Phightins Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Just reported on Daily News Live. I can't find a link as of now, but will post one as soon as possible. Anyway, I'll be damned. Never thought Garcia would sign here for a 2 week period. Or will it be longer than that? [expletive], no clue what's going on here.

fly3rs18 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 haha. i guess the eagles were freaking out as much as everyone else. and its probably a 1 year contract but with incentives about playing this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VicNabb Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I am so pleased with this. I love this guy and never wanted him to leave in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 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. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4472548 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 14, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 You guys should've seen him in the preseason. Plus, he's still probably nursing that injured calf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Andy has said that Kolb is starting no matter what if McNabb is out this week. That's what makes this even more curious to me. I think it's safe to say that Garcia is getting cut as soon as McNabb is healthy. Only reason I could think Garcia would want to come here for 2 weeks is to audition for somebody, but apparently he is not even going to play, he is just an insurance policy for Kolb.

Panthers signed AJ Feeley too, not like he's starting material, but he's better then McCown (the other one) and Matt Morris, who apparently Marty Hurney is STILL enamored with.

Yeah I think the Eagles would have preferred Feeley, but he has a much better opportunity in Carolina. Not hard to see why he went there.

Phightins Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yeah, but on the same token, Andy Reid has an undeniable hard-on for the extroadanairy quarterback that is Kevin Kolb. This is true. However, unlike most Eagles fans who are ready to throw Kolb until the Delaware River, I am not giving up on him yet. I am going to give him a chance to show me something on Sunday. Apparently the Eagles are the only NFL team that does not give the backup QB any snaps with the first team during game week. The only time's that Kolb has really gotten to play have been to replace McNabb in games that were already essentially over by the time he got in. This week Kolb will get to practice with the first team, and assuming he plays (I'd say the chances are very high), the entire game will be his. If he is brutal on Sunday, then you can probably count me in to the group that has him officially labeled as a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Artesticle Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 IN YO FACE!!! Where's the Eagle fans that told me Garcia would never return because he wants to start. ^_^ I was a big fan of his during his short stint here. Not sure what Kolb's going to bring to the table, but I trust Garcia over him and Vick if McNabb's going to be out for an extended amount of time. http://www.nick-waters.com/images/garcia_si.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I remember he was better than McNabb IMO the year he lead them to the playoffs. I think that may be because McNabb was playing wit like a sports hernia or something like. If he's anything like what he was 3-4 years ago they will be fine.

Cobb Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't see McNabb playing in Week 3. If Vick was able to play I would love to see how things play out. The media would be going crazy about starting him. I hope Garcia can do well against the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 What the hell does Andy see in Kolb? He looks completely lost out there on the field. Kolb still has not had a full game, he has only come in for McNabb in games that were already out of hand. He has also never gotten to practice with the first team offense (an Eagles policy that makes no sense to me). But anyway, he will have both of those luxuries this week, so I'd say this is his one and only chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 What the hell does Andy see in Kolb? He looks completely lost out there on the field. Nothing. That's why Andy went out and signed Mike Vick. And now he went out and got Jeff Garcia. Two former pro-bowlers. That doesn't exactly sounds like Andy is confident in Kolb. He doesn't have these pro-bowlers to be 3rd and 4th stringers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
