He was much better than Jeff Garcia last year Jeff went like 1-5 and Joey was 4-6.
When you have no offensive line and no WR help your QB is never going to look good. Terrible situation for Harrington. Not saying he was that good...

It was almost a pathetic situation that Joey's was thrown into, not saying he's good but give him a chance. I'm happy we got a coach that lays down the law, he won't let are guys slack off and that's what we've needed in Detroit for years. This is much like the Tigers situation we got a guy like Jim Leyland who won't take crap. Look at the Tigers 19-10 are best start since 1984, we won a World Series then.
Joey Harrington was set up to fail in Detroit. His recievers maybe talented, but you certainly can't count on them day in and day out. A few of them have had problems getting off the line and when you have an offensive line that like you don't have time to get jammed up at the line.
