Comments on: Just Say “No” To Percy Harvin

Wait a second now…Percy Harvin is a “problem child” because he’s bitching about his contract? Vincent Jackson held out half a season because he didn’t like his contract in San Diego!

He has also been unfairly labeled as “injury prone”…Harvin has played in 14 or more games in three out of his four seasons (with 9 games in 2012 being the exception)…Has he had headache issues…sure, but that has rarely kept him off the field and some have said that the lights in the dome make it more difficult for him.

I’m not saying to go out and grab Percy Harvin…because you’re going to have to pay him big bucks…but he is one of the best offensive players in the NFL. Wes Welker couldn’t hold Percy Harvin’s jock. Jackson, Harvin, and Williams would make up a receiving corps for the ages…one of the most talented trios EVER. We’ve got all this money to spend and apparently (and curiously) no desire to spend it on anyone…but anyone who thinks that he isn’t worth a big contract…or is too much of a risk in the locker room, has no idea what they’re talking about. This would instantly become the most dangerous offense in the NFL and if Freeman didn’t step it up big time this year…you could draft someone next year and they’d be handed a golden opportunity.

And now I’ve just convinced myself. Screw it, if you can get Harvin for a 2nd and 4th round pick…and restructure his deal and give him $10 million a season…Do it.

Or…let a smart team like the Patriots pull the trigger on this deal and make everyone else look stupid.

Harvin is a diva receiver who will have a short NFL career due to his antics not his play. When he is able to play. His contract should have a provision starts vs “migraines”.

Tyvon Austin would be a great pick up! and would fit exactly all those needs!

Pay Wallace and move M Williams all over the field! Best WR corps in the league if that happens.

@ 4everbucsfan

Thanks, that cleared it up. but even if his value did diminish from not being able to return punts I still think he could have helped out in the slot. O well, I guess the want a more well rounded player at that position.

Preston Parker, this is the explanation I got.

What ever happened to Preston Parker? I thought he was a pretty good slot receiver. why did we ever let him go? he could have really helped us out. at least he didn’t drop every pass like high top and he was sharp on third down.

I will say this though, when your third leading receiver behind Mike and V.J. is a running back… there’s a problem with the slot and/or TE position. Its a glaring hole that definitely needs to be addressed immediately.

Fatmosh:

Does anyone else think we should make a run at Danny Amendola if he’s available?

Very good idea, but as you stated, wouldn’t throw much cash at him because he can’t stay healthy.

If he was healthy, wow, good pick up.

^^^^^^ That must be a horrible way to live. I feel for the guy. To have something routinely devastate you and theres nothing you can do about it is terrible.

Just to educate a few of you, try playing football with a feeling of a knife sticking in your brain, vertigo where you can’t walk straight, nausea where you are throwing up like you drank until you blacked out the night before, where your eyes don’t track normally, where you can’t keep your eyes open in bright lights, and sounds and smells are magnified about 5 times making you ever sicker. And there is no 100% treatment. That is what Harvin had, last time I heard. You can try to avoid triggers, but sometimes things like weather changes and barometric pressure can trigger it, smells, or lights. It is more of a “storm on your brain” neurologically, than a headache.

And BTW, some people in normal jobs get SS disability because of the impact it has on their jobs. Now Harvin does have the best medical care in the country….but there is no known “cure” just “control”. Some do get better over time, but they really don’t know why one way or the other.

Too much ignorance here. You guys think a migraine is a headache? You have no idea. Joe is right. I like Harvin, but you guys complain that Talib can’t be counted to be in the big game….Harvin is in exactly the same situation, though it isn’t his fault. It is just reality. Glad many of you “headache” guys have absolutely no decision making power in this process. If you ever see Harvin, ask him why he can’t play through his headaches. He would probably like to break your nose or more so if you stated such stupidity.
