does anyone know where we are with Harrington? and if we are really going to make a move on a 2nd or third QB. and who?:confused:
 
As far as I know, we have the upper hand and still plan on aquiring him but without giving compensation now.
Now someone will post how we don't need him because we have little vick now who probably won't even make the team. Then I will beat my head against the wall.

Miami pulled the offer of a sixth round pick in 2007. Miami decided that they will wait until June 15th(when the Lions have to cut him) to sign him without giving up compensation. It is 99% sure that Harrington will be here, but it won't become official until mid-June. Miami and Joey have the upper hand since he has said he will only negotiate with us and that no team will trade for him with his current contract. Plus, the Lions don't want to pay him his big $4 million bonus on June 15th.

Once we get Harrington our QB depth chart will look like this:

1. Daunte Culpepper
2. Joey Harrington
3. Cleo Lemon

It scares me to death that Harrington won't be a Dolphin till late June and may have to start opening night if Culpeepper isn't ready.

Yeah, it won't be easy having to wait until June. But it doesn't seem to bother Saban that much. Heck, with the good news flowing in about Culpepper, we may not need to count on Harrington week 1. Still though, I will feel a whole lot better about our quarterback situation once we officially add Joey.
 
I think June 15 through the preseason games will be enough to get him a functional understanding of the offense as well as develop a little bit of chemistry with the receivers. I think he'll be fine by the opener.

The news has been good about Culpepper. I will feel alot better too about at least having a backup with experience when we add Harrington.

The thing that bothers me is Joey's ability to grasp the whole offense in such a short period of time. The last thing you want to do is go into Pittsburgh with a stripped down vanilla offense due to QB limitations.

Saban's lack of interest to go out and just sign a body to fill the position does put me at ease to a certain extent. Maybe things are a lot better on the inside than they appear on the outside. Let's hope that is the case.

Don't worry. According to the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero

"Unless they see a different player on tape than the one I saw on the field, Vick's Dolphins career is over....Marcus Vick did not take any snaps at quarterback in the team and seven-on-seven periods during today's final practice of the minicamp.

He spent all of his time during the session at receiver and, frankly, he looked better at receiver than he did the previous two days at QB. But that doesn't mean he was good."

Dont be surprised if Saban changes his mind and says we are going with this:

1. Daunte Culpepper
2. Cleo Lemon
3. Brock Berlin/Newbee #11 (forgot his name)


And Kerry Collins is still out there.
 
Harrington will be a Fin. He's in the same situation as McNair. The Lions cant trade him to anyone, Harrington holds all the leverage.

Personally, I think Harrington got a raw deal in Detroit. That coaching staff never wanted him anyway, and all of those so-called "weapons" that Detroit drafted havent exactly panned out anyway Rogers has off the field problems, M.Williams and Jones have been injured.

If Culpepper cant go on for game 1, Harrington will give us a competent #2.
 
were definitley gettin harrington i hope our qb roster looks like this..tho it probly wont:boohoo:

1.Daunte Culpepper
2.Joey Harrington
3.Marcus Vick
 
Im not really worried, the season dont start in June, plus he has some starting experience. He should be ready for start of season if Culpepper is not.
 
we are waiting until Harrington is released because millen is a BUM...

I agree Collins might be worth a look....but Berlin, unfortunately, looks like a wash. He just lost his starting position to some guy...in Europe....OUCH!!
Miami Herald quote:

"Brock Berlin might as well come home because his time in the NFL Europe League has not been exactly productive.

Berlin has started six games and completed 60 of 122 passes (that's less than 50 percent). He's thrown for for 563 yards with three touchdowns and SIX INTERCEPTIONS.

What's worse is the former University of Miami starter recently lost his starting job in Hamburg. And the guy who took his place threw for over 300 yards in the game.

If I'm Brock, I get on the next plane and head to South Florida and try to salvage my summer because being out of the coaching staff's mind here, and being on the bench over there is a bad combination."
