In his limited snaps, he has looked like the unbelievable weapon that Pete and John thought he would be. The injury issue is tougher to forecast, so I have a hard time holding that against them.
On paper, this transaction is still better than handing a fat contract to guys like Mike Wallace or Greg Jennings. Even when healthy, they're not affecting the game in the same way that Harvin can.
Totally fair point...but at some point it has consistently happen on the field or the trade will go down as an all-time worst. Hopefully it starts in the superbowl.

I never expected it to play out this way on the other hand there were some red flags with Harvin and they were ignored.

Can't complain about Harvin himself, he took 2 vicious head shots and those bounces off the turf with the head are ones I've seen wreck a few guys this year. Just frustrating. And cements my rooting against the Saints from now on. No accident both our WRs get knocked loopy that game.
Well our passing offense is likely back to being able to help us mount 2, maybe 3 drives a game, and us being able to capitalize on short fields 1 time out of 5 (if we get short fields). We can win that way, but it's a lot scarier.
The Niners are run-stuffers with a secondary that can be had, I think our success rests on having a game plan that acknowledges this and skews just a bit more towards passing than it has of late. I have a bad feeling about a game plan that is essentially our "road game plan" which consists of running all game and then expecting Russell to save our bacon after spending all game afraid to throw the ball for fear of turnover.

This. I hated it since the first minute. Dude got paid like $250k per snap this year!

??? His brain should just nut up and not get a concussion after taking two shots - one of which received a fine - to the head?
It's a damn brain injury, cut the guy some slack.

We don't know if the trade was a bust. This year? Sure, but Harvin is going to be around this team a long time. If he shows week in and week out the same impact he showed flashes of in the Minn and playoff game vs NO, then he's worth it.
Time will tell. Let's not forget that we will have him back for the Superbowl (he'll start practicing next week).
