It's just he returned a kickoff for a TD in a situation where it didn't end up having a difference in the game. He had 50 yards of offense. I realize he is being eased back into the lineup, but I find it very difficult to start making assumptions about him living up to his contract and the picks the Seahawks gave up after one game. <br /><br />I think Harvin, if healthy, will make a big impact for the Seahawks next year. He's gotta be healthy though. <br /><br />I have never thought about the use of all-purpose yards when comparing KR and YFS. I've noticed Peter does compare YFS a lot.

Don't get me wrong, an 87 yard kick return is incredibly impressive, but KR yards are different in character from YFS, especially in that a decent KR has about 20 automatic yards on every attempt. This is the issue with when Peter tried to compare Darren Sproles to other backs that don't have return duties. Harvin is definitely an electrifying player, but he doesn't sound nearly as awesome when you mention that his night (from scrimmage) was summed up as:<br /><br />2 rushes: 45 yards<br />1 reception: 5 yards (2 targets)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07920409452469693809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-62193509076920286792014-02-05T08:16:35.740-05:002014-02-05T08:16:35.740-05:00Anon, I agree with you.

The fact Hopkins/Patterson were there for them to select is pure hindsight of course, but I think it speaks to the fact teams can find talent in the draft at the wide receiver position. <br /><br />Percy Harvin is a game-changing player, there is no doubt about that, but he's also had some injury issue and he was expensive. You know what, if an NFC team wants to spend cap room on expensive players, that's fine by me. My concern with Harvin is the headaches and his hip injury. He certainly looked healthy in the Super Bowl.

Seattle will probably have to sacrifice Cliff Avril and/or Michael Bennett because of that foolish trade. Cordarrelle Patterson or DeAndre Hopkins would have been a very nice pick for Seattle, and they would have saved a lot of money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
