Got thrown into the firestorm as a rookie with a crappy team.

I think Harrington could be good, he was amazing in college (not that college translates to pro) but he just didn't have anything going for him in Detroit, so hopefully he can perform well.

Dude...the comparison between Ramsey and Harrington is laughable. Ramsey wasn't that talented, and did nothing special at Tulane. Harrington came in with amazing talent out of Oregon. Also, Ramsey was the 3rd stringer to start the season (something Harrington never had the luxury of) and was not "thrown in" as you suggest. He didn't even play until week 5, then played only 3 games (week 5, 6, and 7). From weeks 8-13 he had 2 attempts (if I recall, both were half time prayers), then he played weeks 14-17. So how does playing in less than half the season (7 games) actually compare with Harrington actually playing right off the bat????

Ramsey sucked, always will, get over it already.
