Seems our friend Brandon Tate is making a comeback with the Bengals. Binns, Tate battling for starting wideout job with Bengals | ProFootballTalk

Maybe he just needed a little bit more time

Last time I looked,the Bengals don't have Welker,Lloyd,Branch,and Gaffney

Do you really think Tate would have toppled above those 4 WRs?

Outside of Green,the Bengals have a Meh WR Corps so it's logical that with little depth,Tate rises up the ladder.

I see Marvin Jones more of a threat to land the outside WR spot. Sanu is kind of slow and may be better suited backing up Shipley in the slot.

As for Tate, I'd love to see him get one more solid oppurtunity at a starting WR spot. I'll be routing for em

Tate played very well in the role that Deion Branch subsequently assumed prior to the Randy Moss trade in 2010. He had a very high completion % rate through the first 4 games. Then the Pats traded Moss and traded for Branch, gave Branch Tate's intermediate role and made Tate the "deep threat".

Cincinnati already has a very good young WR to stretch the field in AJ Green. If they are using Tate as more of an intermediate area #2 receiver, I think he could be very solid. He's a nice kid - hope he succeeds, particularly if it's at the expense of the Ravens and Steelers.

He caught zero passes last year. Zero. He made Ocho look productive. He won't be starting - and on the off chance he does it won't be for long.

Highly doubt he'd make this roster, though I used to be a big fan of his. He's not even that good a KR anymore, didn't crack top 15 last year in KR avg. After the Miami game in '10, he was a nonfactor as a returner. Not a very good WR

Tate was lousy in New England. He was a complete non-factor for the Bengals as a receiver last year. He has 24 receptions in 3 seasons.

This is just coach speak on a team with only one 'name' receiver, trying to get guys going. If Tate becomes the team's WR2, that'll be a sign that the Bengals won't be repeating last season's success.

Tate a starter...HA

I'm pretty confident that job will go to one of their new guys. Tate just isn't very talented.

Tate is more of a special teamer then a starting WR....
