I was just talking with a few friends how Quinton Patton reminded me of Justin Blackmons playing style and ability when he came out of college. They are the same style WR, redzone fade thread, hand catcher, and similar measurable.. ie, height, 4.0 time, vert, weight. They only thing was Blackmon had a stronger upper body... Now we know why..

He has an alcohol history, could have been weed.

Apparently his contract is written in a way that this could cost him all his guaranteed money, and if they so choose, the Jags can cut him with no cap consequences.

I haven't seen a ton of either guy, but they don't strike me as tremendously similar. Blackmon's physicality is perhaps his best quality. Patton isn't terribly physical. Their measuables are in the same ballpark. Blackmon is about an inch taller and a couple pounds heavier. His bench number was almost twice Patton's. But Patton's agility numbers are markedly better. They could put up similar numbers, I suppose, but I don't see great similarity in how they play the game.

I think Keenan Allen would be a better comparison for Blackmon in the 2013 draft. The way they use their bodies and catching radius are more similar. Built more similar too.

I may be wanting to hype up the pick... I do like the pick and after reading and watching more of his highlights I like him more.

The more I read stories such as this, the more appreciate Baalke and co. for looking at all of the evidence before bringing a player in here. With the exception of Culliver, and perhaps Anthony Davis (who made comments on Ndamukong Suh after the victory in Detroit during the 2011 season) the Niners haven't gotten on the news for the wrong reasons. Truly a testament to Baalke for finding those players with athletic and personable qualities.

Ian Williams got a DUI a year or so ago. Didn't get much press, but he was a PS guy.

 

[Crimsoncrew]

As did Al Netter.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

And Dobbs?

Haha. One or two, I seem to recall.
