Other candidates: Brandon Fields Number 3 - Joey Harrington, QB, 2006 As hard as it is to put Harrington on a ...

The double G will stand for "Get Gone."   #6 Mark Brunell and Joey Harrington These guys make the list only because if something happens to Brees we'll take all our frustration out on these two clowns and ...

Supposed Stafford Infatuation Junkie
Pride Of Detroit — ... any two highly drafted quarterbacks to each other?  In my mind, you can't.  There are just too many differences in each unique circumstance to draw any type of logical conclusion.  This is why I don't think Stafford should be pigeonholed into any historical category.  He is Matt Stafford, with only Matt Stafford's skill-set and he is in Detroit for the 2009 NFL season.  That situation is different from every other quarterback in NFL history... including Joey Harrington's.  This, of course, isn't a reason to start ...

Dolphins knock off Saints to complete unbeaten preseason
The Phinsider — ... The starters held New Orleans running backs to just 19 yards rushing on 7 carries.  And five of their seven carries went for two yards or less. But the secondary still has to tighten up.  No team's reserves should put up 89 yards passing against a first-team defense in a little over a quarter.  Of course, 43 of those 89 yards came on a well-timed screen pass that was called against a blitz from the Dolphins.  But even still, Mark Brunell and Joey Harrington have no right combining to go 5/8 passing for 89 yards against ...
