...thus completing the Patriots run-through of every player Oakland has cut from their 2008 roster.

Best insurance policy I can think of. I'd take Garcia as starter for about half the league.

My guess is someone will be put on the IR if the Garcia story develops and we sign him.

If this happens, I'll have been just a week too soon.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

I wanted this guy during the offseason and then after Oakland cut him and then after Philly cut him. I think he's a perfect backup for Brady at this point. He's a QB who limits his mistakes, manages the game, and doesn't turn the ball over. He'd be great for our dink and dunk spread offense. The only concern would obviously be the long ball to Moss.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

I am surprised that none of these teams with NO offfense didn't pick him up. Like someone said, he's better than about half the QB's playing today.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Garcia is a good QB and gets a bad rap. The guy was personally picked by Bill Walsh, and generally plays a pretty smart game when he's in there.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Cool. He can come in for some garbage time reps after we blow out the jets 76-0 in two weeks.

 

[mgteich]

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

fine with me

I wanted him on the 53-man roster to start the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

As folks have said, the question is who would go the IR list.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

so who is being cut now if he is signed?

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Just when I think all is quiet on the Patriots front...KAPOW! You'd think I'd know better by now.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Not my first choice, but maybee he is doing some shoping at Patriot place

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

They're going to have him learn a 7 year old playbook and release him so Sexy Rexy can pick him up and make him a captain.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Doesn't he (or didn't he) throw like Peyton Manning?

Garcia is one of only seven quarterbacks in NFL history that have achieved two consecutive thirty-touchdown passing seasons (2000 and 2001) at least one time in their career. The others are Steve Bartkowski, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, and Y.A. Tittle. He is also one of only twelve quarterbacks to throw a 99 yard touchdown pass

.Jeff Garcia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I bet he does a great imitation of Peyton Not that a veteran back-up isn't a great idea but I still like the timing of this one. Nice move BB!

EDIT: Here are the other 10 99 yarders: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99–yard_pass_play

I'd say Arrington, if Wilhite is healthy.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

I also like this move. He's smart, consistent and reliable. I don't see him as a threat to Hoyer, but more as insurance. Happy to have him aboard.

Re: Flash: Garcia on flight to Boston

Maybe he's going to change his name and sign with the practice squad.

Realistically, I like the move a lot, if that's what it is, but I don't like the idea that anyone we have is being cut/IR'd (except maybe Ohrnberger heading for a red-shirt season).

Let's not get ahead of ourselves; it's not even known if this rumor is true or if he's just, as the report says, going to see friends.
