Neither Core nor Tate is a great WR.  They both have flaws and they have both made mistakes.   Overall Core has made a lot more catches in preseason and in regular season games.  His rookie preseason and regular season performance was superior to Tate, but none of us really consider him to be a great WR.  But for some reason a few people here have decided that Tate is much better than Core.  The coaches have seen both of these players perform much more than any of us have.  They made their decision based on a lot more knowledge than any of us have.  And if yoiu say Tate should be benched fro a drop you have to say that tate should also be benched for his drops.

Personally I don't see either of them being a regular player for us, but since the coaches have so much more information than any of us I am not going to criticize them for playing Core over Tate.  Most of the people here are basing their criticism on the fact that Core did not make the catch.  The coaches did not know that would happen at the time they made their decision.

2016 - Cody Core could be a gem!  We need to put him on the field and see what we've got!  He was the 199th pick, but that doesn't mean anything!
2018 - Holy crap, why did we ever put Cody Core on the field?!  YE GODS!!!!  He was the 199th pick for a reason!

2018 - Auden Tate could be a gem!  We need to put him on the field and see what we've got!  He was the 253rd pick, but that doesn't mean anything!
2020 - Auden Tate [to be determined]
