Settling in

ATLANTA -- When it comes to athleticism, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Joey Harrington will never be mistaken for Michael Vick.
But after watching him here in the first quarter at the Georgia Dome, I’m impressed. Yes, it’s only a preseason game, but he’s shown off some nimble feet and a lively throwing arm.
More importantly, he hasn’t thrown into double coverage, committed any turnovers or done the mind-numbing things that caused people to write him off when he was in Detroit.
Harrington just directed a smart, 10-play, 80-yard touchdown drive to give the Falcons an early lead against Cincinnati. He’s 6-for-6 for 76 yards so far, and his 28-yard scoring strike to Adam Jennings was a thing of beauty. Working with five receivers out of the shotgun, Harrington looked off the safety before laying a beautiful ball into Jennings' hands on a post-corner route.
I’m becoming convinced Harrington may be better than advertised.
However, I remain unconverted on the possibility of the Falcons being anything more than a 7-9 team this season.
