This is why I never buy a kicker's jersey.
I'm sure I'm in the minority when I say this... but...
THANK THE HEAVENS!!!
Never thought Patterson was good enough to be a starter on a contending team. Leg was entirely too weak, and he wasn't lights out inside the 50.
This is an upgrade at an important spot.
Even better! I wonder what we got in return?
He was accurate qhen he needed him to be

Id rather Riley go anywhere he wants to after he got us into the Divisional game. If it were a 5th different story. But it’s better karma
Logan Cooke is probably partying tonight. No more kickoff duties.

I thought Patterson had 44 TB's in the regular season. But Pederson didn't like the way he was doing his kickoffs and had Logan do them in the playoffs. Over the height of the KO's.
Will it matter as much anymore with the fair catch rule?
Got literally no clue how good McManus is these days, but I do remember him having a cannon leg a few years ago. Based on the presumption that he hasn't fallen off a cliff recently, I love this move. Patterson made 50 yarders feel sketchy based on his ability to get the ball that far down the field.
Upgrade complete I suppose
Baalke said they’re always looking for upgrades. This is one I suppose. Of course we’ll all be headed to the Modis building the first time he misses. Nature of fandom.

My expectations are on the offense to hit the endzone more this year to where long distance FG attempts are rare and fall in line with more last minute attempts going into halftime to pad onto the scoreboard. It is the NFL.
I am sure we're going to have a game or two, probably more based on this year's schedule on paper, where, it will ultimately come down to McManus having to boot one through the uprights for the win. More than likely against teams like the Chiefs, Bills, 49ers, Bengals and Ravens.
We'll see how it shakes out though. In a perfect world? Our defense just smacks offenses all season and holds them to 17 PPG while our offense destroys defenses and scores early and often to where there's no choice but to play one dimensionally to keep pace.
