We didn't draft the Gates family too, did we?

My friend, He is a LOCK. Let me repeat, he is a lock. He has gotten open deep in both pre-season games but because we have no Quarterback he is 2 touchdowns and about 146 yards short because of it.I keep seeing people post on here drooling over Clyde Gates, the deep threat, his ability to stretch the field... Oh yeah, and the assumption that he will be joining Marshall, Bess, and Hartline while Wallace, Moore and Livas are on the cusp.
I guess we haven't been reading the same practice reports and watching the same preseason games. As of the Carolina game, I have seen nothing impressive out of Gates in terms of his role as a receiver. If we had a position for sprinter, then okay, he's fast. But he has shown virtually no catching ability, no reach for slightly overthrown balls, and absolutely sloppy performances on return attempts. So why is everyone on his d*ck??
Both Wallace and Moore have impressed me more this offseason. If Gates's lackluster performances continue, I could not comprehend why he wouldn't be the odd man out - this year at least.

He was in against the Falcons starters and was open several times (outside of his touchdown catch)And how many of those times were starting DBs on him? Not being patronizing here, I'm actually interested to know if anyone has the stats.
I have a thought. Instead of doing the constant bandwagon heckling that FinHeaven is so famous for, why don't you give me some actual reasons why you think Gates is a lock?
