Commander_N_Chief Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Harrington didn't work with the Lions and with the Falcons We should let a younger QB develop in the 3rd string spot that is still unknown if he can succeed in the league. Not to sound rude, but outside of a qb named Manning or Brady can you tell me what quarterback could survive under the conditions he was in? Had Collins not come back I wouldn't have objected to him coming in as a second stringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexterSackMachine Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 With Collins as a solid #2 for a couple years, we need to develop a young qb for the future # 2 role. No Harrington or anyone of that kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitStickTaylor21 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 at this point, I don't think anything can be done to revive his career. It's time to develop someone young via the draft. Then we have a young talent for the future in JC, a knowledgeable vet in Collins, and a project that could have potential as a third stringer who could be around for awhile.

Scamp1 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Joey needs to go ahead and start touring with Hornsby and what evers left of the Further Fest Hippys. "The boy has too delicate a hands to be in this rough and tumble game. Joey you go on home now, thats right keep shuffling on down the road, and dont you look back now. Nothing here for yuh."

RedskinsFanatic Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well...I'm too biased to really give an opinion since he's a legend here I wish him the best wherever he goes...with that said I still would pass and draft a late round QB. Sad in a way to say that as I really do like the guy but.......it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chump Bailey Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Probably not a good idea although I think he took a bit too much of the blame. Any QB on that team will likely struggle until the protection gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightbird Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Good grief. If you didn't know he was drafted so high and just looked at his NFL resume, there'd be no reason to bring him in. I don't give a rat's patooty what he did in the pac-10, he's been a terrible NFL qb. I know, I know, he's been in "tough situations." I don't care about that either. He can't make all the throws, he's not a leader, his teammates complain about him, yadda yadda yadda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think how you would feel walking into a situation where a couple of loudmouth team leaders think that you are a loser and that you are not the answer to the teams QB needs, and it rubs off on the younger guys. That would be a hard team to lead. I agree with the other poster that stated, that if Collins didn't come back, Harrington wouldn't be a bad #2. At least we could see what he could do with a supporting cast. If he failed, then I would have to agree with you. But how many of us were boasting about Collins' talent before he got a chance to show it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Isn't Sam Hollenbach the unofficial 3rd QB right now? He has been working with Jason Campbell at the Park. And also, why would Harrington come in and be a 3 when he was a starter last season? He probably is going to go somewhere wher he is #2 and maybe has a shot at starting.

Tranman387 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The Atlanta situation wasn't completely his fault. He signed on to be a backup and got thrust into the starting gig without much prep time. I agree that he signs on somewhere to be the #2. There is no way he comes to DC as a #3 QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNationalist Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Personally, I'd love to hear WHY you would rather have him as a backup.Hmmm, failure Joey Heisman > TC 15 who lead us on a 4 game win streak after not starting a game in 10 years. I don't think so. Becaise Todd was only worth while in al saunders offence. All his upside is gone right now. Joey did great last season for the falcons. a 60%+ completion rate throwing to a bunch of recievers drop the ball at any given oppurtunity. Not to mention those recievers can be thanked for several of his Ints. Joey did great last season- the falcons are idiots for cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detroit pre Martz era when he was there...who was the qb and how great was he? Miami last time I checked they went a grand 1-15, the team was supposed to be better this year.... Atlanta...only viable possiblity; Vick wasn't really a qb but for a year he and Dunn held the best rushing team lead. I really don't see how it's fair to evaluate him when all he's ever had was scrub teams to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passizle Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Falcons cut QB HarringtonFalcons have cut their former starting QB Joey Harrington. Nobody in need of a starting QB is going to sign him before the Draft, and I think he could be a decent 3rd stringer. He's been shuffled around bad teams with very little chance to succeed. He's been a bust for a draft pick so we could pick him up at a relatively low price and winner or loser he is still a veteran. Zorn is known for developing QBs and I think he could have a positive effect on Joey, who knows maybe one day he could emerge as what he was supposed to be? I'm not against signing him as the #3 QB. Wondering how everyone else would feel if we got him for a low price. Three words... Are... You... High... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quettefan Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Joey Harrington has not lived up to his draft status but he isn't terrible either. He has played on some extremely bad teams. I definitely wouldn't consider brigning him in to start but having him at #3 couldn't hurt. If we signed him to a one year deal our coaches could evaluate if there is still anything there to work with. If there is any hope we keep him on as #3 and try to groom him into a longterm #2 role. If not we let him go at the end of the season. I feel the same way about Carr/Leftwhich. Why not get a guy that had first round portential as a #3. They wouldn't be required to assume the leadership role they all failed at. That being said I wouldn't be upset if we didn't sign any of these guys. agree 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
