Marvin Harrison : Dungy to Bears: Harrison would fit in Chicago

THE NEWS

Former Colts coach Tony Dungy advised the Chicago Bears to sign his former player Marvin Harrison on Wednesday, according to ESPN Chicago.

OUR VIEW

Harrison has had an offseason fraught with murky legal issues, and has played just 20 games the past two seasons. Still, it's hard to believe one of the most sure-handed receivers in NFL history can't catch anymore, and he could provide a huge veteran boost for a lot of teams, especially the Bears.

Is he worth picking up? Chicago doesn't have much talent at WR. He could become a reliable target for Cutler.

I guess Dungy has ties with Lovie???

 

[Maven]

Marvin is washed up.

And Angelo. I can't believe Dungy would step on a front office's toes like this unless he was tight with them.

 

[Knobs]

Dungy seems to be taking fantasy football to a whole new level.

 

[comfortably numb]

In before that poster starts asking why Dungy isn't lobbying for Matt Jones to get a job.

Dungy's work with Vick was easy. Harrison would be impressive, but let's see him tackle a couple of tough assignments: David Boston and Jerry Porter.

Why hasn't Dungy been trying to help Matt Jones?

Better question--Why should he be helping Matt Jones?

Mike Williams anyone?

 

[lod01]

There's a boatload of wasted WR talent ready to light it up in the UFL or whatever that stupid league is.

 

[el-gato-grande]

Why hasn't Dungy been trying to help Matt Jones?

Because Matt Jones is a godless heathen. <_<

 

[Raider Nation]

A guy with dead legs on a field which is like quicksand. Yep.... sounds about right.

Ryan Leaf?

Better question--Why should he be helping Matt Jones?

Because at least Jones still has the physical tools to play WR in the NFL.

 

[Knobs]

Because he coached Harrison for years and likely built up a personal relationship with the guy. He had a personal relationship with Vick as well.

He doesn't have a personal relationship with Matt Jones, but that's clearly only because he's white.

All in with Rae Carruth.

 

[Miro Z]

Why hasn't Dungy been trying to help Matt Jones?

I think Dungy has been fairly open about saying that he attempts to help African-Americans.

 

[Deuce'sWild]

Back on track here for a minute...does Marvin have any value in Chicago?

I guess my impression has been that Harrison is just done... but as a Bears fan, I wouldn't mind if we at least brought him in for a look.

There is alot of youth in the Bear's WR corp, having a veteran like Harrison around who can teach and instill good work habits throughout practices would be very beneficial even if Marvin isn't a force on Sundays.

 

[BusterTBronco]

How pathetic is Marvin Harrison's situation that he has to have Tony Dungy go out and beg for any NFL team to give him a shot? Has he no pride? Just retire already and go out with some shred of dignity.

Oh but wait, SJ96 wins when the River turns up Steve McNair.

possible WR4 in deep leagues. The only reason he's a good fit in Chicago is because he wont make the other wideouts look bad by comparison.

 

[RUSF18]

Has Harrison even worked out for any teams? Just wondering exactly how bad his situation is...

Curious about this as well.
