Harvin or Patterson, who would you take?

[HornedMessiah]

I'm surprised some people would prefer Harvin, considering all the extra baggage. Patterson has already shown that he's equal to or better than Percy. CP84 all the way

[Reignman]

Patterson by far. I won't knock Harvin for the migraines because I get migraines too and I can't do anything when I get one, not even sleep. It's inescapable torture. Plus Harvin was injured a lot due to his more violent style of play. But not only does Patterson seem to be a better athlete, he has a better attitude as well. He has Harvins ability to run after a catch, but has the speed to go deep, and the size to win jump balls too. If he gets the drops under control, he's going to be a nightmare for defenses. So right now Harvin only has an edge in the hands department.

Code: Select all

               ret-yards  avg td long
2009 Harvin     42-1156  27.5  2  101
2010 Harvin     40-933   23.3  1   95
2011 Harvin     16-520   32.5  1  104
2012 Harvin     16-574   35.9  1  105

2013 Patterson  43-1393  32.4  2  109

Patterson averaged nearly 5 more yards per return than Harvin in their rookie year. And I don't remember opponents going out of their way to kick the ball away from Harvin on kick returns the way they did with Patterson this year. They were genuinely terrified of kicking to Patterson.

CP for sure.

He's at least as good of a runner if not better. I do think Harvin is still a better receiver but CP is young and did show a lot of improvement this year in that area.

CP is also not as injury prone (knock on wood) and hasn't shown any attitude issues to this point.

Oh, and don't look now but Harvin is injured AGAIN.

[headless_norseman]

Harvin injury prone? It looks like he just got nailed hard enough for a concussion.

[Orion]

Wow I can't believe Seattle shut the Saints out the first half, very impressive.

[SkyFire]

Harvin out for remainder of the game with a concussion.

I feel bad for the guy...

[Purple bruise]

Seattle's owner is probably not so sure of making that trade now after a whole season of Prissy Harvin , I mean Percy Harvin.

Good Riddance

[Purple bruise]

First of all, why is it one or the other? The only situation that would've been is if they were both UFA's and only wanted to pay one. Might've been nice to have both had we kept Percy. btw, his primary issue with the Vikings was their insistence on starting Christian Ponder, which has since become the unanimous consent of everybody in the Viking kingdom except Mothman The other reason I don't like the comparison is they are different players that offer different gifts. Each is talented in their own way. Percy can make a garbage QB look average to good, and Cordarrelle can make an average QB look very good.

Unfortunately Percy is gone, and I hope he gets to play, win, and shine like we all know he can in the Super Bowl, but he's gone. I think Patterson has monster potential and I love him with the Vikings. So at the end of the day I think both guys will have great careers, so everybody wins!

It is not that difficult of a question, who would you take if you had a a choice Harvin or Patterson?

I like how some people who were all about keeping Harvin, not making a trade, guy isn't injury prone, less than a year later? Good riddance.
A toe to sew...a f'ing toe to sew....

Because a good little skoldier wanted to blow all over the Viking's horn.

Yeah PH was a talentless nobody. That's why Seattle paid so much for him. And ofc, they don't know talent. Good riddance indeed! Your hatred for PH cracks me up.

Percy Harvin will not play Sunday What a
Pro Football Talk | Jan 17
Percy Harvin will not play in the NFC Championship Game.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll confirmed that Harvin is out on Sunday against the 49ers after suffering a concussion last week against the Saints. The announcement comes as no surprise: Harvin had missed practice all week, and from all indications he wasn’t going to be able to make it through the NFL’s concussion protocol.
