Quinton Patton with one hell of a catch

[ivotuk]

I was hoping to get this guy in the draft because I believe he will become a very good wr, along the lines if ADB. He will really help the 49er offense in the playoffs if he stays healthy

I instantly started having flashbacks of Kelly Jennings on that play. The cards corner had perfect position and at the minimum should've knocked it out but he just kinda did nothing. I wish the cards corners played like that versus us instead of making bad ass play after bad ass play.

Yes his 3 receptions on the YEAR will strike fear into opposing defenses to be sure.

^^^^ Missed 11 or 12 games with a broken foot. As stated in ivotuk's post, don't think a single person anywhere has argued that he IS a very good WR, just that he has the potential to be one if he can stay healthy and progress. A lot of folks really liked him coming out of college.

Hard to tell with the 9ers too just b/c the coaching staff has such a bias for vets. Patton couldn't get on the field at the beginning of the season because they were throwing in guys ahead of him they've now cut (Marlon Moor, Kyle Williams) and guys whose only advantage was tenure in the league (Baldwin). If Manningham hadn't gone on IR he would have never had the chance to have a few good plays last week, which were indicative of how he looked in the pre-season too.

I don't buy he Bias for vets thing. It sure hasn't stopped them from giving Reid and McDonald playing time this year.

Patton was hurt in camp, then hurt again in week 3. I think his injuries have had more to do with it than anything else.

 

[Popeyejones]

^^^They were trying to make the journeyman Dahl a starter over Reid and it just wasn't tenable. The list is pretty long. Marlon Moore starting the season before being cut, Kyle Williams after him before being cut, Nnamdi over Brock until being cut, the nothing-left Moss being a starter last year before being let go, Sopoaga over RJF and Williams until they couldn't afford to keep him, Snyder over Boone until they couldn't afford to keep him, Goodwin through this year before he's gone.

The 9ers have an atypical # of vets who start before being cut in the same year or being let go for cap reasons only to be replaced by better players who were already on the roster.

Absolutely agreed injuries play a large role, but I don't think the preference for vets can be discounted.

Please stay on point. The comment was "He will really help the 49er offense in the playoffs if he stays healthy." Based on THIS YEAR's performance thus far that is highly doubtful, no matter how many excuses people come up with to explain his low production. It would be like a hawk fan saying "Y'all better really watch out for Ricardo Lockette in the playoffs he is going to do some damage!" Despite his mere 5 receptions in 5 games. It is simply wishful thinking.

The guy had a broken foot and missed 11 games.. he missed most of the offseason with a broken hand.. these aren't excuses, they are explanations.

It is an excuse, maybe better than some other excuses, but an excuse nonetheless. Maybe Webster can help you out with your confusion over the definition of the word. Needless to say, do you actually think that a player who missed so much time as well has extremely limited production for the time he did see is somehow going to magically produce during the most competitive part of the season? Of course anything is possible, but not probable.

Well he did have a clutch catch at the end of the Arizona game. He's probably not going to produce much in the playoffs but so far he is an upgrade over Marlon Moore, Baldwin, Kyle Williams, and maybe even Manningham. But also being hurt most of the season is a good explanation on why he only has like 5 receptions this season.

Oh come on...Dahl was never going to be the starter. They were NOT "trying to make Dahl the starter". They just don't hand out starting positions to rookies without them earning them. The assumption was always that Reid would take that spot from Dahl.

If everything appears equal, they do go with the vet, but they don't have an issue playing young players. That is way overblown.

Patton was injured pretty much all year until the last couple of games, so yeah. But he's a rookie, and has had rookie growing pains. For example, in Seattle he literally got picked up by the scruff, spun almost 360 degrees and flung to the ground like a rag doll (incidentally, who is surprised that no penalty was called?). He has talent, but he is green, and maybe injury prone.

 

[Scottemojo]

I love Patton as a game changing slot player. He doesn't have great press breaking skill for outside, but SF won't ask him to do that. He sure is an excitable and energetic little turd.

lol, what was that dice rolling motion at the start of the dance in the away jersey? And it is funny how he has alex smiths old number.

Agree to disagree. The # of veteran starters who end up being cut in the same year, veteran starters who don't get resigned and then get big contracts only to be cu within a year by other teams, and veteran starters who are let go in cap considerations and end up being significantly outplayed by younger players who were already on the roster is totally incomparable among consistent playoff teams.

It's obviously debatable if it's an "issue" or not, but if you're saying it's not a thing in these first three years, that's pretty surprising to me.

I guess we have plenty of excuses for Harvin then.

I have started to see far too much of this trolling in non-related threads from multiple posters. Please take a break.


ON TOPIC: I definitely see some potential here but receiver seems to (most the time) have a fairly decent learning curve to transition from the NFL and I don't see a rookie with a mere 5 games under his belt contributing this year much in the playoffs.

WRs with the niners have to make circus catches more often than not because the QB they have throwing the ball isn't very accurate.
