Joey Harrington signs with the Saints

we might be able to make a profit off of these guys eventually even if Rodgers does stay healthy.

I think the chances of earning draft picks are insignificant. I guess Wolf was able to turn a small "profit" on Brunnell, cost a 5th, returned a 3rd, or something like that. But I think the drafting is done to have a backup, and other options if Rodgers tanks.

I don't think this strategy works. First of all, the talent pool for available QBs gets shallower every week into the season. We're at the Joey Harrington level - up to TT's waist. In another month it will be a kiddie pool, knee deep, lots of pee, and even the occassional turd floating by.

Yoinks, easy on the imagery, Harlan!

I agree with Huck on this. So I must be wrong. TT keeping both Kiddie QB's smacks of the "dueling punters" scenario of years gone by. You have a grizzled back-up (Strock, Deberg, Pederson etc) and a kid who is the QB of the future. There were some guys floating around out there I could of seen us having. Joey woulld have been scary because Tank could come back and crow (although he'd still be wrong Harrington wouldn't start here).

I wanted us to land Simms or Griese. I know they are not first rate, but they are back-ups. I really don't know who is left, but I guess we are committed to the Kids. Next season I won't feel so scared. That last pre-season game, they both had the deer in the headlights thing going on.

I really shouldn't read Harlan's posts right after dinner like that.

Harrington might find a second career on Bourbon St. in New Orleans.

Believe it or not, the guy is an accomplished, jazz pianist.

How does Joey get his own thread?
