Dude is ballin and he would have been a better move than Harvin in that he would be playing for us right now and would cost us a lot less.

Didn't realize we had an Andre Johnson-caliber receiver on our team

Man, having seen Harvin suck, I am sure glad that....

Oh, right.

Hopkins is playing and winning games right now, what is harvin doing?

Not being responsible for running a route that caused a pick 6?

I mean, if you're going to extol the guy for catching a game-winning pass, you might as well excoriate him for screwing up earlier, too.

Hopkins would have been a good choice. But that doesn't mean I'm unhappy with Harvin. Yes, unhappy that he's not with us right now, but, last I saw, we are winning games without him, so, there you go.

Teams doing great and you're finding fault?

Why do people want to talk months later about something that can't be changed now, and most people aren't the least interested in?

How about at least letting it wait until you see Harvin play.

I'd rather have that extra-special weapon primed and ready to go for the playoffs. Hopkins, while good, and my choice top wr, is not a game-changer. Percy is.

With Okung going down, Harvin's return will be huge. There probably isn't a skill player in the league who would be better suited to help us in this particular situation. If he makes it back 100%, I'm feeling GREAT about this trade.

If there's one thing I hate, it's having to look up words that I read in a football forum. Thanks, ya dolt!

In the draft forum, he was my #1 ranked WR fwiw. I thought he was better than Austin.

Look, I would much rather have a healthy harvin than hopkins, Im merely pointing out that had we gone that route, we would be in better shape short term by having a guy that is adding value immdiatley AND next year when we have some serious choices to make in regards to cap space. I loved the move to get Harvin but so far it hasn't worked out for us.

And on no shortage of different teams' messageboards are fans saying they should have taken him. Hindsight is a hell of a drug. :)

I loved Hopkins.

But, until I see what Harvin can do, how can I say we should have kept the pick?

Because it's easier to jump the gun than it is to wait?
