Title: Lions - QB Controversy!?!?
Post by StegRock on Oct 21^st, 2003, 4:14pm

Head coach Steve Mariucci has not yet made up his mind as to who will be his starting QB for Week 8. Harrington did not look good against Dallas last week, but neither did McMahon. In any case, there is a QB controversy a brewin' in Motown! Here is ALL the latest out of "the Gridiron Newsstand" from the Detroit dailies and official team site:

All the pieces take a slightly different slant, from how the decision will be made to Harrington's take to...

I'm sure that somewhere there is someone who really deeply cares about this, but if anyone here is pondering this issue, I'll be sure to say some prayers for you. :-/

If you are in a deep keeper league, like the GBRFL2 per se [smiley=whistle.gif] , this should definitely be on your radar! For it to be otherwise would just be foolish, in the least.

For the long term, Joey Harrington is clearly the man you need on your roster. Mike McMahon (a fellow Rutgers grad) has no value in a keeper league. Let's face it, the main reason Harrington is struggling is a lack of a running game and the absence of the only threat from the WR position. Harrington will be fine once the Lions get their act together. McMahon isn't even worth a roster spot in the deepest of leagues right now.

If you seem to feel that...

a) McMahon has some sort of value now

or

b) Harrington does not have long-term value

(I'm not sure what else you would be arguing.)

then please explain it to me...

First of all, I'm not "arguing" anything. You do what you want. I sure will.

All I am "saying" is that McMahon is, in my book, worth dropping other non-factors, especially in the area of dime-a-dozen receivers, like Bryant Johnson or perhaps even Tyrone Calico and surely an extra second kicker for and taking a flyer on.
