texasbirdfan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 cecil lammey, sigmund bloom and marc faletti in their weekly audio podcast. "petrino makes cam cameron in miami look like he is getting his act together". the only thing positive they could say about bp was he has improved the passing lanes which is one of the things he was brought in to do. they did not agree with yanking harrington: "harrington's done an admirable job as falcon qb in the right system and petrino's is the right system." "it appears he has given up on harrington" they agreed that they gave leftwich an easy assignment on giving him the starting job against week new orleans: meaning bp or the falcon organization are trying to set up leftwich to succeed for whatever reason. the footballguys could not come up with a reason. they all agreed "the bobby petrino era is going badly" and they all predicted a bad outcome.footballguys.com has been the top forcasting group in nfl the last few years and focuses on fantasy football, but their coverage is so thorough (over 27 writers on staff plus contributors and members including major nfl beat writers for national news media) they cover every angle of the game. so when they talk people should listen.

sbcfalcon Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 can't say i dont agree with them, in regards to joey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonsabull Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 i like the idea of pulling joey. if its broke, fix it. the offense is broken and it starts with the qb. you cant replace the ol, the wr's, etc (other than a player here and there). the offense wasnt terrible with harrington and petrino has my praise for having the balls to make the move.

xrage Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 i was surprised by the move to bench harrington. harrington has had his problems but the atrocious play of the offensive line has only made things worse. i don't feel real confident that leftwich can succeed playing behind our oline because he is even less mobile than harrington is. then again, this move probably isn't all about harrington's [lack of] ability to escape the pass rush. petrino is the coach and he is the one calling the plays, reviewing game film, and watching harrington every day in practice. he should know more than anyone how each play should be run. he's probably seeing other stuff that the average fan watching at home on television isn't, so you have to respect that. it's not like we're going anywhere this year anyway so we might as well see what leftwich can do.

tonsabull Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 ok sir. then why are you judging harrington after 6 games?harrington has played qb in 75 nfl games. who told you i was judging him on 6 games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbirdfan Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 harrington has played qb in 75 nfl games. who told you i was judging him on 6 games?so you will give petrino some slack because he won in college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtone Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 1-5, and that's a team stat not a qb stat. harrington did an admirable job considering the pass protection problems, run blocking problems, and drops.footballguys is right. leftwich will do no better in this offense and faces an easier matchup this week (easier than minn, jax, tenn, and nyg).you are not dealing in facts that's their opinion. they are not experts they're radio jockeys. joey horrible has always sucked everywhere he's gone. we look just like the lions of 2002-2005. he shouldn't have been starting for this team it's just unfortunate that it took the coaching staff 2 regular season games to realize it. byron was never brought in to back up anyone. bp made his decision after the jags lost that joey was not his guy. he has no heart he's as soft as church music, and he has the arm strength of a 6 year old girl scout. i can't believe you actually think he's good. that's really sad.

tonsabull Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 so you will give petrino some slack because he won in college?no, i'm giving petrino some slack because he's only been an nfl hc for 6 games and when he originally arrived he had the most dysfunctional qb in nfl history (imo) to work with. now after the time he put in with that qb has been wasted, and all things considered, its wayyy too early to be passing judgement on the guy.
