I like Harrell... but I guess I want a guy I feel has more upside. PS is for to take chances with a guy with good potential but not NFL ready. If everything went perfect for Harrell he'll be what? The next Jeff Garica? That's not bad at all... but in my mind someone with Tom Brady potential just seems like more worth taking a risk on.
Don't get me wrong potential doesn't mean much... other than in the draft... but a guy like say QB Kevin O'Connell has TONS of potential if Mike McCarthy can fix what ever his problem is (which I don't know what it is and yes I know some problems you just can't fix). But I think he's problem is mental and footwork (because he has all the physical talent (at least he did in the draft)). Mike McCarthy may not be able to fix the mental but the footwork he can fix and the mental problems may become fixable when the footwork is fixed.
But Mike McCarthy school might be just what he needs to upstart his career again.

Yeah, ideally by the time we need a new starting QB Harrell will be near the end of his playing years. However, the huge upside here is that if we can keep developing him, we can either trade him or Flynn for a lot more than we'd get for him now.
