Saints quarterback Joey Harrington said he will focus on doing his job and turn a blind eye to the chance that he might be the odd man out if head coach Sean Payton keeps only two quarterbacks going into the regular season -- Drew Brees, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, and Mark Brunell, a proven veteran who turns 39 in two weeks. Teams must pare their rosters to 53 active players by 3 p.m. Saturday, leaving Saints officials with 22 player moves before the league deadline. "That's not in my control," Harrington said when asked to handicap his chances of making the final roster. "Somebody else's decision is completely out of my control. I don't bother myself with things that I can't control anymore. I can't say that it (being waived) hasn't crossed my mind. But I don't waste my time thinking about it. "'ve got other things to do. I've got a game plan to study. I've got film to watch. It's wasted energy to think about all the other stuff that could happen if this happens or that happens. In the time you've wasted about that stuff, you could have done five other things to help your situation. It's not something I waste my time with anymore." Source: The Times-Picayune
Sean Payton is great at coaching quarterbacks. Harrington has improved under Payton, but I would still prefer Brunell as Brees' back up.
