Never mind that it's a team game and he would not have won those games without an elite defense, elite offensive line, and really good skill position talent around him. That includes a Top 10 talent at receiver who bailed him out on numerous noodle arm throws during his career.
I think you will fall in love with Pat the more you see of him. He has a great personality.

I saw that as well, the week leading up to the draft. Those statements [a 'slap in the face' to not go first, etc..] seemed kinda manufactured/disingenuous to me. It was counter to everything else he has said/done throughout this process, and even college.
To me, and I'm totally speculating, I felt it was someone pushing him to be more brazen or cocky. Perhaps what I viewed as kind and genuine came off as weak to coaches and GM's? Perhaps they prefer a guy with some swagger?
Either way, thrilled with the pick, and think we are in a better situation than Houston. |
