The reality is that a guy like Ross can have a ton of drops and still have a higher catch % because he can separate and create easier throws for the QB. Tate has a hard time getting separation which puts a ton of pressure on the QB to have great ball placement and put the ball where only Tate can get it. That results in a lot of inaccurate throws.
It's also easier for defenders to make a play on the ball due to that lack of separation.
He is what he is, which is a #4-5 WR. There's nothing wrong with that and I'm not saying he should be cut, but they need to be trying to upgrade over him.
Agreed. If they can find an upgrade, then take it. With that being said, Tate is a decent receiver. He's no world beater, but he was a 7th round pick who has been able to provide some sparks at times which is great value for a 7th rounder. If he can be a 4th-5th guy and provide that same life sometimes/perhaps be a red zone weapon, that would be great.
