What is missing? Not one play did the ball go over his shoulder and not one play did get make a guy miss in the open field.
Auden Tate is limited. He is an ok receiver but is forced to make circus catches because of his limitations. He is not a guy that is going to catch a quick hitch and take it 10 or 12 yards. He is not a guy that is gonna get a step on a corner 1 on 1 running a seven eight or nine.
When did WR's have to be able to make guys miss? Here he is running after the catch.

He is a possession guy who is going to catch the ball and move the chains based on where the ball is caught. No one ever said he was going to be great after the catch, but tons of guys (think Alshon Jeffrey) have had great careers doing that. People for some reason think every receiver should do it all and that just isn't the case. The jump ball receiver is not dead the public though has fallen in love with the YAC guy though.
