Antonio Bryant

[scowan]

Other than being a little younger than David Patten, what has Antonio Bryant done that makes him better than Patten? I mean Patten is on our team and Brunell did not even look at him more than 5-6 times a game. I don't see anyone else getting any more looks than that, no matter who they are. Maybe Saunders will change all of that, but the Skins are a running team that tries to hit the big one to Moss every once in a while and goes to Cooley underneath. I agree that we need another receiver, but I don't see Bryant as a significant upgrade to Patten.

I dont want bryant, but
In 9 years patten has put up 3700 yards. Bryant in 4 years has put up 3100 yards.

Patten is a mediocre player at best. i have no idea why people think he is a #2 WR.
Bryant is a very talented player. very talented.
But when things dont go his way, he turns into a child...

And doesn't that say it all right there?

When the going gets tough, you don't want guys throwing fits or pouting.

That's not the kind of player Gibbs is looking for.
