Joey Harrington

[guller]

Well the time has come to probably bench "blue skies". Do you think Garcia can do better with this offense? Seems like Joey is running for his life on nearly every play, is Garcia gonna be mobile enough? Maybe we should just start Orlofsomething.

Garcia is a rollout QB- he throws better on the run than your average QB, but worse than average when in the pocket- he failed miserably with the browns because they didn't adjust the game plan to his skill set. of course being chased out of the pocket is different from having a play called to roll out of the pocket- but he can't be any worse than Joey.

I don't know if it will matter, your o-line still blows. It couldn't hurt.

I just want to know wtf happened to Joey.

At Oregon, he was "captain comeback." Always leading a game winning drive in the last moments like a mini Elway.

And he got at least a little better in each year his first couple years... with pretty crappy teams to boot.

Now, apparently, he stinks. Is the defense in the NFL that much better, or does his O-line just suck that much?

I'm sure the answer will be "a little from column A; a little from column B."

I think he lost a lot of confidence. He looks extremely skittish out there.

The O-line, Harrington, Garcia, and Orlovsky all suck. Detroit is doomed.

I can only hope Detroit runs really bad for the rest of the year so they can draft Leinart.


Replacing Harrington with Orlovsky would be preferable to Garcia. At least they would be able to develop a rookie for next year or discover he's actually some suprise superstar.

Repeat after me. "The Lions suck."

AC I expect better from you. This is just dumb. What sense does it make to throw a rookie QB in there? How is that going to help his development, getting that kind of pressure. Its probably what happened to Joey. He's so used to thinking he has 3 seconds to get rid of the ball or he's [censored].

Have some faith you idiots. Their defense is playing well for the most part. If a few parties can get their act together I think they'll start scoring more.
