Should I dig up some of your commentary from the past and then dismiss what you say because you were wrong about a player. Get your head our of your ass.
However, he pretty much duplicates Shep, only for much more money. A 31 year old receiver that averages about 10 yards per catch on a team that already has an established slot receiver and completely lacks a downfield threat....yeah, that's an odd signing.
last year and he is a gamer. I'm guessing it's really a 2 year deal all things considered, and as others have said he is instantly our best WR. He was the best WR on Detroit for the past few years and he was productive. Pretty sure he's also a good blocker.
A little bit of an awkward fit but as others have said this could mean they are willing to trade Shepard. Or play him/Engram outside more. Or just plan to have a bunch of interchangeable pieces.
was paid 200k per reception last year, he has been shit the last two seasons.
That's inaccurate. He was good from 14-17. 4 straight seasons of 90 catches and over a thousand yards.
My fault... Didn't crack 1000 in 2015... But he's been solid since 2014. Last year he got traded mid-season and the Eagles didn't know how to use him. I firmly believe PS can get the most out of him.
who really gives a rats ass about the money.....JFC, it's not like they're giving him AB money...always liked him as a WR and he's definitely a positive move for the team.
Solid, certainly not spectacular receiver. I want to see the contract Â
I really just don’t get what this Franchise is doing anymore?? Golden Tate is a good WR, but not for that type of money and if they are rebuilding?! Golden Tate is no spring chicken, he is nearing the end of his career?! It just doesn’t make sense. Why invest in this player? I don’t like this signing imo.
We're not finished @ WR - if we don't draft or sign any big bodies to play outside, I'll be very surprised.
But - I know we need to go one move, by knee-jerk move here and go nuts over each one as if this is the final piece for the offseason.
There simply doesn't seem to be much in the way of coherence or reason to these moves. It's not just BBI loose cannons saying that, it's most of the football world saying it.

They might add that downfield threat in the draft. I think the Giants are going WR with either the 17th overall pick or their 2nd or 3rd rounder.
I agree with you that the signing is a curious move, but they absolutely do need receivers. Shep is a #3 and the rest of the WRs on the roster are nonentities.
is that he is 30 and he really tailed off end of last year.
First 4 games of the year - 7 catches per game, 97 yards per game.
Last 11 games of the year - 4 catches per game, 37 yards per game.
Now maybe part of that was going to a new system in Philly mid-year, but that's very concerning.
It’s going to Philly and a new system. The Lions moved him due to salary cap issues, not because of his talent . Their passing game was not the same when he left.
This has been one of the most confusing offseasons I've ever seen Â
but it seems like a lot of people here know nothing about Golden Tate. He’s a very good player who was badly misused in Philly and never quite integrated into the offense. He was on pace for another big year with Detroit before the deal.
The confusion is because our two best receivers both play the slot. Shepard has shown he is not effective on the outside, and signing a 30 year old slot receiver to play a new position seems like an odd choice.
It's not a bad move so much as it is a confusing move.
I was worried for a second that he wasn't going to like this move.
LOL
Somebody's got to counter balance the negativity. This is Saquons team now with a revamped OL and a system that relies on PA. DG doesnt ascribe to the basketball on grass analogy of Marc Ross.
Tate isnt OBJ but he is a reliable performer and isnt some scrap heap guy (like a bunch of the guys we trotted out in the secondary last year).
Wow Tate and Beckham will be quite the dual threat Â
we don't know what the draft will bring. If the Giants draft say Metcalf at 17 it makes more sense. We really are short another WR.Tate is a good get but give it time to short out.
This is some fucked up mixture of rebuilding and competing. It's like we're competing to get the 10th pick in the Draft, or something.
im speechless. This team has no direction. They want to compete while rebuilding. SO throw $$$ at an aging declining slot WR when we already have one whos younger in Shep??
All to give it one more shot with Eli? This is insanity..3 straight years of this sh*t.
We can afford almost anyone we want. The path is still through the draft
+1.. Backup lineman get 9m a season lately, get over it. This is a good signing for a few years, has zero impact on Shepard (who is an excellent blocker, but his hands are not great, neither is his separation).
We need defensive players. We just dropped a big chunk that should be going to some young talent on defense. Not a limited 30+ year WR.
We don't need WR's? Shepard has proven that he isn't a #1 receive. Before this signing Corey Coleman and Jawill Davis were the #2 and #3 WR's. We had the worst WR core in football. How is that not a need?
It does seem like Gettleman is bringing in gamer/culture players which we do need.
Who's playing on the outside?
Corey Coleman. Cody Lattimer. Corey Feldman.

I'm guessing it was sarcasm grounded in people's whining about Beckham. I think?

Who the hell taught you math? He had 74 receptions last year and a salary of $7 million.
As to his stats:
2018 - 74/795
2017 - 92/1,003
I'd hardly call those (especially 2017) "shit"
First 4 games of the year - 7 catches per game, 97 yards per game.
