Miss that guy. Hate to be reminded that Percy's money kept us from signing Tate.
There were games last year where he didn't do anything..That was his MO here ..Have a good game then he was off for 3..I certainly wasn't upset when he left..Stafford and Megatron will make any wr happy .DavidSeven":n4penxih said:Golden doesn't miss games. He doesn't even miss snaps. He's a great and reliable player. Currently leading all NFL WRs in YAC, which was supposed to be Harvin's #1 asset. It's a shame we lost him.

We had the potential to be straight up overpowered and impossible to defend with our receiving core next season, without Tate I just don't feel that way.
I just don't like being in a situation where I feel like our entire offense now depends on Harvin staying healthy. Makes me very worried for next year.
I don't like how our receivers would look as a whole with no Harvin or Tate...
I really think we are going to feel this loss...
I expect Tate to put up monster numbers next year and will make all the doubters on even our own forums eat crow.
Really the whole root of this problem revolves around paying Harvin such an absurd amount. He's worth it if he stays healthy but it's a gamble for sure, right now I think he's very unlikely to play every game next season but at least a 50% chance he plays half them.
And yet weren't people saying that its ok to bring harvin here even though he won't have as many opportunities? If that is the case then why wouldnt it make sense to have kept Tate?kobebryant":crtxlju8 said:He would still be nice to have. But he isn't worth what Detroit paid for him - good for him though; as he may be worth it to them and their pass heavy offense, but not to the Hawks.
I think his "play making" is why he is no longer here, and never will be again. Not referring to his on field play making...Tech Worlds":26y69s8b said:Wish we still had Tate. He is a play maker.
