Percy out

[seahawk12thman]

Why dont we just IR him then?

Exactamundo. If Pete & Co. was as sure as all you "glass half empty" guys, he'd be on IR and we'd have somebody else on the active roster. Injuries heal. That hip's not just sitting there doing nothing. I think we're gonna see him for the playoffs, healed or not. Shoot the damn thing up with painkiller and throw him out there. He's got the whole off-season to finish the healing. Either that, or cut him after the Super Bowl to free up salary cap so we can retain our core.

The only way I see that happening is if they play the Niners off the bye. I would sacrifice him to beat those guys.

More likely than not, Harvin's out for the year.

See my post above. IR'ing comes with ramifications, namely that he automatically earns an $11 million guarantee for 2014 if he ends the season on IR. For the sake of argument, let's say Pete and John are just fed up with the Percy situation. The thing to do would be to keep him on the active roster and then cut him as soon as the season ends. It doesn't help the cap much, but it gets him off the roster and saves the "company" $11 million.

When you put it like that, then it makes sense from the FO's point of view.

Deal with him this year and if it's a phenominal bust, then we can cut him with little ramifications (in respect to the overall contract). I see the out now.

 

[Missing_Clink]

If true...wow. God damn was that trade a whale of a mistake. The Seattle big name WR curse continues.

"That obviously means Harvin won't play in the regular season finale against the Rams. The Seahawks will aim to get a win and a first-round bye for the playoffs, and then hope for Harvin to play in the Divisional Round. Even that's not a guarantee. Carroll added he has "no idea" when Harvin will practice again".

Carroll has no idea when he will practice again, sounds like the Hip isn't responding at all. For him to already declare him out this week leads me to believe the hip has taken a turn for the worse. Hey I hope I am wrong... What is your analysis of this?

 

[HawkWow]

I am kinda curious where people get this notion he doesn't want to play. I didn't see a guy who didn't want to play against Minnesota. He had serious hip surgery and that can be career ending (Bo Jackson anybody). If Pete sensed that he wasn't a team player, he would have cut him already. He looked like a man possessed in the only game he played. I am frustrated as hell but what can you do?

You're not that curious. If you were, you'd google the subject and never again use the words Harvin and team player together again in the same paragraph.

Why would Pete cut Harvin? We're stuck with him for at least 2 years and he's already cashed the check. We cut him, then he magically gets better and signs with the 9ers? Granted, he would only play against us and Minnesota, but still.

Pete coveted Harvin since High school and signing Harvin was like doinking that hot chick from your chemistry class at the class reunion. It seemed like a good idea at the time, then you learned she gave you the clap, you gave it to the wife and now the whole family hates your guts. Way to go, Peter!

If Harvin was such a cancer then why did Peterson call him "The best all-around player I have ever seen". High praise for a malcontent that doesn't want to play. You must have little faith in Carroll to say that. I am sure he covered all angles before bringing him here. Anyways, I see this will end up getting ugly and the Seahawks depressed me enough this week. Merry Christmas everybody!!!!! :thirishdrinkers: :thirishdrinkers: :thirishdrinkers: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall:

 

[Reaneypark]

Complete waste of money.

 

[bigcc]

LOL@ anyone thinking he's faking it to get put on IR and have his money guaranteed.

If pete thought this was an issue why wouldn't he TELL percy the team isn't gonna IR him and eliminate that idea?

If he was capable of playing he would be, you guys are ridiculous.

.

How do you know he hasn't? If it actually came to that point, I doubt Pete would disclose it the media and I also doubt the player would ever be allowed to play for him again. It would be just as it is now -- vague statements to the media, player kept away from practicing with the team.

 

[TwistedHusky]

Percy is probably just a piece of crap.

And nobody likes to admit they mortgaged the farm for a chunk of festering sewage.

If he doesn't manage to play in a game that we need in order to save our slot for the division and to preserve homefield throughout the playoffs, well then he probably counts as a giant bust.

Personally, I consider him a thief and likely a fraud, but that is just how I am reading things.

 

[seahawk12thman]

Guys come on. You really think that if Percy was playing the front office that somebody in the media wouldn't have found out? Percy has an explosive personality and on more than one occasion expressed his feelings with the press and that does not stay bottled up. If Percy was not playing and collecting checks somebody from the Seahawks front office, seahawk players or Percy's camp would have leaked that information by now. This is silly, the man is injured. These rumors are innuendo and ridiculous.

I'm sure Percy thinks you are a p.o.s. as well. :th2thumbs:

You would think...except that the Seattle media is notoriously cowardly and unwilling to to ask the tough questions, outside of Geoff Baker. The seahawks beat writers / local radio personalities are far more concerned with being friends with the coaches and players than asking tough questions.

Example: recent interview of Unger on Wyman, Mike and Moore: after the interview, Jim says on the air essentially: "well you know the run game has struggled lately but we wouldn't ask Max about that." They sure did cover what kind if Christmas trees there are in Hawaii though.

 

[Happypuppy]

Perhaps just an impression but I believe PC is very frustrated with Harvin base on his body language. I would not be surprised if they have an injury out to consider releasing him off season.

 

[Missing_Clink]

Boldin just went over 1000 yards for the season. Got to say, the 49ers have made the Hawks look like absolute clowns this season when it comes to WR acquisitions. Meanwhile, no Seahawk WR has gone over 1000 yards since Engram in 2007...sigh.

 

[Seaswab]

What jermaine kearse doesnt excite you?

 

[Germanotta]

My only contention with Harvin's injury is that if he is still experiencing soreness then I find it highly unlikely that he was 100% healthy for the game against minny. Therefore, it seems like he rushed back earlier (3 months after surgery when it was expected to take 4-6 months) to just play his old team. This seems like a selfish act to rush back without being completely ready. I don't expect to see him the rest of the season.
