Harrington...he's got better stats...as long as I get Atlanta's defense instead of Detroit's. By the way, did you see how Atlanta's management has totally bought into the Ron Mexico disease by drafting yet another wide receiver in the first round (two years in a row plus the acquisition of Peerless Price)i.e. if Vick's stats aren't good it must be the wide receiver's fault. Next year when Vick is unable to read defenses and continues to run first, pass last there will be more excuses. Isn't it interesting that Peerless Price caught 94 balls for 1252 yards with Buffalo in 2002. Last year, as Vick's primary target he caught 45 balls for 575 yards...must be the water. Yet Vick gets the endorsements and Drew Bledsoe gets nothing. Vick is too busy running to see his receivers. When was the last time a running quarterback won the SuperBowl? If running quarterbacks are so valued why was Matt Jones drafted as a reciever? He had better collegiate rushing numbers than ol' Ron Mexico.

Because Jones doesnt have nearly the arm or the accuracy that Vick showed at one time in college...

Price seems to drop 2 out of every 5 balls and not only that, but he seems to have lost at least a half step, maybe more because he does not get any separation from the defenders anymore like he did when he was with Buffalo.

I think Vick's numbers will very closely parallel Donovan McNabb's here sooner or later....

Harrington is going to be a backup this year.
