You would have to agree that they don't seem to have a problem using Tee, Boyd, and Gio in the red zone.
It's just funny to me. We had people talking all off-season about just throwing the ball up to Tate on the fade in the end zone and when they try that, he doesn't come through. Then it's "Blah, blah, blah. the fade sucks. The coaches aren't using him right.". Then we have nuggets of wisdom like "If he catches a slant inside the 10, it's a TD 8 out of 10 times". Of course, he averages 3.7 yac, but whatever.
Even funnier is his fans repeatedly tear down other WR's on this team to build him up(Like AJ and Ross in this thread), but point out any of Tate's flaws and they act like you insulted their first born.
AJ is coming around, Ross is done and Tate has shown to, at least, keep the chains moving. Zac and Callahan both said he's been underutilized.
Tate should only give them one more option when they're in the redzone and it shouldn't only be to attempt fades. He scored a touchdown once every four catches in college. There's no reason he can't be productive in the redzone here if used right.
