I'd still let him walk but he hasn't really been able to show much yet.

I get what you are saying, but a safety has so many responsibilities.  Playing against a guy like Hill that can run and pass (as well as block).  The running game of the Saints and Jets are no joke.  However, I see what you are saying and Bates is at his best (IMHO) when he is facing a wide-open passing attack like the Chiefs or Bills.
