Sweet!

He is out of our division.

I dunno about that move concerning the Seahawks. Percy Harvin is a great player, but is very injury prone.

Golden Tate is more of that Anquan Boldin type player that is SO under valued, IMO.

Tate ALWAYS scared me when he had the ball in hands. Happy to see him gone.

I don't know if Tate was better than Baldwin and the other guy the Seahawks--you know--won the Super Bowl with. I don't think that he was.

He's not a system fit, and probably one of those #2 WRs that you'd prefer to be a #3. I don't think he's a significant talent upgrade from a guy I hope gets another chance in the NFL--former Arizona Cardinal Early Doucet.

A good match for a more horizontal passing game like it seems that Detroit will run. Not a great match for a vertical passing game like we've asserted we prefer.

Love his attitude, though.

Really? I think your wrong IMO cause he was under utilized in a run first offense. How many times have you seen Tate trip in the end zone on a wide open TD despite a bad ball by a QB? :D

Wait. I thought Detroit was in our Division. :D

Arizona has played the Lions 12 times since 1998.

I don't see anything in there making him even close to worthy of being on the same page of comparison as Q. JMO

Hes an OK player. But hardly special.

Hmm... I did say type, but fair enough.

You know I am a Boldin fan so I am not sure how to word it better. Tate's game is his size, and power, he doesn't have the hands Anquan does, or the route running skills but I feel has the same physical traits that make Anquan special.

Regardless the point was he is not in this division anymore.

I can't really say either, but he seems good for a big play against the Cardinals per game, and he seemed to have big play potential.


Well, I am at least happy he is gone, even if it is a one man party. :D
