Tate is better then Harvin . I know Harvin is more explosive and blah blah blah . The guy just can't stay healthy .
Trading for Harvin is by far the worst move John S has ever made .
Just imagine for a moment that we had Tate for 5/31m and Cordelle Patterson on the rookie pay scale . We would still have 7m a year in cap room to extend the likes of Sherman/Thomas/Wilson/Wright/Wagner/Okung and the list goes on .
In stead we have a player who many of you think will stay healthy. What.A.Joke. I really wish it were true but he just can't . Did Tate ever get hurt ? Did Tate break many tackles ? Did Tate basically Catch everything ? Yes.
I hated the trade a year ago and I hate it more so now . I love John Schnieder to death but I have a feeling he would agree with me . I like everything we did this offseason including not resigning Tate .. But only because we have soo much money tied up into Harvin
This is the very definition of fan insanity. Emotions rule the day and logic and reason are thrown to the wayside.
It's one thing to say that the hawks overpaid for Percy, but to say that Tate is better than Percy is beyond ridiculous. The lions guaranteed $13 million to Tate. No other team offered more or even a competing offer from what I heard. The total contract is irrelevant, it's the yearly plus guarantee that's important. The lions gave Tate 2 years at $13milliom, because after the first two years they can cut him at little to no cost. No other team would beat this offer the hawks included.
Tate says that the hawks offered such a tiny deal that one year in detriot at around $6 million would take multiple years in Seattle! So the hawks offered him $3 million later taking up their offer to perhaps $4.
Percy is obviously in another league altogether.
