Now's the time Percy

I bet our 1st round pick would have made an appearance in more than 1 game.

You can bet on it, but you are unable to guarantee it.

Yeah, because barely any 1st round picks ever play more than 1 game their rookie year.

Incredibly disappointed in the 12th man and their lack of support for a player that is injured. I thought people were much better than this and since joining this forum I have been introduced to how fickle this fan base really is. Never have I seen so many chicken little's in one spot.

He's injured....thats not his fault, he's trying to get back. Yet I see people calling him a "bum", "piece of crap", etc. Being objective or even critical is ok and understandable.... but injuries are a different story.

I think its fair to wonder based on his history. My personal opinion is that its just bad luck and he really has done everything possible to play. But I can't fault anyone for disagreeing with me. Chancellor seemed to play with a very similar injury last year and as far as I can tell its a pain tolerence thing not really a re-injruy risk issue. If thats the case he has to suit up for the playoffs and offer something and grind it out....and I think he will. Its sad but his reputation in Minnesota hurts him hear and thats either earned or it isnt. I hope he proves everyone wrong real quick. I think we need him to.

So what you are saying is you are unable to guarantee it?

I would be tickled pink if this were to happen....but in light of Pete's comments today it's looking highly unlikely. Pure speculation, but it appears he's heading to IR soon.

 

[Ozzy]

Thats very possible. I just have a gut feeling that he appears come playoff time. I didn't hear todays comments though lol. Did he say it on the brock and danny show?

I'm at the in-laws right now so I've been staying away from anything with audio. But here's what's on nfl.com's front page.

3rd and 4th paragraphs.

Well if they IR Percy, they will not have to cut anyone to make room for the return of Walter Thurmond.

e.g. David DeCastro

A player I wanted to badly a couple years ago

All that was said was...

Q: At some point are you going to have to make a decision to IR Harvin?

A: (he shrugged) "that may happen"

 

[hawks4thewin]

I just don't really care about percy any more. I don't even know what to think.
So many theories. I just don't know....

Really the blame should not go on Percy but rather Schneider and Carroll for making a blunder of a move. I agree Percy cannot control his own injuries and the ensuing rehab process. This was simply a risky move that was miscalculated by the front office. For as much as Schneider and Carroll should be applauded for picking guys like Sherm, Kam, and Baldwin, they need to be held accountable for poor decisions like Harvin.

Rotoworld says it appears "very unlikely" that we'll have Harvin in the postseason.

Our team will live or die based on our o-line folks. It's that simple. Period.

Agree to disagree.

Harvin was paid under the assumption of health. He came here talking about wanting to win. Then he got paid and decided to have a season ending surgery. There's no way Schneider and Carroll could have foreseen that. You can't blame them.

The only thing that bothered me was the reports out there about Harvin quitting on his team last season, refusing to play under the same circumstances. Many Vikings fans said this would happen and it did. We should pay attention to that. But honestly, if Carroll was the type to listen to everyone else, we wouldn't have Sherman, Wilson, Chancellor, Lynch and other core members of the team.

Overall though, screw Harvin. He got paid and he quit. He never cared about this team and never intended to play. Cut him.

I agree. I don't want him on this team. He's never on the sideline/bench anyways so it's like he doesn't even play for the team.

He got his pay day and that's all there is to it. Thanks for nothing, Harvin. Only played on the Vikings game too for whatever reason. This whole situation with him is a joke.

"Assumptions of health" should never ever be occurring when signing or drafting players, especially if you're forking out $25 million and draft picks. If you're implying that Harvin duped our front office somehow regarding his health then good for him. It's not his job to make sure that we are getting a player that is not injury prone, it's the front office's responsibility. As much as I am frustrated personally with Harvin, this debacle ultimately falls on their shoulders.

I don't know what to think about the Harvin situation beyond my opinion that the organization is treating it like the Rodgers situation. He could play but they deemed the reward not worth the risk given all the other factors in play.
