Falcons Sign Harrington

[Leisa]

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) - Joey Harrington signed with the Atlanta Falcons on Monday to back up Michael Vick at quarterback.



Harrington, the third overall pick by Detroit in the 2002 draft, started 11 games with Miami last season after being obtained by the Dolphins in a trade with the Lions. He threw for 2,236 yards with 12 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

He was a disappointment in Detroit, in part because he was chosen so high in the draft. From 2002-05, he started 55 games with the Lions, throwing for 10,000 yards with 60 touchdowns and 62 interceptions.

Harrington will replace Matt Schaub, Vick's backup the past three seasons. Schaub was traded to Houston, where he will be the starter.

harrington is fucking trash......i don't know why the hell we ever picked him up

he did so good in college though, he never really lived up to his career.

[Jgsr311]

[GirlieZ]

ehh, just goes to show...gatech ftw

Harrington is decent he can keep a team at .500 if Vick goes down, which he will at some point through the season....but if you want to go ahead and trash him do so. but i go by wins and losses/stats he can keep the falcons at.500 if need be. o yea and shockley will be the third string QB(right where he should be!). ok that comment was a little biased because i HATE georgia. Im sorry UF FTW AND ATL FTW for a goood quality backup

I read that getting Jamal Anderson is a possibility. Lol, wtf? Random I thought...

[PhAtBoYMr2]

hahaha jamal anderson? he lives right down the street i see him all the time. but that would be tight, he could bring the dirty bird back

[Kelly]

True! That was the first thing that came to my mind. :lmao:

[2.0civic]

hell yeah falcons then would just need tuggle and chandler and they would have their 98 team back lolol....injured QB all the time, no line and half assed receiving...

[Kelly]

Haters!

[ShooterMcGavin]

[ShooterMcGavin]

[HalfBaked]

Actually he was busy being a high school janitor in Texas because of community service. haha

[CSquared]

Why would the jets worry about the falcons.

The jets are in the afc, the falcons in the NFC.

Why are you laughing? Because the 49ers are on the way up and the Falcons are on the way down?

[BB6dohcvtec]

naw im laughing because you think gore is going to have another season like last years and you think alex smith will actually have time to throw the ball. yea 49ers are on the way up they wont be dead last in the nfc but they wont get out of the bottom of the pack. lol fuck san fran. e-mail the team and tell them to buy a xtra large pack of skittles and just watch the season past them by. pz

Come super bowl time... lol if the fucking islanders can make it to the playoffs, this has to be our season :boobies:

Seriously though I think i am going to fly to NY and punch chad pennington in the face if he gets injured again this year. As long as the jets make it to the playoffs i'll be happy... Can't expect much from them.

Can I interest you in a bet?

[BB6dohcvtec]

mmmm what cha talkin bout willis?

[Nomad!]

Joey had a couple of decent seasons but, his performance took a pretty big dump! It'll be interesting to see how he works in Atlanta's system.

On a side note...how did the Falcons get 2 Monday night games for the 07 season?!?!?

["B"]

mmmm what cha talkin bout willis?


Just a friendly little bet on the 49ers/Falcons game. Say $20?

I'll be there for the game.

[Kelly]

Who's pullin for who?

[Mike Lowrey]

~yawn~

Falcons Suck!

~leaves~

[81911SC]

Tom brady FTW. Yea I said it.

["B"]

I'm betting on the 49ers and I'll be at the game.

[Tracer]

The Falcons are a joke until they get a "REAL" QB. Vick is a waste of money. Just wish they would stop wasting their time with him and trade him.
