Roman Harper "Pats practice just like everyone else"

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.
