100% disagree. Sometimes a change of atmosphere and coaches helps a lot! Look at Steve Young, he was downright awful for 4 straight years (85-88) where he had right around 53% completion and only 24 tds, coupled with 24ints. He wasn't given the full riens til 91 or 92. (7-8 years later)
This will be Harrington's 6th year. Also, for the first time in his career, he hasn't needed to be "THE MAN", he actually has a running game in Atlanta to fall back on if need be.
Just in case you missed it, Harrington has gotten better with comp % which is usually an indictation of a QB getting better:
02- 50.1%
03- 55.8%
04- 56.0%
05- 57.0%
06- 57.5%
Now, I'm not saying that he's going to be Steve Young (IMO the best QB ever) what I am saying is there has been people that have done it, it's not too late.
Also, it basically took Rich Gannon 10 years before he was good...everyone passed on him too...oh yeah, like the Skins!
