I don't know what Harrington's problems are, accuracy, accurate reads, I just can't figure it out. I'm sure he will be fine just needs a bit more time. There are many internet rumors floating around, Harrington for Tim Couch etc etc. Obviously those are not very feasible with the salary cap and all.

I can see why the fans are split.
1) Harrington gets sacked 1/4 the times McMahon does, behind the same OL.
2) Harrington throws picks about 1/2 as often as McMahon does.
3) Harrington had a higher % by 8 despite throwing the ball away to avoid all the sacks that McMahon takes.
Your OL didn't really improve all that much last year they just changed QB's to a guy who didn't try to outrun the pass rush like McMahon.
Harrington will be a GOOD Qb, not a great one but a good one. The % should go up I think at times he throws it away too quickly, but he's so much better than McMahon it's not close.
