Harvin is a nice player, with a toolbox of skills. But lets not get carried away here, calling him the most dynamic WR in the game. He's not a deep threat, doesn't take short passes to the house. Wes Welker is better as a slot than is Harvin. Wright could slide into his slot, and be productive. Harvin is a 2 or 3 on a true conteder. Again I like Harvin, but lets calm down a bit.Purplemania wrote:We're trading away the most dynamic WR in the game today for....an unproven back up QB who's ceiling is probably Matt Shaub?
I like the QB idea better, than a WR, who is almost past his prime. Of course if I ran things, id pick up 2 QBs a year, til one turns star. Which goes a little againt my anti QB rant for MVP.J. Kapp 11 wrote: Fitzgerald is a good idea. I'd use Harvin as part of a trade for him in a minute.
Even though Fitzgerald will be 30 by the time the season starts, his talent and work ethic make him incredibly valuable even at that age. Not only is he among the best WRs in the game, he'd also bring veteran leadership and a workout-warrior mentality to the team (look at what Sidney Rice accomplished in '09 after spending one summer working out with Fitz). I also believe he'd be an excellent influence on someone like Jarius Wright.
Of course, Minneapolis isn't exactly the mecca of the desert. But it's home for Fitzgerald, and I have to believe he'd love to escape the purgatory of that awful franchise.
