There is no doubt that Patterson is an incredible athelete but NFL scouts, coaches and owners are not amused by repeated, childish taunting penalties. The good news on that is a competant head coach WILL deal with that and fix it quickly.. The other more troubling thing with CP is his apparent inability to "get" the playbook.. If he can't figure out how to run routes and get on the same page with his QB he will most likely be limited to being a "return specialist"..
As far as CP returning next year, if the stories about his abilities in the classroom are true it definately wont happen.. IMO it wont happen even if the stories aren't true..
