I was curious how effective Wilson has been with Harvin on the field, so I crunched the numbers and found a result you may find interesting.
Percy Harvin left his first two games (Minnesota and Saints) at half time. He played most of the Super Bowl and saw plenty of action in the 2nd and 3rd preseason games this year. For this sample, I added up all of Wilson's numbers for pass attempts when Harvin was still an active part of the game.
This is by no means a perfect accounting as it includes preseason stats during a year where pass defense is just about impossible, and I am working under the potentially faulty assumption that Harvin stayed in those preseason games as long as Wilson did. So take these numbers with a grain of salt. That said:
vs. Minnesota, with Harvin:
9/11, 173 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT
vs. Saints (Divisional round playoffs), with Harvin:
7/9, 62 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT (Seattle led 16-0 at halftime when Harvin left the game)
SB XLVIII
18/25, 205 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
vs. Chargers (preseason)
11/13, 121 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT
vs. Bears (preseason)
15/20, 202 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
Add it all up and you get:
60/78, 764 yards, 5 TD, 0 INT
76.9% completion rate
9.8 yards per attempt
128.4 passer rating
Seattle also ran the crap out of the ball during those five games. And scored a lot. Seattle as a team averaged 36.4 points per game in this five game sample (and that number rises slightly if you take out the non-Harvin second halves against Minny and New Orleans).
Remember last year's issues scoring in the 1st half? In all five games with Harvin Seattle scored more points in the first half than the second, and in all five cases Seattle scored enough points to win by halftime.
