kidhawk wrote Danny O'neil is talking about it on KIRO right now and is speculating that it may have something to do with the fact that Percy hasn't been practicing the past few weeks. basically he's saying that it may be an attitude thing.
As a Hawks fan, I can tell you that we aren't happy about it....but there's got to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about. We were shocked when we got him, and now we're even more shocked that he's gone.
I liked most of what we have seen from him, but we have gone away from our normal offense in order to try and force the ball to him....and that kind of blew up in our face last weekend against Dallas.
As for us justifying the trade....we've had faith in the front office before and it has mostly worked out positively, so most of us have faith that they are making the right decision here. This FO hasn't been afraid to move away from players who weren't working out and it hasn't bitten us in the butt....time will tell whether this one does or not.
Oh, no question about that - we gave away a ton and could have gotten a taller/bigger receiver that we really lack right now or the linemen that we are lacking.I'm sure trading him AWAY won't bite you in the butt. Trading that much for him was the bad move.
Thanks comin over and telling your view of the situation.Oh, no question about that - we gave away a ton and could have gotten a taller/bigger receiver that we really lack right now or the linemen that we are lacking.
He certainly helped us in the Super Bowl last year with the Kickoff return and the Jet Sweeps, but the fact of the matter is that we made it there without him....so I'm hopeful that we can do it again this year.....but it certainly isn't going to be easy.
He might be faster...might. But I wouldn't say he's a more polished WR. He is a rookie who has played limited snaps.dont sleep on Paul Richardson he reminds me of DJax hes probably faster then Harvin and a more polished receiver.
Richardson is also a twig. He weighs as much as Tavon while being ~4 inches taller. And it's not like Tavon is a big guy.dont sleep on Paul Richardson he reminds me of DJax hes probably faster then Harvin and a more polished receiver.
I agree....in all honesty, I am impressed with the speed with which the Hawks FO is willing to part ways with a guy that isn't a great fit...yeah, knock em for not seeing it before the trade with the Vikings,( hindsight being what it is) but I commend their speedy resolution. Say what ya will about em, they built a quality team over there...much as I hate em :double: they ain't the first team to get the short end of a trade...frankly, the Vikes hold that recordAs a Hawks fan, I can tell you that we aren't happy about it....but there's got to be something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about.
