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.
