For whatever you think of Harper...

People overplay the late hit on Smith thing.  If you've ever played sports, you know that type of stuff happens all the time and it's not personal.  It's pretty easy to get caught up in the moment when you're playing aggressively and angry.  That hit was never going to hurt someone.

Mike Mitchell roughed up Newton the year before he signed here too.

By midseason he was everyone's favorite safety.

Big difference is Mike Mitchell was good and a young talent. So when Mitchell decided to sign it was exciting.

This is Roman Harper on his downswing..uh..will RH be good in 2014? Magic 8 Ball says "not freaking likley"

No. No excuse for that crap.

Hope this guy never sees the field now that I see the number on him. Don't need an injury but i dunno maybe if he could break a few laws or something..that'd be great.

Why don't you join the Vikings board? You clearly are more of a player fan than team fan. Wishing ill on a player that will leave the team weaker at the position is stupid. I don't like Harper either, but the only thing we can do is hope he can help out our secondary.

Bet you'll feel better the first time you see him do it to Brees or Graham.

Not really, because it would still be a jackass thing to do and possibly a critical penalty. Drill them legally or right at the whistle all day long, but no room for BS like what he pulled.

Disagree. That was blatant and completely intentional. Julius Peppers' hit on Rodgers a few years back or possibly even Cannon's leg-whip on CJ fall into the 'stuff happens' category, but Harper's falls into the completely intentional 'gigantic douchebag' category, similar to Cameron Wake popping Cam in the mouth last year. Not meaning to be a Panthers homer here but those are the examples I can think of at the moment.

I'm not "excusing" it.  It's just reality. 

You can be fiery but you don't have to be dirty.  Obviously I didn't play sports at anything close to a pro level but I can honestly say that I never was dirty no matter how pissed or what was said on the field.  Guys who are dirty players are piss poor human beings with questionable morals and values.  That is reality also.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
