EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have placed ailing wide receiver Percy Harvin on injured reserve.

The move was announced Wednesday afternoon, after Harvin missed another practice because of a severely sprained left ankle that has kept him out of the last three games.

After an outstanding first half, Harvin's season deteriorated quickly.

He was hurt at Seattle on Nov. 4. Now this, meaning he won't play the rest of the yea

Without Harvin, our receiving corps is laughable. He desperately needs some help on the outside to make his life easier. I thought Jerome Simpson could have possibly been that guy but he's been a complete bust. These last 4 games are going to be tough to watch unless someone other than Adrian Peterson steps up.

Wow. Tough break for Minnesota but it sounds like it was the right move to make for the future

It showed last week that even AP at his best cant single handedly overcome your lack of a passing game. The vikings pass offense used ti be so fearsome with moss and carter but over the last 6-7 years you guys have been relying on bums like bernard berrian. In a division gilled up with guys like megatron, marshall, and the green bay trio you just dint have the wideouts to keep up in a shootout

Other than Favre's first year here with Sidney Rice, it's been an extremely frustrating passing attack to watch. Adrian Peterson will have to rush for 300 yards for us to win games. Personally, I'd like to see Joe Webb come off the bench and play a bit. I've always liked him more than Ponder.

Ponder does not look like the answer.. But your recieving.group has upside.. Rudolph looks like a future pro bowler, harvin is a stud ( he would best be utilized in the slot) but the rest of them can go away.

Ponder is fine. Its the WR core that is total shit. Harvin is a slot guy not a #1 WR and the poor guy is killing himself trying to be. Ponder AP Rudolph #1 WR and Harvin + a big Red Zone threat would be a good offense

You cant blame young QBs for sucking when they got no talent to throw to

**Knick Killer** · 12-06-2012, 06:47 PM

Yeah I won't give up on Ponder until he has some better receivers. Michael Jenkins, Jarius Wright, Devin Aromashadu, and Jerome Simpson can't get it done.

For being such a smart guy, Ponder really isn't that smart of a quarterback. He makes some dumb decisions. But yes, his receivers do suck.
