JEFF GARCIA

[Bretsky]

Why would we not bring this guy in ?

Is he a locker room cancer or just a bad guy ? Seems like he'd done well for several teams lately but keep getting a bad deal..........or is it his character ?

To me he was clearly the QB in Oakland that gave them a shot to win. And they ax'd him.

He seems like the proto type backup QB for a winning team. You can bring him in for a few games and he can win.

Thoughts ?

You only want him here because of his smoking hot girlfriend.

Fritz said he was a whiner and complainer while in Detroit. He played very well in Philly and fans were clamoring for him to stay over McNabb, but he got pushed out of the door. Then Tampa boots him.

I can't tell you what it is but that is not a good track record. And he has apparently not been happy as backup as Philly or Tampa would have kept him.

[SkinBasket]

I think his only problem is he usually plays better than whichever QB the team wants to be the starter.

[DonHutson]

The problem is that he's been good enough to start, but he's too old to be a viable long term option. Therefore, it's been a while since he's been on a team that really wanted him to start.

I think he'd be a very good pick up. He should know going in he has no chance to start, so he shouldn't be too upset when he doesn't play. I'd certainly rather pick Garcia up off the street than give up a draft pick for McCown from Tampa.

But hontestly if AROD goes down Garcia could win some games while he recovers.

But if he's a bad chemistry guy you pass

He outperformed Russell in the pre-season but if he was any part of a divided locker room I can see why he was cut

[gbgary]

i think he'd be a great back-up if he's willing to take the roll without complaint. never heard anyone say anything negative about him except that stupid T.O.

[vince]

I'd be OK with Garcia, even though I think TT/MM have confidence in Flynn and will ride with him as #2.

[Fred's Slacks]

Depends on what they see Flynn's role being. I say only pick him up if you still see Flynn as a developmental type and not a ready backup that can help you win. If Flynn is ready, no need to use that roster spot on another back up type. Otherwise, I think Garcia is a great fit.

[pbmax]

Well, we got our injured reserve questions answered. Yes, you can put more than 3 on it and you can still sneak people through.

Evan Moore is on injured reserve with a finger injury suffered early in camp. He has been practicing for most of the past month.

[Pugger]

Unless cutting Garcia was a salary cap move, do we really want a guy who couldn't cut it in OAKLAND?

[pbmax]

One scout trashed Meredith for McGinn. But I wonder how much of the explanation was based on rumor prior to the draft versus actual analysis of tape and play.

“He doesn’t compete and he gets beat,” one scout said. “I think he’s soft. Pretty good foot athlete. . . . He doesn’t like football.”

[VegasPackFan]

If you bring in Garcia to this team, he is implicitly agreeing to being the back up and back up only. There is no way he could think to usurp AR's status and position here. So I say if he agrees, GET HIM!!!!!

[RashanGary]

I wouldn't be opposed to Garcia, but I'm a big Flynn fan. We can win with Flynn. Garcia would be #3.

Garcia was looking to start in Tampa, wasn't he? I don't think he's going to agree to be #3 anywhere.
