I hate to say it, but I'd MUCH RATHER have a return guy who doesn't fumble than one who occasionally gets a TD return every few years, but several fumbles a year or God forbid every game.. 

Perhaps my memory is failing me, but I thought the issue with Tate wasn't fumbles. It was that he would take a kickoff 8 yards in the endzone and try to run it out or that he would fair-catch inside the 5.
