I'd take Harrington over Vick any day. Give Harrington a good O-Line and some WR's and I bet he'll do good.

Problem people tend to forget is that vick has been out of football for 3 years....there's no teling what kind of shape he's in or if he can even return to his old form. therefore, he's definately a gamble wahtever way you look at it.

I'd take Brunell over Vick right now. He looked good in pre season last year. I'm not so sure about Harrington. I wish we could have gotten a late draft pick to get a QB in this past draft to develop.

I heard Bobby and Hokie saying that Harrington looked horrible in the OTA's and that he's no better than Palko was.

That's insane if true. I always kinda liked Harrington and saw him play some decent games in Detroit (one was against the Aaron Brooks-led Saints for his first win as a pro).

No way this will happen,our offense is soo far removed from what he brings to the table its not even funny.Much less what the man himself brings to the table........garbage.

If the Saints weren't so close to signing him there would be no other team news to discuss

I thought the old saying was: "absence makes the heart grow fonder". After reading some of this Vick crap, the saying should be changed to: "absence makes the mind grow weaker".

Vick has never been a Top 10 quarterback...again, NEVER.
Please explain how 2 years making sure you don't drop the soap makes him a better quarterback then he was before.

Ummmm, I don't really watch ESPN all that much and I don't know if Vick was ever a top 10 "QB" in his prime. He was the #1 athlete at one point. Had a cannon for an arm, but was so damn inaccurate and always let the play break down instead of just throwing the ball. Sometimes a guy would be wide open and he would just take off and run. That was great for him four years ago. Can he still do that??? Do we even want that when we have Brees???


Yes.

Our 3rd and short and 4th and short conversion percentage would be off the charts with Vick.

Our inability to convert 3rd and 1 last year was the difference between us having home field advantage throughout the playoffs and being 8-8.

Washington, Denver, Minnesota, @ Tampa, @ Chicago were all heartbreaking, nailbiting losses because we could not convert 3rd and 36 inches.

Vick would instantly solve that. There would be no way to start a Tebow-esque formation on 3rd and 1 with Vick taking the snap.

Count me as one who does not want Vick- as another poster has already stated, he is not designed for our offense even if he wasn't such an a-hole...
