To me, that makes him a very good sleeper, and I am not sure he will do that well.

If Harrington throws for 3,500 yards and 24tds, I will be nothing short of amazed. Only 8 QBs threw for more than 3,500 yards last season, and those QBs are: Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, Marc Bulger, Jon Kitna, Carson Palmer, Brett Favre, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger. Only Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, and Drew Brees threw for more than 24 TDs and 3,500 yards.
I cannot see Joey Harrington have as good of a season as Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, and Drew Brees had last year, particularly in Atlanta's run-first offense. They've got some good RBs in Warrick Dunn and Jerious Norwood and, aside from aging Joe Horn, no solid wideouts. Finally, their O-line is still suspect. Wayne Gandy was getting abused at LT by Justin Smith.
Assuming Harrington isn't injured or benched, I see him throwing for 2,900 yards, 17 TDs, and 16 INTs.
