DW - You were the one who made the claim that Tate had bad hands. I asked you to prove it. I even gave you the starting point to prove it from by telling you how many times he was targeted.
I knew how many it was. I knew what the % was and who it compared to on the Pats. And I knew that your claim was bogus because of the information.
You putting it up is YOU providing the facts to support your claim. Or, in this case, have your claim go up in smoke..

Catch Rate = Receptions / throws to
Tate's Catch Rate was about mid-pack among "deep threat" WRs, in terms of "hands.".
Hester wasn't nearly the "deep threat" that Tate was and his receiving production wasn't significantly better than Tate's (even though he's been at it awhile longer). But I don't suppose the Bears will be looking to dump him anytime soon.
