Which of these two do you think should be the starting QB for the Detroit Lions?? I have been absolutely shocked at how Harrington has played in his first two NFL seasons, and if his performance last night against the Rams was any indication of how he's going to play this season, then I predict that Jeff Garcia will be taking his starting spot early into the regular season. I personally think they should let Harrington play the first few games, and then make a decision based on his performance, as to whether he should start or not. What do you all think??

If Jeff Garcia starts for you, good luck. I saw what he did in Cleveland last year, and he looked horrible. He was a waste in Cleveland, way worse than Harrington has ever been.

I am going to break down each player as detailed and thorough as I can.

Jeff Garcia: Used to be mediocre, now is bordering the line that devides mediocre and bad.

Joey Harrington: Sucks, but is progressing to the level of 'bad'.

Seriously, this team's offense would be the most exciting to watch since the Greatest Show on Turf (2000 Rams, I think)..if only they had a good QB on their roster. In all fairness, Harrington's bad quarterbacking could be attributed to their piss-poor offensive line. They have quite possibly, the most talented corps of wide receivers the NFL has ever seen, but no QB to throw them the ball.

Guess your question has been answered.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (Sept. 2, 2005) -- Lions backup quarterback Jeff Garcia could miss the regular season after breaking his left leg in the team's preseason finale against Buffalo.

Coach Steve Mariucci said during halftime that X-rays revealed Garcia broke his fibula. Mariucci added that the player will have further tests Sept. 3 to determine whether he also sprained his left ankle.

Garcia was hurt at the end of a 23-yard run when he caught his left foot on the turf as he was hit across the neck by Bills cornerback Terrence McGee. Garcia, who scampered into a wide-open hole, was just beginning to slide when he was hit.

He lay on the field in pain for several minutes, but able to move his ankle as trainers attended to him. Garcia, however, was unable to put any weight on his left foot as he was helped onto a cart and driven to the team's locker room.

Garcia, a seven-year veteran who signed with Detroit as a free agent in March, started the game in place of Joey Harrington, held out because of a groin injury. Garcia was 4-of-8 for 33 yards passing and had two rushes for 29 yards before he was hurt.

Rookie fifth-round pick Dan Orlovsky took over for Garcia.

Garcia was only good when he had Terrell Owens to throw to.

Garcia was mediocre at best. And downright horrible in Cleveland last year.

I agree.

Well..that certainly doesn't HELP their chances of winning the division. But I doubt it hurts a whole lot, either. That sucks though, to get hurt in the final preseason game, and possibly be out for the whole year.
