Fine but what have we seen core do on special teams that is of meaningful value? Is what he does on special teams out weight the fact that he’s a liability as a receiver? Can he alternate at tight end as some many people seem to thin Tate can. A position we might need help at.
Do you honestly think his special teams bonifieds as a blocker exceed Tate’s or that it even really matters? A guy that could get blown over by a stiff breeze vs a guy everyone else thinks could maybe play tight end?
The problem with you is you can’t separate opinions from facts. You think your opinions are facts and others opinions are wrong. By definition they can’t be. I’m sorry you’re maybe the most obtuse person I’ve ever wasted time arguing with.
It absolutely can get worse. Core hasn't produced, but he hasn't made any grave mistakes. There is plenty of room for wrong/bad routes that lead to INTs, missed tackles on STs, dropped passes that lead to picks.
I understand the frustration with Core. I don't understand the frustration with waiving Tate. The guy literally cannot beat Core out of a job. Is it disappointing to see him not get a shot? I mean, I guess it'd be cool to see him come in when the Bengals are in the redzone to see if he can utilize his size. However, the reality is Tate isn't good. He is obviously not better than Core, or he would be getting gametime right now. He was drafted with the intent of being a project.
I'm critical of the coaching staff, but one thing that Marvin has always done incredibly well is find/develop talent. If Tate was a valuable asset to the offense, he would be playing.
