I know that Garcia can still be a starter in this league. He will be a starter somewhere. He does not want to be a backup.
He easily could start for CLE, ARI, SD, BALT..haha...j/k, MIA, or even Dallas. I don't think all those teams could afford him, but he will be a starter somwhere. I hope so anyway. He still has a few solid years left in the tank.

I think this would be a great move for Atlanta. They clearly can't go with Doug Johnson or Kurt Kittner as back-ups. Garcia is too injury-prone to be a full-time starter, but would be an excellent #2 guy. This makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, this makes great sense. 2 injury prone QBs(1 according to Philly), the other according to his track record, playing for the same team!

Well, according to one mass-media source and numerous LOCAL sources on "the Gridiron Newsstand", Tampa's now sniffin' around, too:
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/football/nfl/03/08/garcia.bucs/ind ex.html;
http://bucs.tbo.com/bucs/MGAG7R1ZJRD.html;
http://www.sptimes.com/2004/03/08/Bucs/QB_Garcia_in_Tampa_fo.shtml;
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/football/pro/buccaneers/orl-spt-bu cs030804,1,4386569.story?coll=orl-bucs.
Stranger things surely have happened, but I wouldn't believe the hype this time. Time will tell, though.

From what I've read, it seems pretty certain that Garcia is heading to Tampa. I know this must be shocking news to certain Brad Johnson owners (hmm, wonder who that could be...), but the CNN/SI piece seems to have more corroboration than the ESPN piece. If Dad says he's headed to Tampa, then I believe he is headed to Tampa.

Well, ESPN, available on "the Gridiron Newsstand" might I add  , is, alas, finally reporting about "DAD's" VERY suspect proclamation:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=1753940.
Still, they did their homework and do not blow this "rumor" started by daddy out of proportion. They indicate that no deal with Tampa is imminent. In other words, to those that are writing this in stone...  ...

I think he would be a better fit in TB, but could still end up in CLE, but i doubt it. He wants a ring and CLE is too far away.
The offer from CLE is a 2 yr deal for $8M with a $4-5M bonus included. I heard Jeff wanted a 3-4 year deal and a decent signing bonus$4-5M. I hope he gets what he deserves. I wish that MIA would have gone for him.
Maybe I spoke too soon. Just got this off the Kfflhotwire:
"The Gilroy Dispatch reports free agent QB Jeff Garcia (49ers) is headed to Tampa Bay to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His signing is expected to be announced at a press conference later this week and is slated to land a three- or four-year deal worth between $15 million and $20 million according to his father, Bobby Garcia. "He's going to Florida," said Garcia's father. "This is a fresh start. He's going in there with guns drawn, fully loaded. He's going to give it his best shot. He said, 'Dad, I'm totally committed now. This is a new step in my life.' " The Buccaneers, as of Monday, March 8, would not confirm or deny the deal and a spokesman for the Buccaneers said no press conference has been scheduled."
His dad is not Jeff, but this is the $ and time span he is lookng for. It looks like it is more of a done deal than some guys thought.

Screw you, Joe! That's what you decide to bring up in this post. I got it right here and you point that BS out. Like the Couch supporters were right, right? Both sides of that debate were wrong. So, you would have had me comin' and goin', anyway. If I had been a Couch supporter, you would have said, "Steggie was right about Couch. Oops, no he wasn't!" Anyway, ultimately, that was a different debate, assweed. That was strictly a Couch-versus-Holcomb debate, period. I can already imagine the really condescending, patronizing and passive-aggressive response I'll get.
