Tate was never close to the worst return man in the league.  Yet most fans claimed we could easily replace him.  If it was so easy to replace guys like that then wouldn't EVERY TEAM in the league have s guy better than that?

Same with Nugent and many other players that fans squeal about "Not deserving to be on our roster".  You all need to look around the rest of the league and see how hard it is to replace guys who are just "average starters".

Look pal I never squealed about Tate or said he was the worst.

If you read my post on this very thread I even said he should have made the roster over Wright.

He brings much more value.

No, it should not take years to find someone more competent for the future.

They have tried.  Yet, because they have failed...  now that's the gold standard for the league?

No team can be perfect at finding all replacements.  I understand that.

They just have not done well to upgrade the position and that is fact.

So I'll lob this one over to you and others...  why did they cut Tate?  Coaches know best after all.  Was it financial?
