http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/arizona-cardi...r-harnish/


His average salary thus far is $536,474

Not bad 4 years for $2,145,896. Makes more than most of us in 15 - 20 years.

You don't get your contractual amount on the practice squad. The minimum is a little north of 6000 per week, but that figure is negotiable. If you get called up you get a minimum of three weeks (full) salary. So for the one game in Minnesota he was on active roster he made good money. Don't think he's gotten to a million yet but he's made more than most recent graduates.

If he's active roster. Practice squad is a different story.

Are some of us just finding out that even the worst NFL players make good money?

Again, I hope Harnish does well. I've never said anything bad about his character. He seems like a nice guy. But as an unbiased NFL fan, I wouldn't want him as my 2nd string QB. I think anyone with half a brain can understand my point.

I have a 1/4 of a brain and I understand completly.

1/8 brain and I concur. Do they keep 3 QBs on the roster, or 2? If he prepares himself maybe he can show improvement in preseason and maybe he can hook on somewhere as #3 or even #2. Not exactly an easy position especially if you're switching teams and got a whole new playbook.

I'm curious, Big Man, who do you want as your second string QB? As you, with your full brain chugging along as best it can, continuously imply - you feel Chandler Harnish has an inferior skill set.

This is entirely possible, however we have no body of work to substantiate that hypothesis. All we know about Harnish is he was a decidedly good collegiate quarterback who has yet to play in the NFL.

Calm down, Big Man, I know you want to jump right in and say "the reason he hasn't played is he sucks!"

That could be true, but at one point in time, Kurt Warner was bagging groceries before he became an NFL MVP.

I don't agree with your point, so I guess I fall below your half brain standard. Humor me, please, as I try to muster an opinion with my limited intellectual capacity.

I would prefer Chandler Harnish over many second string quarterbacks in the NFL because he represents the unknown. I know what the Seneca Wallace's, the Matt Flynn's, the Jason Campbell's, the Luke McCown's of the NFL bring to the table. Good God - do you remember when the Bears brought in that stiff Todd Collins to back up Cutler?

So again, Big Man, I ask you - who do you want as your backup QB? Do you want one of these career backups that you've seen play numerous times and know aren't good enough to lead a team with any consistency?

There are a handful of teams that are stuck with STARTING quarterbacks that we know aren't good enough to lead a team to the playoffs, so how depleted do you think the backup quarterback field is? Brian Hoyer and Mark Sanchez were two of the top free agent "prizes" this offseason. That is how bad it is.

The days when guys like Steve Fuller, Craig Morton, and Steve DeBerg - talented QB's who settled into roles as backups - are long gone. In this day in age, there are two types of backup QB's; guys we know are not good and guys we have never seen play.

I'll take the guy I've never seen over the guy who has proven himself terrible. I'll take Chandler Harnish, and find out if he, too, is terrible should he ever find his way on the field. If he is, then I'll move on to the next Chandler Harnish and see how he pans out.

I am giving your post a standing ovation. Well said VegasHuskie!

Again, I have to say I trust that the PROFESSIONALS in the NFL- who make their living evaluating players - know more than all of us on this board. They see something or Chandler would not have been with the Colts for 3 years, Minnestoa for a year & just signed with AZ. If there is nothing there, the NFL does not keep people because they like paying hundreds of thousands of $$ in salaries!

Just so we're clear on this, we all realize he's likely just a camp arm and has very little shot of making the team, right?

Nope, he's going to become the greatest QB in NFL history.

But seriously, his biggest hope coming out of camp is the practice squad. Palmer, Stanton & Thomas are all locks to make the team.

Fourth year in the league, don't think he's eligible for it anymore.

I think if Harnish put together a great camp/preseason he could take Thomas' spot, but I see no reason to believe that actually happens at this point.

If nothing else he can try playing in Canada. We could have Harnish vs. Lynch.

They'll be an article up on HustleBelt about Harnish in the next couple days. He pretty much says he doesn't think he'll make the team, and hints about wanting to get into coaching.

I think he would be a great QBs coach. No better place for him to get his feet wet then at his alma mater.

Not that I would know, but my impression is that he would make a good coach.

Until he turns into the next Peej and takes the head coaching job at Toledo.
