How is Garcia lower on the depth chart than Vick? That makes no sense...

Garcia was released last week, but it says the news about Vick was released 12 hours ago.

EDIT: My bad, Garcia was released Tues. My days are all screwed up from traveling to that GOD AWFUL Dallas game. :(

Somebody isn't checking their story before running it to print it appears. I don't see an exact date for this link, but they do talk about Kolb running the offense for the last 2 weeks.

:out:

The link listed in the OP isn't actually the original source. It's quoting a Yahoo sports item found here: (link)

The Yahoo item was posted Tuesday at 8:30am. Garcia was released about five hours later that day.

I don't see Reid getting rid of his new toy this early.......he hasn't had time to play with it enough yet. Although in the off season I can definitely see it happening, which would make his signing by the Eagles a great move (so long as it doesn't ruin this season in anyway).

I can, under certain conditions.

If, say, Donovan McNabb has been continuing to say in private what he previously said in public (i.e. "Coach, this just isn't working") that, coupled with the fact that Kevin Kolb has looked pretty good could lead to it happening.

Garcia's being released, however, makes it less likely. But who knows? Reid could tell Garcia "Stay by your phone, and if we can get something in trade for Vick, we'll pick you back up".

In the end, I don't think it'll happen. For one, his on-field product to date has been nothing special. And I don't know that anyone needs him badly enough to actually give up something the Eagles would want in return.

But again, you never know.

(and before anybody even brings it up, there is zero chance the Panthers trade for him) :nonod:

Yeah I don't see it either trading him this early.

There is nothing Vick is going to be able to bring to another team mid season, he has little value at this point in time.

The longer he stays with the eagles and shows he can still play the game the more the Eagles can rape another team for him in the off season.

& I still don't think McNabb is turned off by the Vick experience as the media makes it out to be

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
