I said the day we signed Harvin I wasn't happy with it. I won't go into my loooooong laundry list of reasons why, that would be redundant, but I would love to win the championship without Harvin. Should he come in and score some TDs, or set up a D so others can, yes I will be happy, but I will never be happy that he's a Hawk. I've taken a constant bashing for my perspective on all things Harvin...and couldn't care less.
Unlike a large portion of this fan base, I am a sports purist. I love sports for the stories of guys like Coleman, Turbin and even frikin' Tebow. Guys long on heart, even if short on talent. No, I'm not the Ruskell fan that would dump a player for a DUI, I understand the league is vast and it takes all kinds, but a guy like Harvin, who made things so uncomfortable for his school, then for a team generous enough to use a 1st rd pick on him, only to conduct himself like a cancer? I have no tolerance for that.
I just can't see rewarding this type with millions of dollars and constant, undeserved admiration. If he were my little brother, I would slap the piss out of him. The good news for me, not so much for (some of) you? After following his entire career, college and pro, Percy Harvin will never disappoint me. I know who and what he is. Don't let the smile fool ya'.
Can he turn it around? Well, he's young enough. Tebow was too much of a freak to have a positive effect on Harvin. Selecting Randy Moss to be his mentor was a terrible move @ Minn.... And Harvin is one of the reasons the Vikes got rid of Moss. They saw him poisoning Harvin's head. I sincerely hope Russell Wilson can work his magic with Harvin. . In the interim, I just hope Princess Percy does nothing to harm the chemistry of this team.
