Golden Tate: "I didn't come here to lose."

LawrenceTaylor56 : 10/22/2019 12:57 pm
Quote:
Tate has seen 20 targets, leading to 12 receptions for 182 yards and one touchdown. However, the Giants have done nothing but lose, going 0-3 since Tate’s return.

Much like the lacking targets early on, that is also not sitting well with the veteran.

“I didn’t come here to lose, I came here to help get things turned around and help us win a bunch of games,” Tate told reporters on Monday.

Or Get Separation.. - ( New Window )
Well he should have done some research before he signed  
Go Terps : 10/22/2019 12:59 pm : link
Did he meet Gettleman and Shurmur? If he signed after talking to them, then he has himself to blame.
You came here to get paid  
GiantsRage2007 : 10/22/2019 12:59 pm : link
Like all other Free Agents who sign anywhere

Exactly. Jenkins and Tate will become problems over the next few weeks, if they're not dealt.
This guy sure does talk alot  
Dave in Hoboken : 10/22/2019 1:01 pm : link
for a guy who's done nothing here and got suspended for the first 4 games of the year like a moron. Just shut the fuck up already. No one cares about you here.

What's wrong with Tate's statement...?  
BamaBlue : 10/22/2019 1:09 pm : link
The guy hates losing. That's a concept I wish the defense and offensive line would think about more...
Still pissed with his alligator  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/22/2019 1:10 pm : link
arms on the first drive Sunday.
Not sure what he should have said...  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 10/22/2019 1:16 pm : link
He is interviewed and gives a fairly upbeat interview about what they hope to accomplish and how close they are to turning it around. You want players with that attitude. Of course, they still have to do it, but seems like a reasonable thing to think and try and do.
Peter, look at all the rest of threads

BleedBlue : 10/22/2019 1:30 pm : link
To ovwrreact and say all kinda of dumb comments about DG and malcontents. This is a common statement. What else did you want him to say ? You want guys saying yes I'm fine with losing? You're a loser if you accept losing. Work hard and try and turn things around. Not shocked he said that..I think we are all tired of losing football

That's how I see it too.

We need more guys like that and not your Ereck Flowers who care as long as they get a paycheck.

The fact that his attempt to catch a ball in the beginning of the game last week says otherwise.
did anyone read his full comments?  
UConn4523 : 10/22/2019 1:38 pm : link
this isn't newsworthy.
no problem with this statement..  
2cents : 10/22/2019 1:41 pm : link
but now that were on the topic, I feel like Tate has dropped a few contested catches that could have helped flip that script. would like to see more from him.
If anyone bothered...  
Chris in Philly : 10/22/2019 1:42 pm : link
to read everything he said, you would realize he didn't say anything wrong. But hey, headlines.

LOL

This isn't even relevant here and yet you continue with the same boring Gettleman jokes. Get some new material!
Well then, welcome to the magical mystery tour!  
TC : 10/22/2019 2:04 pm : link
This team needs proper motivation. Someone like Harry Carson or George Martin in their prime to have a nice little locker room "chat!"

"Looking back at that film, . . . .

Your right. This is exactly what I would want someone we signed to say.

“I still believe that we can [win], we just need to be a little bit better. Looking back at that film, I don’t think it was as bad as I thought it was. I think there are some things we definitely. . . one guy does one thing a little bit better, that could be a big play,” Tate said. “Looking at it, I don’t think we’re light years away from being a really, really, good team. I just think we’re a few plays. Just do a few things a little bit better, and I think we’re in a better situation late in the game.”

Agreed, I like his game but he has to shut up
He didn't say anything wrong,  
Dave in Hoboken : 10/22/2019 2:22 pm : link
but when you say "I didn't come here to lose" and you as a WR consistently struggle to get separation; it's just kind of ironic.

That doesn't even include his 4 game suspension at the start of the season.
In reality, unfortunately  
Mike from SI : 10/22/2019 2:39 pm : link
he did come here to lose. Gonna be lots a losing!
RE: Still pissed with his alligator  
Rong5611 : 10/22/2019 2:51 pm : link
Yeah, but I think he redeemed himself after the alligator arm moment. He took some shots later in the game and made some touch catches.

He wants to win. Makes sense to me.

What else would we want him to say?

For cheating.
There's nothing wrong with what he said  
jcn56 : 10/22/2019 2:58 pm : link
I'm not a fan of the signing - I thought the skillset was too similar to Shepard and he was overpaid - but that doesn't mean I'm going to beat him up over an innocuous statement.
Nothing wrong at all  
BigBluesman : 10/22/2019 3:19 pm : link
with the comments. It's just how the writer framed it. BS. I do think he was a dumbass for his suspension though.
Hard to help the team  
Knineteen : 10/22/2019 3:24 pm : link
when he sits on the bench for 4 games.
Guy is performing on the field so far.  
TMS : 10/22/2019 3:54 pm : link
Who are we to knock that? Like his attitude if he keeps performing and stays out of the headlines. Good attitude for our young team IMO.

I guess you are blind to the fact that you're doing the same thing on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I honestly don't know why I would continue to waste time at a place if I was so disenfranchised with something.
They he shouldn’t have come here

I applaud him, would hope there are more like him

People so rarely read the full quotes - the thread titles are always what they read and react to.

Really nothing wrong with what he said here. At least the guy has been reasonably productive since being activated. Golden Tate is the least of the Giants' concerns right now.

I started a thread a while ago asking what pleasure you get being a Giants fan. This Go Terps guy? I got nothing.
Tate certainly made another business decision

That perspective makes me fear that he'll soon be suspended for failing a drug test.
You came to the wrong place ...
