we need some backup with experience. Right now, we have Palko, and that's it.

I agree with that assessment. However, I think we need to consider a younger guy.

Actually I think Harrington would be the right guy. Give him an opportunity to learn in a good system under and outstanding QB and offensive HC and I think he'll flourish. He's done fairly well on some pretty bad offenses the last few years (Faclons, Dolphins). Has the experience, is younger than either Green or Brunell, and has shown that he can actually still play.

I totally disagree. IMO, Mark Brunell on his worst day is better than Joey Harrington on his best day. JH has been in the league for 6 yrs. and has 79 career TD's and 85 INT's. Brunell has been in the league 15 yrs (only played 13 yrs) and has 182 TD's and 106 INT's.

Harrington has only experienced 1 season with more TD's than INT's. Conversely, Brunnel has only had 1 season with more INT's than TD's.

Let's not forget that Harrington QUIT on his team when in Detroit. I don't care how bad the Lions were, I don't want anything to do with a quitter.
