this is quite funny

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

Joey Harrington has never got good protection. It's a stretch saying he'd be Tom Brady but he could be a very good QB in such circumstances.

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

a lot of it is the QB himself. if the QB makes quick decisions and gets rid of the ball then he doesnt get sacked or hurried. Brady does have a lot time but even in the past our oline has played quite well. its now that we are averaging 41pts per game people are realizing NE has an oline.

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

When Harrington played in Miami he got rid of the ball very quickly which resulted in a lot of poor decisions. Not necessarily disagreeing with you, just saying Harrington has never had a fair shake.

Houston with David Carr = worst O-line in football!

Houston with Matt Schaub = we don't hear about them!

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

Tom uses the pocket like nobody I've ever seen since Marino. I doubt that Harrington could do that.

I know Jon Kitna can't. I watched the guy abuse the pocket the other day and just shook my head, "Tom would have stepped up one or two steps and had plenty of time." Instead Kitna sort of waltzed right into the rush. Dumb.

Most plays behind this line may not require such footwork but when it's required, I doubt that Joey Harrington would feel his way around that pocket like Tom or Marino. And there is the sack, or the hurry and the pick, and there goes the drive, the momentum, and the other guys get their offense on the field again.

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

I agree, I like Harrington and hope he gets another shot in a good system. Did you see Miami's OL last year? (even you have to agree with that fact Aqua...)

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

He didn't say they were the same.

He's making a point. Kind of dumb because although Brady gets time, if he didn't he still wouldn't be sacked, as he'd get rid of the ball to a receiver on a short route.

Plus they don't blitz him as much because they know that he can dodge one or two and then hit someone deep.

So he kind of makes his own time. He misses that.

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

Yes, many QBs would be good behind Brady's line this year. Another relevant fact is that Brady has been good his entire career, even when his offensive line wasn't very good.

Re: Brady=Joey Harrington
 

harrington behind pats oline = decent
brady behind pats oline = out of this world

what separates brady from harrington more than anything else... 2 things:
1. pocket presence
2. football IQ
