I think I’d still want to see who is available and bring in some competition. I could be wrong, but that Washington game kind of gave me the impression Pederson didn’t trust the kicker and went for it on 4th. Yes, Pederson is known for going for it. Week 1 was a long time ago. But from what I remember, a couple field goals in those situations and they probably would’ve won. Probably Another game throughout the season as well.

Do we re-sign him? (I think so)
Drawbacks are leg strength kicking deep and touchback percentage.

He kicks a consistently pretty ball. Even if it's off-target, it flies the same way. Gives him a good chance of making just about everything. I'd re-sign him for sure.

You mean the first game of the season the very week after signing Patterson off the waiver wire? Nobody trusted the kicker yet.
Yes. I trust him to make crunch time kicks and I am sure he will get better when it comes to other facets of the game.
Don't Kickers take a few years to get to their peak too?
Like most the "undrafted FA kickers" that make have a few years out of football before making it. He is only 23 so he can still get better.
Let him make some clutch kicks, and then it will be difficult to replace him.
Resign him, he's as accurate as Matthew Wright was with another solid 5 yards on that leg. I would've kept Wright, it's more important to me for a guy to hit all his 40s than to be able to hit a 60. I think Patterson has room to improve and probably will.
Re-sign him and bring in competition.

This. The extra leg is nice but we need accurate and dependable way more. Unless we manage to find a Justin Tucker I try to keep Riley

This season Patterson is more accurate than Tucker
Patterson FG% = 84.4
Tucker FG% = 84.2
Patterson XP%=96.8
Tucker XP% = 96.7
I would just keep Patterson

Was surprised to see Patterson ahead of Scobee. Knowing Scobee had a bigger leg and thus likely given more opportunity to attempt at longer range (which would lower overall fg%), I just ran some quick numbers applying Patterson's FG% at each set of 10 yard distances (20-29 yards, 30-39 yards, etc...) to Scobee's number of attempts at each distance. And Patterson still comes out ahead but only barely. Scobee made 235 kicks for us and Patterson would be at 238 or 81.9% of his kicks. thank you pro football reference.com for making this a 5 second calc.
Anyways got to hand it to Patterson. Has been good for us. Not quite as accurate as peak Lambo and obviously doesnt give you the range that Scobee did, but pretty money under 50 yards. No is one is good enough to not face competition but would definitely like to see him return. If someone beats him out next year so be it. But honestly I dont think it'd be easy to find someone who could. He has been good.
I'd re-sign him definitely. I know we all want the kind of guy who can bang 65 yarders like Justin Tucker, but there's a reason why he's the best in the business.
For an Offense that moves the ball so well between the 20's, having a guy who's all but money from 45 and in is great to have. He's also only 23 years old, so he's just getting started.
Resingn him and bring in some young talent to compete with him.
Nope, bring back Long Ding.
No brainier to re sign him. He’s reliable and young. No need to create a hole in the roster unnecessarily. A full off-season in a strength and conditioning program would probably improve his leg strength aswell
