You make it sound like the Lions are making a conscious effort not to play for Harrington. I don't think it works like that.
The Lion's offensive line is pretty bad. That much was evident from the preseason games. At the same time, however, Joey Harrington has more than enough weapons to overcome poor blocking. I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt(he seems like a nice kid and he was a winner in college), but if he can't put up points with the amount of talent he has at the skill positions...well, something's wrong.
P.S-I'd take Manning over Brady. Both great quarterbacks, though.
