Anyone who states we should have given him All-Pro money to keep him is also wrong.
The important thing to remember is in both situations I'm right.
Bates is an interesting one to debate. He had an elite year here, a few good or decent years, and one year where he sucked and turned it on in the playoffs. Dude was all over the place.
In Atlanta, he was elite last year and had a good year this year. He was PFF's 12th highest ranked S. Really good. But worth elite money?
His lack of consistency is likely why they talked at paying him.
