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.

People would be criticizing AJ and Ross even if Tate wasn’t on the team. Has nothing to do with liking one guy over the other. They have both been really bad at times this season. AJ for weeks on end. And Ross enough to get benched all together. Tate OTOH makes the most out of his limited opportunities.

But by the sounds of it we’re about to see Tate involved a lot more, so we will find out once and for all what he can do. Guy had 575 yds last year with Dalton and Finley throwing him the ball, so I think he might do pretty well with Burrow.
