My take on this thread, is that some people recently bought Tate's jersey, and are now pissed that he's gone!
Yeah it's weird there is so much animosity towards Harvin. I mean we just won a Super Bowl with him playing an integral role in that game. I like Tate too, but to say that Harvin is already a complete waste after Year 1 under him is a joke.Wartooth":8uezjrg1 said:My take on this thread, is that some people recently bought Tate's jersey, and are now pissed that he's gone!

The first pick is definitely part of that cost.sc85sis":1px8xizt said:Yes, we gave up three picks. However, one was quid pro quo in exchange for Harvin himself--a pick for a player. Only the third and seventh were extra picks that could be counted as "lost" in that trade.
Unless you work for the Seahawks, you cannot definitively state that Tate is gone because of Harvin's salary. Someone is gone as a result, but it may or may not be Tate.
His 13 mill+ per year contract is also part of that cost. When it comes time to pay Russel, Sherman, and Thomas, that contract is going to hamper us greatly(hence the cuts we have seen so far and will likely see next year. I.E. possibly Lynch Mebane etc. plus letting Tate walk). Over all I don't see Harvins' value being nearly that great. Especially with his injuries taken into account.
Think of this, Thomas will not make as much as Harvin. Sherman will most likely not make as much as Harvin. Do you guys think that Harvin has as much value on our team as those two guys?
He is/was very costly and so far has hardly reached the field. Will he next year? I hope so.

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
You may be on to something.....Wartooth":1iogqpk4 said:My take on this thread, is that some people recently bought Tate's jersey, and are now pissed that he's gone!
