Had a feeling after Harper signed that he was gonna be another Mike Mitchell type (i.e. fans who hated him as an opponent would like him as a Panther).

 

This is the kind of thing that lends to that.

Who hated Mitchell?

 

Quite a few people disliked Mike Mitchell.

 

Mitchell had a questionable hit (it was close to being a late hit) on Cam in that game against the Raiders in 2012 when the Raiders were allegedly trying to take out Cam after Hardy and Johnson annihilated Carson Palmer.

 

The difference is, Mitchell proved he can play. Harper still has to do that before fans start to like him, or "respect" him.

So Harper put an obvious cheap-shot on Smitty. Cheap-shot's happen every game, so who cares. Harper is working hard to earn respect, and he has it with me. Dude is like a mirror image of Mitchell signing here last year (when everyone hated him for his attitude, cheap-shot on Cam, etc) and he flourished. 

 

Bold prediction: Harper gets back to his pro-bowl form playing behind our front 7.

Shockey.............I am liking this guy the more I hear from him.  Hated him as a Saint,  but he is a true team first type of player.  Even if he is a little dirty. 

 

it does sound familiar, doesn't it?  always fascinating to see how we perceive players differently once they switch jerseys

If the other guys on the team like him that's all that matters. Mitchell and Cam got their differences sorted out in about 3 seconds.

 

Have you seen what the Saints fans are saying about Harper? He's old, washed up, couldn't keep up with their "awesome" defense. Give the guy a home for a few years I'm sure he's a good guy. He loaned me $20 just the other day.

Mike Mitchell- cheap shot, tons of upside and athletic ability..performed real well in limited starts. Like

Harper- cheap Shot, was too old three seasons ago, played horrible bc of limited and diminished athletic ability. Do not like.

Doubt I will be swayed otherwise.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
