Revenge Is Sweet – The Fans Had No Idea What They Had

I love to see a great quarterback have success when he has the tools to do it:

Dolphins Rally Past Lions 27-10

Miami’s New QB Joey Harrington at Detroit LINK

Harrington did find it interesting that he was the only Miami offensive player the public-address announcer introduced before the game.
'It was for all those people that wanted to boo me,' he said. 'And, they did.'
Not for long.
By the third quarter, with the Lions trailing 17-10 after another poor possession by their offense, Harrington said his lineman told him they didn't need silent counts because they could hear him from the shotgun.
That's because the fans stopped booing Harrington and directed their frustration at team president Matt Millen with the loudest 'Fire Mil-len!' chants of the season.
Detroit is an NFL-worst 23-68 since Millen took control of the franchise in 2001.
'Matt's not down here playing football, we are,' Lions linebacker Boss Bailey bristled. 'If they want to chant 'Fire Millen,' they should be chanting to fire the whole damn team. All Matt does is bring in players, and every year we talk about how much talent we have. So it should be on us. This isn't about Matt.'
Miami (5-6) has won four straight _ doubling Harrington's longest winning streak in any of his four seasons in Detroit. The Lions (2-9) dropped their third straight in a game that ended much differently from the way it began.

I had the pleasure of watching Joey Harrington for 4 years in Eugene, live. I am glad to see that he is doing well. Many of his fans, including me, knew that he has had the right stuff all along.

The Detroit fans that booed him had no idea what they had. Detroit’s football team sucked with Joey Harrington. Now, they suck worse without him.

The QB is not the problem...
 
It was a great game.

Our family has always been Oregon fans, and you are right, Joey Harrington is the real deal. He was an incredible QB at Oregon.

We are sooooo pleased that is now on a team that will take advantage of what he has to offer.

He has certainly paid his dues. . . oh, . . the trials and tribulations of athletics.

And Detroit, . . . :loser: :loser:
 
The thing is, I think if you asked Mike Martz, now the Lions OC, which qb he would want and he would say Harrington over Kitna hands down.
