But of course, I welcome the fix. <BR/><BR/>I see the parallels between Garcia and Warner, but I think they end once we talk about what Warner could do on the field and how a coach would utilize him. <BR/><BR/>If he's brought in here under the pretext of being a backup, then that's fine. If Warner were to naturally win the job in training camp competition, that would be fine too. It's if Warner is brought in here under an agenda - as Garcia clearly was - that I would have a problem with signing him. I think he's shown he's not a capable 16-game starter anymore. <BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I think he's absolutely a great fit for the Lions. Besides the fact that he could actually play when called upon, he'd be an excellent mentor for Harrington as he learns Martz's system.Ian C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01249763037058741373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1139845956620653322006-02-13T10:52:00.000-05:002006-02-13T10:52:00.000-05:00Forgive me for what I'm about to say...Yes, I like...Forgive me for what I'm about to say...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I like bringing in Warner. He IS NOT the savior. NO WAY, NOT A ALL. However, he is the best QB on the FA market, and I trust him a butt load more to step in and play than I did Garcia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1139799088314323892006-02-12T21:51:00.000-05:002006-02-12T21:51:00.000-05:00I agree with the proviso that Warner is the CLEAR ...I agree with the proviso that Warner is the CLEAR backup to Harrington. I'm not a huge Harrington fan, but if Joey is on the roster he had better be starting considering how much cap space he takes up and the fact that he has more upside than anyone else the Lions can bring in (except via trade). <BR/><BR/>I don't want to see any repeat of Mariucci's mealy-mouthed "We have two great pitchers" nonsense. If I don't hear Marinelli or Mike Martz say "Joey Harrington is my starting quarterback. Period." then you might as well chalk up another lost season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
