Golden Tate says Matthew Stafford not Russell Wilson is the best quarterback hes had in his career

Wiki Article

It's never surprising when a receiver takes an indirect shot at a former quarterback, but it is surprising when someone says is a better quarterback than . In that sense, what said earlier this week was both surprising and newsworthy, even though he's hardly the first-ever receiver to snub a former quarterback -- remember when ? , the former , , and receiver said that Stafford has been the best quarterback he's played with to this point in his career. "Stafford's been the best quarterback I've played with," Tate said. "The guy can flat out play, he's tough, and his attitude is amazing, and he just wants to play ball. For me, I have nothing but praises for him." Tate spent 4.5 seasons in Detroit catching pa Jordan Berry Jersey ses from Stafford. It was there that he posted the best individual numbers of his career, averaging 66.8 yards Jesse James Jersey per game as he established himself as one of the league's top slot guys. But the Lions never managed to win a playoff game with Tate despite qualifying for the postseason twice. On the other hand, Tate began his career in Seattle, where he spent his rookie year catching pa ses from and . That 2010 season resulted in the 7-9 Seahawks somehow making the playoffs and upsetting the in the wild-card round before getting crushed by the the following week. The next season saw become the third quarterback of Tate's career, but we can skip over that season. Because in 2012, Wilson arrived. And it's Wilson -- not Ha selbeck, although he remains an underappreciated quarterback all these years later -- who is the most notable snub. From 2012-13, Wilson led the Seahawks to a 24-8 record, two playoff appearances, and one championship. Tate was a member of those teams. But in that two-year window with Wilson, he averaged 51.2 yards per game. So again, he didn't see nearly as much individual succe s in Seattle as he did in Detroit. Just to be doubly clear, Tate added that he thinks Stafford is better than the quarterbacks he's played with who also won playoff games. "It's almost unfair that he's such a good player and doesn't Mike Webster Jersey have playoffs or a ring to show for it," Tate said. "That kind of hurts my heart that I wasn't able to help change that. But I think over his career, if you put him in another organization, maybe things are different. I don't know. I've played with some guys over my years that I've won playoff games with that I don't think are as good." There's also a slim chance Tate, , could be talking about , who helped the Eagles beat the Bears in the playoffs. But again, it's Wilson who is Robert Golden Jersey the notable snub. Not Foles. So, let's compare the two quarterbacks. Let's compare Stafford and Wilson. As pa sers: Comp. % YPA TD% INT% Rating Stafford 62.4 7.1 4.4 2.4 88.4 Wilson 64.2 7.9 6.0 1.9 100.3 As runners (and keep in mind, Wilson has played in three fewer seasons than Stafford): Yards YPA TDs Stafford 1,020 3.4 14 Wilson 3,651 5.7 16 And finally, by looking at their resume from a win-lo s perspective: Regular-season winning % Playoff record Super Bowl appearances Super Bowl wins Stafford 46.8 0-3 0 0 Wilson 67.4 8-5 2 1 It's difficult -- rather, it's impo sible to make an argument that Stafford is better than Wilson, because Wilson has been better than Stafford in every single way. He's more durable. He's more efficient. He's a better runner. He's better at taking care of the football. He's better at throwing touchdowns. And so on. It is worth noting, though, that Tate played with Wilson during the first two years of his career and that Wilson has improved considerably as a pa ser Ryan Shazier Jersey since those early seasons. Perhaps that played a role in his a se sment. Maybe Tate would feel different if he had spent the last four years in Seattle and Le'Veon Bell Jersey the first four years of his career in Detroit. If the order had been reversed, maybe Tate would hold a higher opinion of Wilson.And maybe, as Tate said, Stafford has been a bit unlucky. He's never had the kind of defense that Wilson had during the Seahawks' Super Bowl runs. Maybe if Stafford had joined a different organization, he would have achieved more postseason succe s. Context matters.All that said, we can only judge what we know. And based on what we know, Wilson has been better than Stafford by a significant margin. Meanwhile, after spending the first nine years of his career playing with mostly good quarterbacks, Tate is onto New York, where he'll spend the upcoming season catching pa ses from 38-year-old and quite po sibly at some point, rookie .
