You say he was a poor route runner, I think he was a great route runner. Fact is, neither of us know exactly what his routes were or if he ran them accurately. We can only go on what we've heard and I never saw any evidence or articles suggesting he was a bad route runner. If you have anything other than opinion, feel free to share it. I won't hold my breath though.

Watch his feet. Look at how quick he was in and out of breaks. Very few times did we see miscommunication between him and Palmer. He ran quite a few option routes and was able to recognize coverage quickly and get open. Chad had some of the quickest feet we've ever seen period. Double moves. Made it seem like he was going one way and put it into high gear in another lane.

Sure, we don't know exactly what the routes were, but he was quick in and out of breaks. Great toe-tapping plays. Chad was the best route runner we ever had. It's not about what we think the route is, it's how he runs the route. We've heard how good he was and we saw how his footwork was. It blows my mind someone is trying to argue against that with you.
