[QUOTE="TJV, post: 577686, member: 4300"] The last thing I will do is be an apologist for the Seahawks, Schnieder, or any other team or person, but it seems to me you are exaggerating the Seahawks’ problems. Schnieder obviously made a mistake trading for Harvin before the 2013 season. He knew, or should have known Harvin was a problem child and he paid him a lot of money. But (he and his defenders would no doubt argue) he and Carroll built a good enough team to win it all in spite that mistake. And while the mistake caused them to take a hit money- and cap-wise, no team in the league has deeper pockets than Paul Allen and his approximate $16,000,000,000 net worth. So it's "only" a cap problem: Any problem that can be solved with money will be. Since none of us were in the locker room with Harvin we can’t know all the facts or how destructive his attitude was. As far as other Seahawks players causing distractions: [I]All distractions are not created equal[/I]. Someone like Sherman mouthing off is far different than a player engaging in fights with his teammates, as Harvin did with both Tate and Baldwin. And they weren’t “scrimmage fights” where a player on one side of the ball goes after another on the other side. Harvin’s fights were with fellow WRs. This is from the National Football Post: [url]http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Percy-Harvin-got-into-fights-with-teammates-refused-to-play.html[/url] If you're saying the Seahawks have a lot of players as bad as Harvin, I'd like to see the evidence.
