Joey Harrington to be cut tomorrow

[superpunk]

On a message board, email, etc. you pretty much have to go by what is typed, .. it isn't always easy to discern or obvious to recognize "hyperbole", sarcasm, irony, satire or a caustic remark.

Sorry if I misinterpreted "he is not a QB in any sense of the word."

It wasn't a misinterpretation. You read what I wrote - just took it too seriously. Clearly he "plays" the Qb position. That doesn't make him "a QB." Might be too vague, but I understand what I mean.

You are the only one that does

 

[Stash]

Doesn't make either one of them a good QB. You gain nothing in the debate by comparing one bad QB to another bad QB.

I don't know that a lot of people are clamoring for Carr. If they are they are missing the boat. The guy is just not a good QB.

I've seen plenty of wish lists with Carr's name on it around here.

My point was that some of Harrington's numbers are better than Carr's.

That fact surprises a lot of people.

I think a team could do worse than having Harrington as their backup QB.

I mean it is backup QB, how good of a player can you conceivably get?

I'd be happy with a guy in the Rattay, Harrington, Brad Johnson area.

 

[iceberg]

I'd prefer to go for Huard or Brad Johnson or Rattay over Harrington.

My first preference would be for Brad Johnson and then to draft a young QB "to groom" the 2nd day of the draft. (Maybe Round 4 or 5?)

I think B. Johnson could be used as a MUCH better sounding board for Romo than Harrington, and in fact, Johnson may end up being another "coach" on the sidelines for Romo.

um...we have baker as our young/dev guy. can we get a look at him before drafting another just like him?

That is if they choose to continue with Baker or Dallas may look to another young prospect. It is hard to comment on Baker since he saw no action even in pre-season.

Baker? When has a UDFA QB ever developed into anything?

It's not even about talent. It's about getting a guy that will actually have something to contribute to the conversation on the sidelines. Trust me - Joey's major contribution would be to say "This is when I usually F everything up."

Carr isn't anything special, although he has at least posted servicable numbers for 3 years, and completes a decent pct.

After watching Joey for an entire year, I don't want him anywhere near my team, in any capacity, lol.

Romo

But I get your point.

I wouldn't hesitate to draft a QB in the later rounds if the value was there. Baker hasn't proved anything, but that he deserves a chance to compete in the next minicamp.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

I'm fine with virtually anybody mentioned here -- get the meat hook, haul one of 'em over. There are a number of options here and I trust Jerry will get one of them.

I'm just tired of waiting on Colombo news...there are a lot more serviceable backup QBs this year than good RTs...

 

[zeromaster]

What about Ricky Ray?

 

[dallasfaniac]

I am not high on Harrington because Jerry is so interested in him. Jones has meddled enough with the QB position and I would hate to see him hand the reins to JH after a bad game or two by Romo.

In regards to a sounding board on the sideline, I don't think it's such a big deal as people make it out to be. I mean we have freakin Jason Garrett and Wade Wilson on the sidelines too. You look up career backup/sounding board and their pictures show up.

Maybe that was Harrington's problem, he never had a sounding board on the sidelines. In Miami he had Culpepper saying, "just throw it up to Moss near the sidelines" and Harrington thinking "yeah, that's what I was thinking" even though Moss didn't even play for Miami.

I don't really care who it is, whether it be Harrington, Rattay, Johnson, etc. because if we are turning over the reins to one of them because of Romo being benched or injured, I would rather lose most of the games and be in position to draft 1st round QB like Brohm.

Jake Plummer/Damon Huard/or Jeff Garcia

JakeToDallas lives!!

Baker is an UDFA. Though we may hit lightening twice, and unless the coaching staff thinks he's special, I'd look for someone with more upside.

why? we hit lightening in romo - all we need now is someone to look over for a few years and see if they're "it". a 2nd day pick may do that but not a whole lot more of a "lock" than a FA walkon at that point. there was a time when henson was around the 3rd qb debates were in full force, but they were for the most part useless cause by the time you get to your 3rd string, your season is pretty much over.

sure, look for some upside, but let's not risk losing talent at another position just to draft a qb so we can saw we drafted one.

 

[Hostile]

Great question....what about Ricky Ray? LOL

What happened? Did you get lost?

Neither you nor your tag team partner started this thread. I thought it was against your principles to respond to discussions not started by one or the other of you.

Let me put it this way, I'd definitely like to see some competition brought in for Baker. We have a bunch of Day 2 picks. If Ireland sees someone Day 2 who could give us more upside than Baker, personally I'm all for it.

I'm not condoning drafting a QB just to draft a back up QB. And I'm not suggesting we use a Day 1 pick on one either. But I think it's a position we may be able to upgrade in the short term with one of our multiple Day 2 picks, and it could possibly add a lot longer-term in terms of upside, etc.

Anyway, to each his own . . . .

no, that's fair enough. if they don't think baker has "it" or even could, i'd rather take a flyer on a late round qb prospect than another special teams wonder parcells always did.

should be interesting to see which way this team goes in the draft!

 

[BruceWayne]

I'll take him... I wonder how much $$$ he would want

You have to share him though.....................

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Harrington did well in about 3 or 4 games this year, that's about all we would need from him in a worst-case scenario, if he comes w/ the right price tag, I wouldnt' mind it

then again, I wouldn't think twice about it if we didn't sign him
