I can give you my guarantee he will put up better numbers than Kordell Stewart this year.
Hard to say.. All of his weapons with the exception of Tai Streets is unproven. I have faith in Mariucci though. I'm sure he will be worth a backup QB spot.
I think he could be ok as a backup, maybe good. But his weapons are young and unproven, just like him. I think this year will show us something about Harrington.
I like Harrington, I think that team has a bright future. The offense is young and in another year they should have it together even more and Harrington could be even more valuable. I'm not sure you can call them weapons until you see them play though...
He is worth a backup QB spot, especially in dynasty leagues...

You cant say that. The NFL is different from the NCAA, just because he was great in college doesnt mean he will excel in the NFL. Ryan Leaf is a prime example. As far as Harrington goes, I think he has it in him, he just hasn't had the chance to exploit it, I definately see this offence coming together now though...playing behind all the time doesn't help Harrington either, and the fact he hasnt had the best WRs...
What Nittany said about Roy Williams having to prove himself. And, I'm liking Detroit's offense, but I think without a solid defense they're going to be under a lot of pressure to perform and its going to take a few years to really get things going (maybe next year with another good draft).

Exactly. You can't just assume someone won't be a bust. Look at top 10 picks of past drafts, and you'll find quite a few. And sadly, a few too many Penn State RBs.

I couldn't agree more. If that was true, Ryan Leaf wouldn't have had to prove himself. Curtis Enis? Rashaan Salaam? Cade McNown? Damn, they are all Bears...
