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.
You're preaching to the choir on some of this stuff. Chad had the best feet I've ever seen and yes, he was lightning in and out of his breaks. That doesn't prove that he was always running his routes accurately though. Say he was supposed to cut after 5 yards and instead cuts after 7-8 yards. It may look nice to us thanks to his athletic prowess, but that doesn't mean the route was accurate.
That said, you don't lead the AFC in receiving (a record) 4 consecutive times by being a sloppy route runner. Just more BS from CP fans who blame Chad for their boy being in AZ.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
