So I was playing catchup on this thread, and two things stand out.
1. There's something fascinating about Michigan fans trying to get their hands around Patterson. The guy is this unstable isotope, big crazy plays and boneheaded ones. And Michigan fans strike me as wanting the world a little more orderly (at least Navarre had the decency to toss picks from the pocket).
As for the throw to the big TE thing, I'm kinda split. The window wasn't super open or clean, but in a lot of offenses, you trust a guy to make non-clean plays. I lean toward throw it, but I can see where some discomfort comes from, though if you don't trust someone to make a play, you limit the offense a lot.
2. A lot of Matt Canada talk, play-calling breakdown. When I pulled it up, looked a lot like a Matt Canada game. Creative and quirky, sometimes less effective than you'd think (his NC State offenses felt that way). But, you have a bad QB and a sizable talent disadvantage, not much way to make all that up.
