You have to have momentum changers on your team, Patterson was absolutely a game changer. He would strike fear into opposing teams.@JimmyinSD said:

We will regret losing Patterson. not likely.
assuming that we can replace him with an "avg" kick returner, considering he only had an average of 2 returns per game, we will be giving up a whopping 12 yards per game of field position and .44 points per game.
He was bigger than the numbers Jimmy posted.

I live in Bears country and when they had Hester he struck fear into me, i think he had the potential to go the distance every time he returned a kick.
However, living amongst Bears fans, a lot of them thought he was a wasted roster position, specially when they overpaid for him when it came contract time.
So, i think its more about personal belief not necessarily that opponents thought he was such a huge threat.He really only returned Kick offs.

I think he will be a major asset to the Raiders.

Our lack of offense is what made Patterson an asset, gave "us" hope. There were not a lot of game changes last year when it came to us scoring points, he was like a lottery ticket, cheap dreams, one play wonder. His TDs were like a .250 slugger hitting 30 Hr's on a loosing team, made you cheer, while sitting in 3rd for a wild card.

What I'm reading is that Coley is outperforming Adams right now for rookie WRs in camp.

But he is very talented, and some college underachievers get pretty shocked when they slide really far on draft day. If Coley is playing like he has something to prove, he can beat out Adams.

WR is really a scramble after Thielen and Diggs. Treadwell will make the team, but for the next 3 spots (while Floyd is out), does anyone yet have an idea how the order will play out? A lot depends on whether Jarius Wright is out of the doghouse.
