I covered Patton a lot before work took me to St. Louis/SN. He had a rifle. Arm strength was very similar to Gabbert's. And much, much better than Daniel's. He had an NFL-caliber throwing arm. He wasn't as good at reading defenses or playing at high pace as Chase. But his phyiscal talents were good enough to be a good starting QB in college. The offense they ran under Chase was also designed to fit Daniel's talents - quick reads, distribution of the ball, exploiting tight and crowded areas of the field. Under Patton, it would have looked a little different and more like what it did with Gabbert at QB (though without the David Yost fruit-loopiness. |

Besides, our defenses folded like cheap whores in that second Nebraska game. Helu had 150 yards on his first five touches. He took the first one to the house untouched. |

Ok, I just saw clips of the Black and Gold game on you tube and that was a disaster. They still can't snap the ****ing football and Matty Mauk has worse butterfingers than Franklin. Terrible, awful. I'm cringing, just cringing.

Expectations are low on this end, though, overall. Recruiting is kind of a mess. They've got some decent commitments, but it's a lot of reaching and guessing. The 10 commitments break into four categories, IMO. Category 1: Solid major kid, not a star Michael Fairchild, Blue Valley West (Overland Park) Paul Adams, Christ Presbyterian (Nashville) Kevin Pendleton, Lee's Summit West (Lee's Summit) Greg Taylor, East St. Louis (East St. Louis, IL) Category 2: We're taking lotto tickets to get footholds in new areas Rocel McWilliams, West Florida Tech (Pensacola, FL) THomas Richard, Christ Presbyterian (Nashville) Finis Stribling IV, Independence (Thompson's Station, TN) (This guy was viewed by at least one CUSA program as a December backup plan) Category 3: Meh Kendall Blanton, Blue Springs South (Blue Springs, MO) Category 4: I have a pity offer because my family is involved with the program Darnell Green-Beckham, Hillcrest (Springfield, MO) Grant Jones, Rock Bridge (Columbia, MO) |
It just astounds me that Missouri as inept as it is in recruiting.
I wish they would just raze Faurot, but there just isn't space for the stadium. Only thing I could think of would be to bulldoze Hearnes, build most of the stadium in its footprint and parking lot, then turn Faurot into a lot, building a small multipurpose building elsewhere. |

Patton looks like a guy you would see a lot at harpos in westport

Great, great kid, though. He and his wife (who also was a stud track and basketball star at Rock Bridge) are one of the happiest couples I've come into contact with. |
