Joey Harrington

[ClipJoint]

In Harrington's defense, he has gotten better each year. The QB position is the most difficult to adjust to from college to the NFL. The learning curve is steep.

The weapons around him have also gotten much better each year. With a solid running game next year and a healthy group of amazing receivers, this should be his breakout year.

I really like Detroit this year as well as a sleeper...especially in a very mediocre conference.

i agree, people keep blowing him off, but i think he'll perform. he has no choice. he may feel a bit of pressure, especially with jeff garcia now on the roster. but i think that will help harrington, b/c this is the first time he's ever had to worry about competition at his position. he should be a good fantasy player, especially with those receivers, and marcus pollard

He's not had much pass protection......

Without Kevin Jones being so creative and quick, the same would be said of the run blocking. No doubt about it though, what a powerful offense this could be if they ever get it together....

If he doesn't break out this year, he never will.
