QBs

Looks like Joey Harrington may be the next QB to get the Tim Couch treatment. If the Lions do follow through on this it will be a good decision -- Harrington just is not very good. But anyhow, the really interesting news in this article is that Mike McMahon is not in the Lions future plans either. I know McMahon was a favorite of Butch (due to the Big East connection, I guess) and it's not in fashion to give him any credit these days, but really McMahon is an interesting young QB. I thought he looked very good in mop-up duty vs. the Browns in preseasons past and he'd make an intriguing pick-up for some NFL team if the Lions cut him loose. Same could be said for David Garrard too, though I don't know his status.

If Garcia gets released that will open up all sorts or possibilities for the Browns, including drafting a QB early (try not to cringe). I guess I would favor keeping Holcomb for a year or signing another veteran (Brad Johnson is my preference, even though he can be a stiff) to start for a year, and then work hard to find a young guy to develop. Maybe McMahon or Garrard could be that guy. It probably isn't McCown. Or maybe the Browns find a later round draft pick, hopefully someone from a big school who was steady if not spectacular.

And, while we are on the subject of yong QBs, let me just reiterate that David Carr sucks bad. Maybe it is the Chris Palmer influence. But he is bad. And he could use a haircut.
