He may never be a marquise player, or light up the fantasy stat sheets, and that's alright with me.  What I do believe is that he will prove to be a valuable role player in the Bengals evolving offense.

Couldn't agree more Sunset.

A lot of guys get way to hung up on speed. If you take a good look at the top WR's of all time a good bit of them are not world class sprinters. It's a lot more than just speed.

I doubt Tate is ever the leader on the stats board. But I do believe, like you said, he can play an important role in our offense.
