More new....than you.....Auden Tate.

I have seen a few mentions of Tate so far and they have all been positive. He is still super young too. So dont end scene yet.

But nothing there says he's a "can't miss" or "HOF receiver".  He even said "Let's see what Zac and Corp do."  None of that sounds like Bengalitis thinks this guy is the second coming of Jerry Rice.  I get some of you guys want better for the team, but let's stop twisting people's words please.

Core has a career 50.8 catch percentage and averages 12.0 per reception and 6.1 per target.
Tate has a career 33.3 catch percentage and averages 8.8 per reception and 2.9 per target.

Core has also played over ten times as many ST snaps (465) as Tate (43).

For some reason having to play under Marvin Lewis and Zampese and Lazor was an absolute death sentence for all the players we like, but there are some players that are conclusively 100% crap and need to be cast off.  Our old coaches sabotaged us and the new ones are awesome...could Core get better?  Hell no, he's awful.

(08-09-2019, 04:17 PM)Earendil Wrote: The fact that you claimed he said Willis was a "can't miss roster spot." He said no such thing.

(08-09-2019, 04:32 PM)fredtoast Wrote: You must be thinking of Tate.

I don't remember Core messing up with the game on the line.  In '17 against the Ravens he had a 31 yard reception with just 30 seconds left in the first half that set up a FG on the final play.  The game was not on the line but it was a "pressure situation".

(08-09-2019, 04:37 PM)fredtoast Wrote: Actually he said another team would sign him to their active roster which is basically the same thing.
