I know there'd be quite a few people on this site plenty pleased with a qb putting up similar numbers for the Skins.

I agree. Not that he shouldnt take any blame, because a good amount shoudl go on him, but when you watch the Lions play (as I'll ussually do if the SKins arent on at the same time), he really hasent been given adequate protection thusfar. In addition, I dont think rookie WR's and RB's are "valuable weapons". They are still learning the game, and while they might be better athletes, they arent nessacarly an upgrade yet at their positions. I think this year, with Roy Williams and Kevin Jones coming into their second seasons, we can really see if Harrington has what it takes. I think he is going to be on a short leash there, but with their offense growing as a whole, he should have a better year.
