It was all over local tv news and the papers. i live in philly so i remember that. Basically he said if he was not going to be given a chance to compete for the starting job he would rather look elsewhere and he hoped the eagles would be upfront with him about their plans. Then it becaoem the big worry.....what if the eagles tell him mcnabb is the starter no matter what and he leaves and then mcnabb is not ready in sept and isnt ready until midseason, who is going to start if garcia leaves, and is it right to try and give garcia the illusion he could be the starter to get him to stick around then benh him when mcnabb is ready.
But, dont mistake me for implying that garcia came out in an interview and said i have to be a starter wherever i go, he never made that kind of statement, just was upfront about not wanting to be on a team where the only chance he had of starting was due to an injury to someone else.
But then again, what he wants and what he'll take for a job when push comes to shove may be 2 different things.
