[Whatever]

Auden Tate by your estimation wasn't even supposed to make the final 53 last year 
I saw,by many that the great Cody Core was supposed to make the roster over Tate 

Your not a Auden Tate fan. To each his own.
But to say he only put up numbers cause of injuries is really shallow thinking 
You know what you would have said if Tate dropped everything .....
" we had injures last year and Tate had his chance to put up numbers but he failed 
To do so" 
Like it or not Auden produced last year and was one of the few guys on the offense that 
Didn't regress. 
If it was all about injuries and what not why hasn't Alex Erickson done more ? 
He's had a million chances to step up and be a difference maker.
Erickson gets all this love on here for not doing too much.

Auden Tate may never become a dominating WR but the fact remains he made plays last year when 
His number was dialed up.and having 2 very inconsistant QB last year 
One who panicked when the pocket closed and the other who has the arm of 7th grade backup 

Uh, Erickson had more catches and yards last year than he did in his first 3 years combined.  He actually had more catches and a higher catch % than Tate.  Ross also set career highs for catches and yards.  Boyd also set career highs for both catches and yards.  I don't see how you can argue that Tate was the only guy who showed progress.
