Deconstructing Michael Harmon Part 2

Maybe it's because I just got back from a 'beer tasting event' that one of my neighbors threw, but I just can't help but comment on FoxSports' Michael Harmon's latest article.

As you'll recall, he 'went out on a limb' and ranked the top 15 QBs (aka. "the top 50%") in an earlier article. Now he's basically calling the next 25% 'sleepers'. It's like he took a shotgun to a dartboard and any name he hit became a 'sleeper'. And what's more, he updated his top 15 QBs to list John Kitna, a 'sleeper', at #15!!!! How can he be both??!!!! Same question regarding McNabb, who's #6!!!

You want a TRUE sleeper? How about Chad Pennington? Both Laverneus Coles and Jericho Cotchery were in the top 30, according to Michael, and Thomas Jones is a top 30 RB. So what about Chad? The guy FINALLY has a season where he stays healthy and he's NOT even worthy of a 'sleeper' tag???

Mark it down RIGHT NOW: Chad Pennington - sleeper QB. To quote Bill Simmons, "By the way, I'm drunk again."
