The Joey Jinx?

A trend seems to be in the making. Following a less-than-stellar stint in Detroit (not entirely his fault), quarterback Joey Harrington is sent to the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins, still searching for their next Marino, had just completed a deal to bring Daunte Culpepper to Miami as the next candidate and Harrington seemed content to hold the clipboard. A few weeks into the season Harrington is the starter and Daunte is riding the bench on his way to Oakland. That was last season...

Harrington signs with Atlanta following the departure of reliable backup Matt Shaub to Houston. Again, Joey seems content to be in the second chair behind the face of the franchise Mike Vick. A short time later Vick is indicted on Federal charges involving his alleged operation of a dog-fighting ring. Now it seems that Vick will be suspended for a portion if not all of this season. For now Harrington is stepping into the lead role and taking "his team" into competition.

So if you are a starting QB in the NFL and Joey Harrington is signed as your backup should you start looking at your options? Forget the Madden Curse and bring on the Harrington Hex!
