Because he's 10x more physical and a better return guy. That's why.

The Vikings would still have him on the roster if he was worth any value.
This guy Patterson, I would not want that guy on our team at all.
I would take him over Tavon in a hiccup.
Better KOR than TA is PR (or least we forget his bouncing balls or catching balls inside the 5?)
Both have issues with routes and neither is sticky fingers but Patetrsons hands are better and while both are elusive on slip screens Patters has the ability to run over you as well.
ONLY reason TA is still on the roster is because Fisher is and idiot! He EXTENDED him where as MN didn't pick up CP's 5th year option.
And I'm a Tavon guy too.
He's never learned to run patterns so why you would take him over Tavon is a mystery. Because the complaint against Tavon as a receiver is he can't run pass routes either.

R.I.P. Nelson aka TonyHunter87 1971 - 2017 far too soon..
Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
