  • If he stays for his senior season. - And I think Wes incorrectly tweeted it was Bray...

  • Good stuff. Would love for him to come back and give us some hope on offense.

  • If he stays, he needs to be prepared to really invest himself in improvement. as others have said before, he hasn't shown that he fits the mold of a Manning/Luck in that they study their brains out to be in command on the field. If he isn't willing to make that commitment, I strongly believe he'll have a fine, 5+ year career as a backup.

    EDIT: yeah, apparently I thought we were talking about Bray.

    Patterson is gone, though. Everything I've heard says he would be academically ineligible to return anyway. He'll be a second or third round pick... basically a risky investment with huge upside should he turn out to be coachable.

  • Hope he stays. Without him, we really don't have a chance to win 7 games.

  • He said the same thing about CP and would probably say the same thing about Hunter.

    I understand why each of them probably will leave, but if they do, whoever advised them to do so would not be giving them quality advice, IMO. Hunter is the one who it makes the most sense to leave. (Potential and kids).

    Edit: I thought he said that about CP, not Bray. One probably could say that about Bray and it not be too far from the truth though.
