Percy Harvin feels that his situation in Seattle was bad because the other wide receivers felt threatened by him per this little article: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000506758/article/percy-harvin-seahawks-wideouts-viewed-me-as-threat.
Percy Harvin is also the proud owner of a career number of 11.5 yards per catch per Pro Football Reference: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarvPe00.htm
Having the pleasure of living in the Twin Cities, I am very familiar with the Percy Harvin playing style. Here goes. He is really fast, and even more quick. If you are familiar with Randall Cobb of the Packers, think faster and quicker. He breaks huge plays on special teams and does great things with the ball in his hands. So, if Harvin is such a game breaker, why doesn't he have a better YPC average? The simple answer is that he doesn't get open down the field. He catches a lot of short balls and relies on play design to get open. He runs poor routes, which allows defensive backs to keep up with him. Perhaps his teammates in Seattle were upset that he didn't work harder at route running, and thus took playing time based on talent alone and not actual in-game WR ability.
percy harvin is a joke. one of my least favorite players in the nfl. right behind aldon smith, ray rice and adrian peterson, who might be #1. harvin just sucks, he hasn't really done anything off the field to garner my dislike of him.
