Interesting FanShot from tomahawk44 tonight. The Columbia Daily Tribune is reporting that former Mizzou backup quarterback Chase Patton has been contacted by the Kansas City Chiefs.
According to the Tribune, the Chiefs were looking for a contact number for Patton on draft weekend. The Chiefs have the final pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. They also figure to be players for Chase Patton if they choose to pursue him in the undrafted free agent market.
Like Matt Cassel, Patton has been a career backup.
Chase Patton: 18/31, 256 yards
Matt Cassel - 10/14, 97 yards
Of course they each played behind outstanding college quarterbacks in Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart (USC) and Chase Daniel (MU).
There was an ESPN the Magazine piece done on Patton recently. Scouts said the quarterback position is so difficult to draft (citing Tom Brady) that they have to check out everyone, especially the ones with the size.
"You simply have to take a hard look at a guy who has those types of measurables at a big school," says one. "Because there's no set way to find a quarterback."
What do you think of Chase Patton as a "project' draft pick?

I swear
I hate the names parents are giving their kids these days. I feel like an old fogey saying that, but alas, it’s true. Whatever happened to giving you kid a regular name? Everywhere you turn now there’s a 1000 “Chase’s” running around. Isn’t that kind of asking for your kid to be a little shit? Chase me!
My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6.

would love it
as a Mizzou grad, I had the chance to watch Patton be a part of this team, and he is absolutely a class act. He could have left school earlier (already graduated) but decided to come back because he didn’t want to leave Mizzou in a lurch if Daniel went down with an injury. He also could have transfered when it was clear he was going to be lead-frogged by Daniel on the depth chart (Patton was a pretty highly-touted recruit himself, if I remember correctly), but again chose to stick around.
His problems stemmed from not being able to recognize the intricacies of the spread offense, at least not to the level that Daniel could, having played in the offense through high school. But Patton definitely has the size, arm, and leadership skills (he was called General, and not just due to his last name) you look for. Can he put together? Who knows? I wouldn’t take him above the sixth round but would love to see him in red and gold.

Good, cause he better not be using it if he played for us!

but didn’t want to leave college trim.

Question, if he has already left school
why does he have to be drafted? I would think he would be a free agent if no one has spoke for him.

he had graduated, but still played at Mizzou this last season
had a year of eligibility left and didn’t declare for the draft

I wouldn't mind taking a look at him.
But comparing Chase Daniel to Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart?
by JayrodT on Apr 21, 2009 8:28 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
college game is different than the pro game
comparing them as pro prospects, the comparison collapses, but for what they were asked to do and how they preformed in college, it’s pretty legit
by RoyalsFanInBillings on Apr 21, 2009 8:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Great college QBs
Chase had great numbers. But it’s pretty obvious he’s not a great pro (apparently neither is Leinart).
by Joel Thorman on Apr 21, 2009 8:36 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
They're comparing him to Matt Cassel who was stuck behind Palmer and Leinart.
by RedNose on Apr 21, 2009 8:47 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Never mind, you got it right. They were associating Chase DANIEL to Palmer and Leinart.
I read your post too quickly and was thinking Chase Patton.
My mistake.

Only 1 small thing I don;t like about these kinds of posts
and nothing against tomahawk44 at all; is the entire NFL knows of Pioli’s magic with draft picks and this gives people clues about whom to look at also. Hopefully either know one takes this serious enough to look at him also or Pioli is pulling one over peoples heads to waste a pick themselves.

I know a lot of us
here at Mizzou were cheering for Patton to play when Chase Daniel was sucking it up and losing us games by throwing interceptions at the worst possible time. I’d like to see the Chiefs pick him up.

Patton as our field general?
ironic.

Just the names being ironic.
If patton was a great player.

it'd be more of a coincidence than ironic
ironic would mean opposite in an unfortunate or humorous way… like if someone named Richie Rich was poor, that’s ironic. If someone named Patton was a field general and another person named Patton was a war general, that would be a coincidence.

+1
That would be “fitting”
also…Patton, of WWII fame, was also a football player for Army.
You guys work out the cosmological signifigance of that.
Dare…dare again…always dare

by Ochophosphate on Apr 22, 2009 2:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
One question...
His passion for the game. The guy was accepted to dental school. His plan, as I hear it, is to go there if he doesn’t get drafted. So, if the draft doesn’t go his way, he’s walks away from the game.
That being said, I would love for us to land him.
Go Mizzou!

Why struggle
to live being bounced around the league when it’s a known truth that not everyone has what it takes to suceed in the NFL? I think it’s intelligent to have a backup plan in place.
My crystal ball says that the Chiefs will not be drafting Aaron Curry. Their record at the end of 2009 will be 10-6.

Interesting
I always loved chase daniel. But looking at his backup intrigues me too. Honestly, We should bring them both in and have them battle it out.

There is no point in using a draft pick on this kid
Patton would probably jump at the chance for us to sign him as a UDFA.
Use the Mr. Irrelevant pick on someone you know will be in demand by multiple teams when the draft is done.
Pick up the phone in the 7th and tell Patton you want him in KC one way or another, I think you can get him here without the pick.
by kcsno56 on Apr 22, 2009 9:48 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
UDFA
I think he’ll be there after the draft.
I’ve been hoping he’d be contacted by KC.
Seems like a perfect story line… pick him up after the draft.
Cut Croyle and Martin.
