 Percy Harvin ties franchise record
Quote: Harvin is tied for the most receptions through 8 games in franchise history with Cris Carter, who caught 60 in 1994 #Vikings @Vikingsfootball on Twitter

 Re: Percy Harvin ties franchise record
Very cool. I hope Harvin's second half of the season is even better than the first half. The Vikings are fortunate to have a playmaker like Percy.

 Re: Percy Harvin ties franchise record
Excellent! Here's hoping the second half of the season will be even more productive for Harvin (and that it will include at least a few breakaway TDs).

Yes, of course. Cause Wes Welker sucks because he only catches short passes.  And to make matters worse, Welker actually is short. He should be banned from the league! Harvin is only 5'11". He should at least be suspended.

Interesting math you have there.  http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/9286/career11.1 ypc 9 yac So his average catch is 2.1 yards. Welker 12.3 ypc 6.8 yac 5.5 yards downfield. More impressive that Carter managed it, considering how many of Harvin's receptions are behind the line of scrimmage gimmes. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/82/career5.8 yards downfield. There isn't anyone in the top 50 receivers close to the ratio Harvin is at. I know it doesn't matter he "tied the record" so wave the flags and start the parade. But he did it with 0 yard bubble screens and 1 yard quick hitters. More impressive he's top 5 receiving this season despite 540 of his 667 receiving yards coming after the catch!
