what's so funny about that? Harrington has been an exemplary citizen in Greater Detroit and always takes time out to accomodate fans. He was also the one guy that showed any class whatsoever on a team full of crybabies last year.

Oh, and he also founded the Harrington Family Foundation in his home state of Oregon and does tons of great work there with and for kids and education.

Harrington is a class human being.

I root for this guy as much as I root for anyone in the NFL. I want to see him get some respect on the field, to go along with his much-deserved off-the-field respect.

Last year during the Garcia/Joey merry-go-round, he handled that situation with a great deal of class, in spite of being badmouthed by fans everywhere and being baited bigtime by the media. He is very team focused, and would make a good leader if given the support of his coaching staff (which I don't think he's really ever had for the last 3-4 years now) and a decent surrounding cast.

Notice I didn't say he'll be a probowler or superstar, but could be a good leader.

As a Packer fan I see him two times a year. Seems like a good guy who got into a bad situation in Detriot.

I wasn't dissing the guys off the field stuff, all I am saying is this guy hasn't lead his team once since drafted. Look at his teamates! They aren't even behind him.

You wouldn't expect that (in the city which is always vying for the title "Murder Capital, USA"), the players on the football team would be too finicky to stab their teammate in the back.

Well if the coaching staff would of given him some support, or the o-line, or his WRs or his RBs then it would be another story. Marty and Mooch were to inept coaches that never believed in him as a player and his growth was stunted. Watching some film on him he is more oriented to a downfield passing attack being pricise and accurate vertically but not having good accuracy or timing horozontally which is a hallmark of a WCO passer.

I don't need to say anything about Martz' scheme and he will fit in well with it.

As for leadership on the field it is hard to be a leader when you do not have the coaches behind you.

Harrington is, basically, what Ryan Leaf was--only with maturity and grace.He hasn't had a lick of pro football success, really--but he sure is a classy guy.

Harrington is thousands of times better than Ryan Leaf both on the field and off. That was a horrible comparison.

well if he is the guy in Detroit this season I hope he can flourish with Martz running the offense. I guess I'll believe it when I see it.
