Jeff Garcia signs with Eagles

[cowboyjoe]

McNabb according to Reid is out for the next 2 weeks

yep, its going to be interesting, now with McNabb, Vick, Kolb and Garcia as QBs, might start a QB controversy

who did the eagles release to sign garcia?

I still think Jeff is a really good QB. He may be old but he really can make an opponent miserable.

Is Jeffy still gay?

(not that there is anything wrong with that)

Google his wife.

Google his wife.

I'm sure there's quite a few guys that would absolutely love to.

You beat me to the punch!


He wants me to "google" her? I have other things in mind...

Until Andy Reid has enough faith in any of his quarterbacks to run his offense, you can be sure that he'll be leaning heavily on his running game. How long that before he's comfortable with McNabb's temporary replacement depends on the particular quarterback.

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Because he was their number one pick 2 years ago. Hello McFly?

So you continue to hold on to a BUST because he was your number 1 pick?

Feeley signed with the Panthers also.



Quarterback carousel turns: Garcia to Eagles, Feeley to Panthers
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 14, 2009 5:09 PM ET
We usually try to limit PFT posts to one major topic, but two stories broke Monday afternoon that are unquestionably connected, and deserve to be together.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Jeff Garcia has agreed to a contract to return to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Meanwhile, A.J. Feeley has decided to join the Panthers, apparently spurning overtures from Philadelphia, according to multiple reports.

The Panthers could not wait around for Josh McCown's foot to heal, and wanted another quarterback option on the roster. Feeley could eventually threaten to take over Jake Delhomme's starting job, and his presence is a sign that the Panthers may not be that high on Matt Moore. (So is the fact that Moore was behind McCown on the depth chart.)

Garcia's signing is fascinating.

The 39-year-old quarterback wasn't too pleased with the organization two years ago when the Eagles didn't make an aggressive move to re-sign him after Garcia led the team to the playoffs after the 2006 season. (They choose Feeley.)

That the Eagles would feel it necessary to bring back Garcia now may indicate that McNabb's rib injury could take a little longer than anticipated, and the team isn't too confident in Michael Vick's progress as a true option at quarterback.

Yes, they need a backup quarterback for this week. But taking on Garcia and his baggage means that he could have a significant role on the Eagles for a while.

It also indicates the team could be concerned with the play of Kevin Kolb, who did not look good in relief of McNabb once again Sunday.

 

[cowboyjoe]

ok since the eagles signed garcia, whom did they cut to get down to 53 players?

It would surprise me none if McNabb played this week.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

its smart on their part, you dont know if mcnabb can stay healthy this year;
garcia has played there before and knows the system

Not to mention, the guy has put up some impressive numbers in his career.

 

[JonJon]

Well they had to get somebody. You can't go into a game with only 1 Qb on the active roster.

Until Andy Reid has enough faith in any of his quarterbacks to run his offense, you can be sure that he'll be leaning heavily on his running game. How long that before he's comfortable with McNabb's temporary replacement depends on the particular quarterback.

That would be a first. Reid never leans on his running game.

When Vick is reinstated...Mcnabb will be cut

 

[JonJon]

When Vick is reinstated...Mcnabb will be cut

That might be a tad much Lol, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him traded before the deadline.

In recent years there was talk about him going back home to Chicago. Who knows? The Bears look like they still need a QB.

Not a chance this year.

 

[Taz]

I figured that would happen. He is better than Feeley. I wonder who they cut to make room on the roster. More importantly, who do they cut once McNabb is back healthy and Vick is reinstated. They can't keep 4 QBs, can they?

they will cut mcnabb, they are tired of all his injuries

 

[FLcowboy]

wow...that is interesting...

wonder if it is for a couple of weeks or more long term... that says something about Kolb, methinks...

I'd guess it will be for at least this year. Vick will be available for Week 3, and "knows" the playbook. Kolb looked pretty average when he came in, maybe even worse than that.

McNabb, Vick, Kolb, and now Garcia. No Super Bowl QB there.
