I have no problems with Percy. If we (and by we, I mean Pete), didn't know he was a snake when we picked him up, we should have. Maybe it was the fear he would go to SF.
I will likely start another mini-war with this, but that is exactly the way it went down, Scott. The information was everywhere well before we signed Harvin. I knew about Harvin (and posted that info here) so how could JS, hired by the wealthiest man in football, not know?
And that a large reason I have been so pissed with this whole deal. Take this with a grain (all) but I definitely believe SF hoodwinked us. I have friends close to the Vikes. I know with all certainty the Vikes kept Harvin benched after the Frazier incident, well after the ankle was healed, because they feared another misstep and they wouldn't be able to get a 2nd for him.
That's all they wanted for Harvin: a 2nd rd pick. And when you see what we got for him, that shouldn't be hard to believe. But then SF stepped in and blew the price up on us. They already had a head case in Crabtree (though mild in comparison) and they knew they were getting Boldin (how could they not?). I understand Pete, the mad professor wanting Harvin, but JS should have shut his ass down and identified that we were being duped by the enemy. 2 enemies, actually. The way this unfolded is just unbelievable to me...even now.
