Hard to say... he had another receiver out there on the same side who was also covered.

Okay not exactly 20 and the list was tough lol but point being I love Harvin, I just don't think he's even remotely close to being the best offensive weapon out there.
I disagree on like half those. Okay not half. But I'd take Harvin over the headcases Marshall and Dez, and I'll also take him over Jennings. And Miles Austin? Really? You seriously think he's better than Percy? You need to rethink the way you watch this game if you'd take Austin over Percy. Andre is never healthy.

Whatever. Point is, I totally disagree with this list.

On that particular play Ponder was flushed to the short side of the field (because Johnson got beat) and no one was open. Scrambling on that play looked to be the right call.

Can't we call a play action on first down? With the way we're running so far, I feel like it'd almost definitely work!
