Completely different circumstances. Besides, Harrington is a servicable backup QB. I'd feel better with him as my #2 than I'm sure a lot of NFL fans feel with theirs, to be honest. He takes a lot of shit because of how good he was supposed to be... but he's not that bad by backup QB standards -- if the Falcons had foreseen all of this they'd have kept Schaub, who at least has potential, but they got Harrington for what they thought he'd be... a backup. And for the record, I think he'll suprise some people and be pretty decent this year. Just a hunch. But I digress...
Teams will avoid Vick and it sure as hell ain't because of his skill set, aside from the aspect of having to tailor their schemes to it. The guy can sit for two years and he'll still have enough talent and physical ability to land him somewhere on an NFL roster -- though whether or not he's all that good of a QB is questionable to begin with. Teams will avoid Michael Vick because nobody wants to deal with that public relations nightmare. Nobody wants PETA picketing outside of their games and practices. I think the CFL is a question mark since CFL GM's protested the Argonauts signing Ricky Williams.
