Did he pass the team doctors tests? If so, what did the independent doctor find that the team doctor didn't discover.

Umm not so sure about this statement Harvin had 3 key first downs and his presence may have increased the production for the whole offense since they had to account for his play making abilities.
We scored 16 points in the first half, 7 in the 2nd half which required an INSANELY good play by Baldwin. If our offense was like how it was without Harvin in the first half of the game we could have very easily lost the game 14 points vs Saints 15 points. Plus if Harvin didn't provide that spark and get our drives going while producing clutch 1st downs we would have given up the ball a lot faster. It's very conceivable the Saints would have scored in the first half without Harvin helping us keep the ball offensively.
I'd like to think we would have won that game without Harvin, but other than his impact in the 1st half it's not a statement I could make with any confidence.
And we need Harvin about 10 times more against the 49ers than we did vs Saints.
Harvin has done some things in his limited action, but using 1st half stats vs 2nd half stats against the Saints are useless. We were playing ball control once we got the lead. It's pure speculation to say we wouldn't have done the same with Harvin out there.
This isn't a doomsday thread I still think we'll win barely, but it's going to be very difficult and we better hope Kaepernick turns the ball over.
Actually I saw an article about Wes Welker wearing a newly designed helmet specifically for that.Tokadub":15ai77ge said:And what exactly is the concussion protocol some guy looks in his eyes with a little flashlight and waves his finger and says he can't play after scribbling some notes down?
Percy isn't exactly the most articulate dude to begin with, I just am not sure how you can accurately assess this kind of thing.
Maybe the NFL needs to like spend a tiny portion of their mega billions to design a better helmet... this is just bologna. I read or saw some studies that showed the new NFL helmets are about as effective to protect the brain as the leather ones were.
Article titled:
NFL offering millions for helmet innovations. LOL why don't they fund their own projects to do this instead of trying to make other people figure it out for them?

This just seems shady to me they aren't gonna let him play in such an important game, kinda expecting the refs to try to make us lose too now.
Come on... Grow up
:13:
The conspiracy theorists out in full force... Wow.
