How much would a healthy Percy have helped?

[seabowl]

IMO if Percy was healthy and played in this game we definitely win. He needs to get healthy already or else we could lose a game like this in the playoffs.

 

[Russ Willstrong]

Hey Percival. If you are listening I have a half decent hip I will sell you for 10 million bucks.

 

[kf3339]

It's not his hip. It's his mind. Plenty of players play with nagging injuries and pain. Walter Jones played nearly his whole career in pain and yet you didn't see him standing on the side lines. He sucked it up and played. Harvin needs to do the same thing.

 

[drdiags]

The problem is the *IF*. I doubt he plays next week and I suspect KJ Wright has a better chance of playing in the playoffs.

 

[MidwestHawker]

Would have surely helped. But at this point we have to prepare to live in a world where he just doesn't make a significant contribution to our team this season.

 

[TwistedHusky]

He would have to be a football player to help us.

Football players can play hurt.

P***y Harvin is a guy that can run fast but will also get injured from anything. A baby rabbit breaking wind. The stern glance of a cross butterfly. The gentle laugh of a 3 year old on Christmas morning. A blade of grass bending, ever so slightly, in the afternoon breeze.

I think we are well past the days of counting on Harvin, or even hoping, and instead more into the phase of ridiculing and denigrating.

There's a phase in between those two things. It's where the enlightened people are hanging out.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

I guess we will never know the answer given he didn't play and I am done with worrying about a "when" or "if" I don't control. He plays when he plays and we deal I guess. Even if I don't like it. It is what it is.

 

[brimsalabim]

He only needed to help 7 points worth.... in any loss this season.

 

[Mtjhoyas]

What's a "healthy Percy Harvin?" Is that like a unicorn?

serenity?

 

[TwistedHusky]

No. The phrase he is probably referring to is "Hope Without Reason."

You could probably replace it with irrational optimism. Either works.

Of course Harvin not contributing probably did less damage than Bevell contributing. So there is that.

 

[James in PA]

Our receivers were disappointing today. They just were not coming down with catches that they normally make. Harvin could have been the difference. He needs to play next week. Period.

 

[HAWKN'83]

My perspective, we're saving him, period!

Nah, it's neither. It's shrugging acceptance that he probably won't do much for us this year, but that it's not the end of the world and that it doesn't somehow mean that our entire acquisition of him is a huge bust. It's been a disappointing year, but the whole story is far from written.

I do find it funny that you're speaking about rationality as if it's something you subscribe to while simultaneously suggesting in another thread that past failures by the Sonics and Mariners are somehow tied in to why the Seahawks might end up crapping out this year too. Ain't nothing rational about that.

 

[Seaswab]

He would have helped big time but he played against his former team so hes happy

 

[TwistedHusky]

"My perspective, we're saving him, period!"

Well if he is on his period that would explain holding him out.

 

[Dreo]

It's not his hip. It's his mind. Plenty of players play with nagging injuries and pain. Walter Jones played nearly his whole career in pain and yet you didn't see him standing on the side lines. He sucked it up and played. Harvin needs to do the same thing.

Thank you, Doctor.

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

At least this silliness is helping me forget about the abominable performance we gave today.

Locking this due to repetitive nature of all Harvin would have should have could haves. Pick a thread and it's the same stuff.
