I don't understand why you're now so ready to turn Patrick into the next "Als" or Greg Ellis.
This kid pulled himself up by his bootstraps as a low round pick and beat out his competiton to WIN that third job. Morgan, Smith, Ward, Copper, Williams, Merritt, Rector, Harrell, and anyone else who has been on the practice field trying to shine these past few years.
Not only that, in the three preseason games this summer, he has looked better than BOTH Terry and Key.
You make so much of Tony Romo's 'underdog' status but are so quick to dismiss the much more impressive efforts of a kid who came here after Romo did and who didn't really have a position. He did MORE in LESS time than TR did, Nors.
And if Tony has looked good, Patrick has looked GREAT.
While you continually crow over Tony's beating out Henson, you completely overlook what PC has done, only to say now let him 'compete'.
Well he has competed, and won out, and he will compete again and win out again.
But of course, Price has the 'pedigree', so Patrick's non grata.
