Being fast apparently creates separation in people's minds. Auden Tate gets better separation than Mike Williams, but that can't be true because he isn't as fast.
It's a really weird circular discussion.
Auden Tate can't be Mike Williams because Williams is a deep threat and Tate is not. Williams tied for the league lead with 8 40+ yard receptions last year. Tate has never had a 40+ yard reception. That's why it's a terrible comparison. It's like saying a heavyweight boxer who has never knocked anyone out is like Mike Tyson. If a boxer isn't knocking out opponents, they aren't like Tyson. If a WR isn't generating 40+ yard chunk plays, they aren't like Williams, unless you're saying he's a poor man's version.
