Id be willing to take a chance on Harrington if the price was right. I am trying to figure out why we are passing on these backup QB's. Are we going to piss away draft picks to move up?? I really hope not.

Harrington as a backup? Yes.
McMahon? No.

The guy is horrible. It would be interesting to see him play receiver, but as a QB, he just can't throw. He's got a strong arm, but he can't hit the broad side of a barn.

I'll pass on Harrington...he's had good WR options, a good OLine, a good RB, etc. to help him out...plus three coaches who tried to groom him. I'd like to stay where we are in the draft too, but at the same time I wouldn't totally object to moving up so we could get Leinart or Cutler either (who knows if prospects that good will be around come next years' draft?)

Couldn't agree more!!!! Harrington is not going to be expensive and he is definitely has more potential then McMahon. McMahon is a white version of Michael Vick with as often as he scrambles around out there. We need to sign Harrington and only draft a QB in the first round if Cutler falls to us. Do not trade away our picks to get a guy who could end up amounting to nothing more then Harrington anyways.

I watched a few of those games last year after McNabb got hurt and McMahon was terrible. Childress was right there on the sideline he must know that is guy can't play. As far as Harrington goes, I think he would be a much better back up. But I would never want to see either of these guys running our team.

No he hasn't.
