MAC in the NFL

I think it is great how Sunday Night Football features 2 teams with starting quarterbacks from the MAC. I think it shows that the MAC has players that make a big impact in the NFL. It also shows how the MAC has came in the last couple of years. When Jacobs graduates I hope he has a big impact like Roethlisberger is having now. GO MAC!

Hopefully Josh can get another look next year also. He had so many intangibles. Sure, Omar's stats were out of this world this year, but he still needs to learn how to pick the team up on his back the way Josh could.

I would love to get Josh in Detroit. He would fit the offense great with Mariucchi. Detroit needs a QB like Josh Harris....

bgsufan1972: Don't you think Detroit has bigger needs than another QB, especially since they have Harrington?

Your typical Lion fan is about 3 steps away from Lynching Joey Harrington. Harrington, I believe, is viewed not as part of the problem so much as he is viewed as THE problem.

Joey has issues, but he's not the worst QB in the league by far. With the cash they're paying him though that ain't good enough. Personally, I think they should fix that defense, but Charlie Frye or the like would definitely be a welcome change in the Motor City.

And guys, I love Josh Harris as much as the next guy, but c'mon. As an NFL fan, if you're looking towards Harris as the savior of your franchise, you've got some problems with that NFL team. I think given time Josh could become a legit player, but it is going to take at least 2-3 years of good coaching before he should touch a football field. Remember he's currently on the practice squad on the team that is among the bottom 5 in overall QB play. Oh, and FWIW, he isn't getting his first year of that good coaching yet either. That staff in Baltimore has continually failed to put even a mediocre QB on the field. Its a sad state when Trent Dilfer is the best you can do.

Ok, I am just sick and tired of its 3rd and 8 and instead of Harrington looking down the field he dumps it off for a 5 yard gain. He was overrated back in College and he needs to go!!!! Bring in someone new....Bring in Harris,

and

1987, YES HARRINGTON IS THE PROBLEM

Joey's deep throws look like punts. You have a guy with some speed like Williams stopping and waiting for the db and the football to catch up with him. Unfortuantely, the db always gets there first.

Joey also has accuracy issues. If the ball needs to be high, he throws it low. If it needs to be low, he throws it high....a decent QB would have easily rung up 3-4 more TD's on the Cardinals yesterday. Instead, we settled for Fg tries. Thank God for Hanson. He's been our offense this year
