Why we didn't draft Q Patton:


Dr. T

Recommended Posts

Maybe 'cause he's not that 'mart??  :nutz:

 

Forst of all, he spends his own money to go to San Fran after the draft before he was allowed to be there, so he had to go back home. Duh ...  :facepalm:

 

Den, he finally gets to practice with the niners in the rookie mini-camp and he is ... strug-ga-ling.  O.o  :panic:

 

All sarcasm aside, Grigs brought him in here, looked at him closely and said ... nahh!  :whatever:

Several thoughts....

 

First,  there is already a thread on this....     here it is....

But, to your other points....   he's plenty smart enough.   And Harbaugh and the 49ers LOVED his initiative to come out on his own dime...    but, it's against the NFL CBA rules.   A rookie is not supposed to know those rules yet,  so it's not a knock on him.

 

Next....  he's not the first rookie to struggle in a mini-camp.   Not that uncommon.

 

Finally....   just because we didn't draft him,  doesn't mean Grigson didn't like him.   It just means he liked other players more.  It's all about priority,  and Grigson liked or needed other players more than he did Patton.    But it doesn't mean he didn't like him.

 

Sorry.

    • In one of the interviews I listened to with Scott and a Tenn Titans reporter a few months back he was asked what's one of the things that separates you? He said probably what is between my ears. High football IQ, understanding of the game and instincts.
    • Agree with you on the draft takes.   For AR's season, I think mediocrity is what we should hope for( compared to other QBs). We should not forget,that this is basically his rookie season and he's still only 22. So if that would get us to 10-7.....HOORAY !
    • Less than 2 months away when the greatest crushes this Jake Paul guy. Tyson in 3. Tyson is getting in great shape, he looks fast and strong as of now.    When I list boxers where they rank all-time, I go by peak. You have to when it comes to boxing because most fighters Don't last long. Mike Tyson from 1985-1995 only lost once in 10 years. His record in that time frame was 43-1 37 KO's. Buster Douglas KO'd him in the 10th round in a fight where Mike didn't even train for and Mike actually KO'd him in the 8th, Douglas got a 13 count.    Notable wins in that 10 year frame.   Berbick Holmes but he was old, still it was Holmes. Tucker  Spinks Bruno Ruddock (twice)      
    • I'm excited about our future. I think Ballard put together 2 very nice drafts in a row. Never thought we would get Latu, thought we had a better chance at Bowers. Still holding out hope for Cross, he flashes greatness than dissappears, hope he's consistent. Hope Woods takes lead in TE room. I keep writing off Granson, but he keeps impressing. Even if Richardson has a mediocre season I think the team around him could get us to 10-7. 
    • I think you understood his words in a "positive" way, but that's not what he said.   He DID NOT say that "most of you would choose to get married..."   That's your implication. Of course, only women can bring children in this world and most of the women will choose to be married and have children, but that's not exactly what he said.   He said, "doing so - while some others will go on to lead successful career in the world - will take you closer to God's Will"    Here's what he said from the transcript:    He could've said, "even if you go on to have a very successful career, and get the greatest accolades of the world, I think the most important title of a woman is :  Homemaker. And, that would take you closer to God's Will"    But, he didn't say so because he wanted to say exactly what he believes women should do and brought God into that by saying that's His Will.    I think he made a mistake of implying that women are generally excited about marriage and having kids and being a homemaker, when that's only part of a woman's life - even though that could be the most cherished and blessed part of the life.   He only looked at how that made his wife's life - his words, not his wife's words by the way - and projected that to all the women.
