What’s everyone saying about Graham Harrell?
The Green Bay Packers announced yesterday that quarterback Graham Harrell is to be released. Scott Rovak-USA TODAY Sports photograph
Graham Harrell seemed like a nice enough guy. He wasn’t overbearing, didn’t come off in the press as verbose, seemed like the kind of guy from next door.
He just wasn’t good enough to stick with the Green Bay Packers and back up one of the best, if not THE best quarterback in all the land. That’s why the Packers announced yesterday that they were going to cut him, essentially leaving the door open for Vince Young to be the Packers backup quarterback.
But what about Harrell? The nice guy’s name was all over Twitter yesterday; some nice comments, some realistically brutal.
What did you and other write about him?
Well today we’ve put together some of the tweets left about the former Packer. Check them out below, say goodbye to him and welcome Vince Young:
Dear Rex Ryan: Graham Harrell is available. Don't laugh. He's still better than what you've got.

Kinda stunned but not that Graham Harrell was released.

Graham Harrell was cut by #Packers yesterday, maybe #Bills can grab him!

Rarely write columns. Been told I'm not opinionated enough. So here's my opinion on Graham Harrell on @ESPNMilwaukee: http://t.co/n5kIsHMl6a

Pretty impressive that once-downtrodden Vince Young has won Packers' backup QB job http://t.co/yHa1TGMGQ4

In 4 preseasons with Packers, Harrell was 111-of-195 (56.9%) at 5.4 YPA and just 5 TDs versus 4 INTs + 7 fumbles http://t.co/6fNYAe2YaZ

This column by @jasonjwilde (on Graham Harrell) has a little bit different of a feel. It's very good: http://t.co/hh7YpSSeCX

Liked Graham personally, but this is a business. RT @packernation93: What do you think of the releasing of Graham Harrell? #GoPackGo

I'm quite glad that this Graham Harrell thing is over. He looked AWFUL last night and has basically looked that way in games that mattered.

Graham Harrell played his way out the door at Green Bay. Vince Young is almost surely a lock at the backup for Aaron Rodgers. B.J. Coleman?

Hoping for the best for Graham Harrell and all his future endeavors. Took a lot of criticism in his time here.
