Percy Harvin ties franchise record

Post by dead_poet »

Harvin is tied for the most receptions through 8 games in franchise history with Cris Carter, who caught 60 in 1994 #Vikings

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. :rock:

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). :)

Harvin is averaging 11.1 ypc but all his catches are less than 10 yards?

Interesting math you have there. :D

Yes, of course. Cause Wes Welker sucks because he only catches short passes. :wink:

And to make matters worse, Welker actually is short. He should be banned from the league! :D

Harvin is only 5'11". He should at least be suspended.

Now you understand. Receivers can only be effective if they are 6'2" or taller and catch the ball at LEAST 10 yards down field.

:roll:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/9286/career
11.1 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/career
5.8 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!
