His skill set is similar but the level in which he does it isn't. Tanner is not a number 2 in the NFL. He's a 5th or 6th option.

In 2005 a lot of people probably thought the same about Moore. He bounced around from the roster to the PS too, and didn't get the chance to prove himself until a couple years later. It's all about opportunity.

Pretty much yup. While there isn't much that separates Number 1 from Number 4 in the NFL, Its a huge gap to make up. That is why a player can go from great to mediocre in one season by just losing a 1/2 step or 3/4"
