uup115 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 i m pretty sure falcons head coach bobby petrino still thinks he s coaching in college. how else can you explain how he d let the media inform quarterback joey harrington that once byron leftwich is healthy, he ll be the starting quarterback again. joey harrington may suck, but he has been in this system a few months longer than leftwich and he s been at the helm of the falcons two-game winning streak that has put them within striking distance of the nfc south lead. petrino has let yet another situation spiral out of control, and this one involves the starting quarterback. this shows me that petrino is better suited for the college game, where players have limited media access and are on scholarship.linkage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magestik63 Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 linkagei dont like joey being our starting qb. he stares down the pass rush, instead of looking down field. and he holds the ball too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 i don't think he was trying to keep it a secret. he flat out benched joey harrington for byron leftwich when he thought leftwich had a good enough grasp on the offense. joey isn't stupid and i'm sure petrino wasn't playing mindgames with him.more sensationalized bs.

the falcons ace Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 petrino announced after the giants game the byron would be the qb for the rest of the year. it's not petrino's fault joey assumed that just because he went down for a couple of games he was the permanent starter.

Negrodamus Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 does anyone have a link to where harrington himself said he was upset about the way petrino handled things? i have yet to see one. if there is not one, all this crybaby bs is completely over-dramatic and quite laughable.

SoCalFalconFan Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 linkagepetrino doesn't care about anything but winning football games. these guys are multi-million dollar athletes, they don't need to be babied or affirmed all the time. it's a job. where did all the "men" go?

Absolute Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 why is this such a big deal? we knew during the saints game that this was byron's team the rest of the season. the media is just reminding joey but since he seems to have forgotten, now he knows the deal. people always try to stir up crap when it all amounts to nothing.

bridson Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 alot of players seem to be complaining about petrino and there seems to be alot of controversy around the team. i think petrino may be good at designing plays but he is letting the media have a field day with him because of his poor communication skills. he should be like belichick when talking about the qb issue. you want to keep the bucs guessing who is going to start.
