Garcia signs with Eagles

PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb is not ruling himself out for the Eagles' game against New Orleans next Sunday despite suffering a cracked rib on Sunday. Philadelphia got some insurance on Monday, just in case.

The Eagles reached agreement with quarterback Jeff Garcia, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. Garcia, a 10-year veteran, played for Philadelphia in 2006 and went 5-1 in six starts in relief of an injured McNabb.

Good move for the Eagles. Garcia is familiar with their system and did a good job filling in for Don a few years back.

There was supposed to have been tension between McNabb and Garcia last time, hence Philly's decision to let him go.

There was a faction of Philly fans that wanted the team to keep Garcia and trade McNabb. Throw that in with the Vick fans and you've got the potential for the wildest QB controversy of all time.

Curious move - I'm wondering if this signals that the Eagles are not confident in Michael Vick's ability to be a starting quarterback in a pinch.

Well, there might be some truth there. But if they didn't sign anyone, they are going into week 2 with Kolb and an injured McNabb, since Vick can't play until week 3.

So, they'd basically be facing the Saints with only one available QB. I don't think any team wants to do that.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
