Joey Harrington

Leftwich is a lot more mobile than people give him credit for. Yes, he is more mobile than Harrington. Don't judge a book by it's cover.

Harrington was actually putting together a career year. I'm not sure he deserved to be yanked, as the one bright spot on that team this year, but Leftwich has been the better player over his career, and it's likely a good move.

I picked him up and started him in the Warpath $$ league (as a bye week replacement), so I guess I'm putting my money where my mouth is.

We have been on the same side of the fence for almost every discussion, and this discussion is no different.
Harrington has not been mobile. Harrington has 383 yards in 76 games and only 1 time reached 100+ yards. Leftwich has gone over 100 yards in a season 2 times, and has 365 yards rushing in 48 games with 8 rushing tds.
Harrington has 0 rushing TD's to Leftwich's 8. So yeah, Leftwich is definitely more mobile.
Harrington had his shot, and he failed for the most part (4 tds in 6 games). It's time to at least TRY something else. I don't think Leftwich will succeed at all though. No one really can with that pathetic offensive line.
