You can't have all-stars at every position.

Patten will be a quality #3.

I was being melodramatic but my point is, add up the total yardage all those guys brought to the table last year and average it out over 16 games, it ain't much, in the grand scheme of things.

IMHO, neither Patten nor Thrash are ever going to win the Redskins a game. Take some pressure off Santana? Sure. Catch some clutch balls on 3rd and long? Maybe. But true WR2's can break a game when the defense cheats on the "star" WR. Think Harrison and Wayne. Holt and Bruce. Hell, even Walker and Driver.

So, I think you're right -- one of those guys can be your WR3, but you don't need both. And Jacobs is just done. Flat out.

I agree... I think the Skins made a mistake in thinking Patten could be a viable #2, he's definitely best suited as a #3.

As for Jacobs I agree again, I can't believe he wasn't cut today.
