J Harrington about to be released

Tobias, I think it\'s the \"noone has Brooks\' *cough* talent*cough* that is available\" crowd. lol

This whole Lions-Harrington situation is laughable. I\'m shocked at what Harrington is due to be paid, but he was a high 1st round pick after all. Is it Harrington\'s fault that he had to endure a couple of years under Marty Morningweg\'s tenure? So, he\'s a couple years behind in development because of the Matt and Marty show that didn\'t win a road game in like 3 years. There\'s no way they can give up on a guy that has been starting for them all season. It\'s not like he\'s a Jonathan Sullivan or something that needs to be dumped immediately.

So, in looking at the Lions I can only think that maybe if they\'d act a little like the Saints and at least in public be 100% behind Harrington like the Saints org is behind Brooks, he might get better. There\'s nothing like half of your coaches saying you suck (and who knows what some of them might do to prove it) to undermine your confidence.

I\'d take Harrington in a heartbeat - even at his current salary. The problems with the Lions are not just QB deep.

btw, McMahon is a joke. He\'s had chances to start and was beaten out by Harrington. Don\'t apply so much to him because of his lineage.

Just think, Brooks makes MORE. LOL

Did Harrington actually beat out McMahon, or was it since he was the 3rd pick in the draft, this is the guy we have to go with? I wonder.

And how good is a team if the coaches are behind a player the other players aren\'t? Doesn\'t seem like an atmosphere that would foster success.

Hhmm... off the top of my head.... I\'d bet they could make it to about 8-8 for 4 years in a row! LMAO.

saintswhodi · 01-13-2005, 02:17 PM

Wrong Who, you have to throw in a 7-9. LMAO!!

ScottyRo · 01-13-2005, 05:12 PM

AND a 9-7.

saintswhodi · 01-13-2005, 05:28 PM

And no playoffs.

CheramieIII · 01-13-2005, 08:10 PM

They should let Harrington go or turn him into an expensive 2nd stringer. The Saints should do the same, sign a good QB in free agency and let Brooks fight it out for the starting job and release Boumann he\'s not a backup, maybe a 3rd.

saintswhodi · 01-13-2005, 08:18 PM

I agree with that 100%. Let him earn the right to keep starting, don\'t just give it to him.
