Ben Tate not worried about Terrance West stealing away the starting running back job in Cleveland.
I like Tate and I am not a Tate Fan but do own him in a couple of leagues. All too often a young rookie RB comes into the league and everyone jumps on him as he will take over and o'so often it never happens. I understand West is a solid talent but there have been a ton of very talented RBs that came into a situation like this that took years to develop if they ever did. Last year a ton of rookies did very well but all came into great situations and certainly did not have a guy like Tate in front of them. Yes Tate has injury concerns, but West has never come close to playing with this level of football talent at Townson where as Tate was at Auburn and has already come up behind Foster w/Housotn.
I think West has some great measurables and is a great prospect but I am not close to being ready to give him the keys of my running game and pass protection if I am CLE. I think the kid is in for a big suprise when it goes full speed.
