Drew Sample is a Bum

[Whatever]

Have you seen the type of catches Tate attempts to make vs. Sample?  Could that help explain the difference in catch % for Sample vs really any of our receivers?

He mostly catches little 5 yard dumpoffs.  He's had a couple across the middle, and one nice one on the sideline, but the overwhelming majority have bs dink and dunk, that 99.9% of the skill position players in the league would make at an equal rate.

Auden Tate is a 7th round receiver people wanted to get reps as our #4/5.  Drew Sample is a 2nd round TE that is now our #1 TE in a pass heavy offense.  If your argument is to pit Sample against a low draft pick and role player, then you're basically proving the point.  The guy has absolutely no business being a #1 TE, nor should he have been taken in the first 4 rounds.

You blatantly added players that weren't WR's and omitted players that were to make a BS counterargument not rooted in fact.

If you're curving based on draft round, why do you trash Erickson as a returner all the time?

And what has Tate mainly caught this year?  Give up screens on 3rd downs, sitting down in zone, and busted coverages.  He made a handful of tough grabs against a washed up J-Jo who found himself unemployed the next day.  He's a WR.  He should have a better YPT than a "bum TE."
