It's an argument completely lacking in any objectivity. If both are healthy, the guy that produces more should start.
Is Ross a disappointment? Yes. Has Tate exceeded expectations? Yes. Is Tate a more productive player on the field? No. Is Tate reliable from an injury standpoint? No. He was injured as a freshman. He was injured as a junior. He was injured his first TC. He was injured in his 2nd preseason. He went on IR his second season. He hasn't had an injury free season where he actually played an appreciable amount since he was a sophomore.
Tate vs Ross is less productive/less injury prone vs more productive/more injury prone. Neither guy is reliable or a safe bet.
Literally had the exact same thoughts when I read that post. Well said.
