Doesn't make any other sense why the Seahawks would get rid of him. They are short on offensive playmakers and they get rid of their only big play threat on offense for a draft pick. The Seahawks should be in win now mode but are making a move that on the surface appears to only have an eye on the future. Doesn't make much sense for the Jets either who are in shambles this year. They should be looking towards the future and have no shot at the playoffs this year. Instead they are making what looks like a desperation move.Harvin only played 59.5 percent of Seattle's snaps this year -- nearly 30 percent less than both Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse
There is the answer. Harvin probably asked/forced the trade. Playing 30 percent less than both of them?
That's precisely how I see it.This looks like a bad trade for both teams. Rare to see that.
Yep. He's nothing more than a gimmick WR who is not capable of being a reliable everydown WR.The Jets are 1-6. WTF are they thinking making a trade like this? They need all the draft picks they can get, not to throw them away on luxury gimmicky WR/STers.
J. E. T. S. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
So wait, a speedy playmaker and a physical football team are incompatible?Warren Moon, who apparently is close to the Seahawk organization, was basically saying it was a chemistry issue. In other words, he didn't fit and his presence on the roster took them away from what they did, which is play physical football. I can see that. There also apparently was some concern about his anger issues.
It is admirable they can move on from a mistake, but jeez, they got what...a couple of touchdowns out of millions of dollars?
A highly paid playmaker who doesn't block could be pretty damn incompatible.So wait, a speedy playmaker and a physical football team are incompatible?
Like I said, outside of generic screens and that jet sweep crap, Bevell didn't know what to do with this guy. Not to mention, this was in a lot of ways his first season up there.
I mean, lack of effort on things like blocking are one thing, if that was indeed an issue. But I just don't believe that something changed in the player from his reasonably productive Minnesota years to Seattle. I'm not saying that this guy was the glue of that lockerroom or anything, but to shit-can a player you gave up a 1st and 3rd for after essentially six games is just strange to me.A highly paid playmaker who doesn't block could be pretty damn incompatible.
I also think he threw a big time hissy fit when he got those TDs all overturned by penalty against the Redskins. I bet he went apeshit.
They paid millions to Matt Flynn.but to shit-can a player you gave up a 1st and 3rd for after essentially six games is just strange to me.
I agree. I think this hurts them tremendously. They have crap at WR without Harvin.The Seahawks underrated having legit WRs. Bal had Boldin, Green Bay had Nelson, Giants had Nicks/Cruz...and then you have other great teams of this era that have had Wayne, Thomas, Fitz, Moss, etc. Now you can win with a dominant run game, but Seattle seems content letting Wilson scramble around and overlooking Lynch, Turbin, and even Michael. They bought into their hype and now think they can outsmart everyone with intricate screens and misdirection, when they should just line up and pound it.
The guy already has attitude/anger issues. That should help.If the Jets are smart, they'll pull a Jimmeh and hardly play the guy in what is already a lost season, and only give up a fourth. In my opinion, Harvin is worth that.
