You hit it on the head, he's very good on crossing patterns where he can run away from the defender.

As far as Patten stopping and waiting for the ball on comeback routes, Gibbs has been useing that play forever, Art Monk made a living on those type of routes, the problem is you really should have a big physical reciever who can body up on the defender, we really don't have that right now.
