Jeff Garcia Has A Poor Memory

I won’t belabor this since I already posted a Jeff Garcia “comeback” entry a month ago and the only real reason to revisit this nonsense is to post a picture of Carmella anyway. But something has to be said about how Garcia sees his role on some unsuspecting NFL team.

“It’s just a matter of that interest stepping over and becoming a reality and somebody offering me a contract and getting the chance to come in and be a part of their team and hopefully be in a role where I can help a young guy out, or be a supportive backup, and go from there.”

When I hear “supportive backup”, I think of the Pips, a briefcase full of legal precedents, and spare jockstraps. I do not think of Jeff Garcia, who will do everything he can to usurp the starting quarterback spot regardless of what he’s saying right now. Even Henry IV thinks this guy is shady. You want to know why Philadelphia let him walk after he had such a good season for them in 2006? Because Andy Reid knew what would happen if he stayed. Stop trying to sleaze your way onto a team by pretending to be content with a backup role, Jeff. Just be this year’s Vinny Testaverde and sit by the phone and wait for someone to call you. And if they don’t, just keep plowing Carmella all the live long day. Seriously, what’s wrong with you, dude?

Oh, and he has some thoughts about Tampa Bay. Guess if they’re self-serving or not.

“I don’t know what the thoughts are from the ownership [Glazers] standpoint, or general manager [Mark Dominik] standpoint, but it’s tough when you’re not necessarily opening the door to free agency to come in and help your team, or try to strengthen your team in a certain way outside of the draft. I mean, to rely on young players in the draft is a difficult position to put your team in in order to be competitive. That’s just something they have to figure out and hopefully they do figure it out.”

“You know what your team needs? An experienced backup who can… just hear me out now… who can take over in case your young guy starts to buckle under the pressure. You know how young players get all flustered and lose their shit right on the field in the middle of a game, right? Oh, yeah. It happens all the time. Who are you going to turn to? Leftwich? Forget him. That guy is shit. Trust me, when Babyface Freeman tosses a pick six in a division game — and he will — you’re going to want ole Jeff G. to step over him and bob and weave this team to a victory, or at least an exciting loss.”
