DrJuice1980 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 That KO return was more blown assignments than anything else. There were about 3-4 open lanes to take it the distance. Great athlete, great speed. That return happened more for poor coverage than athletic ability. The cover team saw the bounce and gave up assignment. His explosiveness was seen clearly because nobody was around him. Just like those sweeps, Robert Ayers got sucked in (multiple times) and there was no containment. LBs were late not because of speed (until after 8+yrds were already gained) they were late because Seattle was well prepared and Denver was asleep at the wheel.Great athlete but the plays happened for a reason and those reasons were more blown assignments than athletic play. I didnt see Harvin leave any defenders jocks on the field. I saw him leave a few in the dust because he wasnt contested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Athletes like him make it look easy thats why you didnt see him blowing off any ones jocks. He is a great athlete and the Vikings need someone like that on the field. Too bad he wasnt on it most of the time because of his glass body. I wonder what he is doing for his migranes? Is Pot legal in Seatle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave2 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 You guys are all hilarious. Look at the facts. In the 4 years Percy Harvin played for the Vikings he played in 54 games. In the same period of time Adrian Pederson played in 58 games. Does 1 more game per year make AP an iron man or is he Mr. Glass too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 In some peoples eyes, yes.AP carried the ball many more times then Harvin did if you look at it game by game.That being said, Harvin is a great player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner55 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I have to mostly agree with Northlander here but BD2 & minky make a good point too.I think his biggest problem with the Vikings was in the locker room & mainly with the coaches(LF).I wouldn't be surprised to see a picture of him standing in line for some of the newly legalized meds for his migraines either.;)Wouldn't be surprised to see him trouble with the law out there during the offseason either.

Bowfin Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Bottom line is from here on out Seattle has Harvin and, as a result, the Vikes have Patterson. Regardless of the past, I would take Patterson from here on out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Patterson is a great player and should stand the test of time.The viking have some work to do, mainly getting a good qb but some of the other key players are already in place.

flipper Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Is Pot legal in Seatle? I suggest finding out what kind he is smoking and getting some of it for all the Viqueens players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Percy's ONLY problem was having Ponder as his QB...it gave him the migraines and made him be a beotch to the coaching staff.Turns out Percy was right about Ponder.....

minky Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes, it does look like ponder was not the answer to our qb problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGURU Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Can't really blame Percy for not wanting to stick around this disfunctional organization, especially with the coaches and QB's he had around him. His dream came true, he barely had to play, got a fat check, and is a Superbowl Champion. I liked him while he was here, but I'd take Patterson over him. Patterson has a bright future and if he builds off this year he's gonna be a wrecking ball. Hopefully we get a franchise QB around here for once instead of this merry go round of wannabes.

JP Z Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I would def. take Patterson over the headcase that was Harvin. But heck, Harvin is a heck of a ball player......when healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
