I think it was more of an exaggeration than a joke.
Anyway, Tate isn't terrible, but I'd love to see a more dynamic return man for kickoffs. His play a couple years ago was extremely frustrating with the fair catches inside the 5 and running backwards as bengalfan74 mentioned. With that said, I do believe he has realized (or been coached to realize) his mistakes and has been cutting down on the mental weakness of his game. I also believe he's a decent outside WR in emergency situations, so I don't mind him around for another year or two. I do think he has/had issues to complain about though. I think Tate gets a lot of his hate in JN from the year that it seemed like every time he touched the ball (exaggeration) he would do something dumb.
