Getting away from the numbers along with you, I totally agree on Tate's all-around athleticism. I was just disagreeing with the Welker comparisons, which I don't get.
The big question mark on Tate, even pre-injury, wasn't physical -- it was his polish as a receiver, especially his route running. It's striking how most of the highlight tape is punt/kick returns and end arounds.
Oh, I didn't mean to disagree.
Of current players, Tate reminds me of Mr. 85, though as you point out, his routes need more work. I imagine Brady and Moss can help him in that regard. Here's hoping he catches on and becomes our #3 WR.
