Tate is...okay. He's got some positives and negatives:
Positive
Good hands
Doesn't fumble much
Generally gets decent yardage
Negative
Good for some real forehead slappers every now and then
Brings next to nothing as a WR (Sunday's big play notwithstanding)
Not really electric as a returner - he's not going to make the game breaking ST play
Ultimately, he's fairly reliable outside of a couple boneheaded plays every now and then. That said, we could definitely upgrade and try to find that returner who could be an x-factor. Those don't exactly grow on trees though. You either have to pay decent money (like the Ravens and Chargers have for Jacoby Jones) or you have to spend a quality pick on one.
