clearly doesn't have a good grasp on what a number 2 WR is supposed to do in the NFL. The number 2 should attract safety attention and keep double teams off the number 1. After that he should catch anywhere from 50-70 balls and have 3 or 4 TDs. Patten was basically on pace for this. The evidence clearly shows that after he went down Moss' numbers went down. That ought to show you something. Having a number 2 like Wayne in Indy is rare and really based more on the system than anything. Patten is our number 2 as long as he is healthy.
