Looks like to announce Garcia as the new QB
 
I think this means the Raiders take Russell.

I also wonder if it means the Raiders told Garcia, "You'll be our starter for one year because we plan on taking Russell," and that's where the negotiations broke down.

That's the rumor but how long does Garcia think he has? Chris Simms has got to feel like shit right about now. Well unless we wrangle a deal for Carr, I'd say Russell/Quinn is going to be the pick.

Nah, Al Davis will take either CJ or Petersen and we'll chase a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round (Staton? Smith?)
 
NFL.com has Stanton's NFL comparison as Rich Gannon.
 
More than likely Garcia was scared off after we told him it was a 1 year gig before the reigns are turned over to Quinn-Russell.

Cant say Im upset about passing over a 37 year old QB who only fits on about 5 teams in the league.

Sign Harrington or trade for Carr. Draft a QB.
 
2 year deal @ 5 mill per Tampa Sportstalk
 
Word is they signed Garcia & there trade for Plummer went thru...so if Plummer doesnt retire they have Simms, Garcia & Plummer :p

WTF is up with Tampa collecting all the QB's?... Any chance Blondie turns around and deals Plummer to Tejas now?...


We need a vet QB in at least to hedge the thought of a rook and Walter face planting learning Kiff's playbook... I swear if I have to watch Drew Bledsoe drop anchor in the pocket someone's getting punted in the chicklets...
 
Blessing in disguise. We don't have brian westbrook, and there's no guarantee we get Peterson yet. Furthermore we're implementing an aggressive offensive philosophy that I just don't see gracia running well with his fluttering wobbly passes.

I say make a move for Carr, draft Peterson, sign Chris Brown(if jordan doesn't restructure), and work from there to get a TE and draft a mobile QB(troy smith or drew stanton).

I do hope Tampa elects to move Plummer to Texas to solidify us getting Carr maybe. If not I'd take Harrington over Bledsoe or see what else is available. The Plummer situation does have a the aura of not so good terms between Kubiak and Shannarat. Might be like the Magini/Belichick thing.
 
The Buccaneers and free-agent quarterback Jeff Garcia have reached a contract ageement. The deal will be announced later in the day. It is similar to the one the Bucs gave Chris Simms.
 
Hehe... This is a sarcastic post copied from a Tampa board, those boys sure aren't happy with Gru:


The brilliant mind of Gruden: Quarterback by Committee
For years now we've seen the NFL evolve towards a "runningback by committee" style. The Cowboys had Jones and Barber, the Giants had Tiki and Jacobs, the Colts had Addai and Rhodes....what do these teams have in common? They all made the playoffs.

Now, as we all know, Jon Gruden is king when it comes to offensive scheming. He has brilliantly transformed us from a mediocre offense to a stellar offensive superpower(oh wait...31st in the league in points scored...woops!). There's no doubt that Gruden has seen the "runningback by committee" approach other teams have used. But this is Gruden we're talking about. If runningback by committee works to increase the running game...then how can we increase the passing game? Here it is...Gruden's Patented...

Quarterback by Committee!

Imagine the possibilities! Should we use a horizontal attack? Throw in Garcia. Want to throw a deep ball? Put in Simms. Want to scramble for a few yards? Put in Gradkowski. Want to strategically throw an interception? Put Simms in again...

Why didn't we see this before? He implemented phase 1 of it during the 2006 season. Simms, Gradkowski, Rattay....and I guarantee McCown would have been in had he been healthy. What are the phases, you might ask?

Phase One
Different quarterback each game. By doing this...how can other teams properly gameplan? Do they prepare for the longball? Or maybe the horizontal attack. Should they guard against the mobile quarterback? We saw the beginning workings of this start this year. But, here's what Gruden eventually wants to get to...

Phase Two
The mastermind scheme of Gruden. After the quarterbacks get used to their rotation(3 quarterbacks, at least), here's where it gets tricky. Here's how it works, basically: Every quarterback gets playing time in every game. Brilliant! Now, we can feed off the strengths of each quarterback in every game.

Gruden's been looking for something to call his own...and here it is. Quarterback by Committee. Why haven't any other coaches implemented it? Well, they couldn't understand the verbosity of the playbook.

The man, the myth, the legend.

The legendary Jon Gruden.

Nice, like seeing the ex plumped up parading around town with some new sucker.

Maybe Kiffin adn Al told Garcia that Walter would be competeing for the job? and that we most likely were drafting another Qb as well. Im not gonna cry over a 37 year old limp wristed QB not coming here. We do need some help but lets spend way less money and get one of the guys who was/will be cut, Harrington, B.Johnson, Carr, Kitna, Lefty etc. Some of these guys will shake free. If not i could see us drafting Troy Smith round 4-5 if he falls that far. IN all fairness to Troy he has been ripped by everyone, and he doesnt deserve all the hating. Im not gonna say he will be a star or anything. But the guys #1 knock was he was 5'10, now he has measured at 6 foot twice and people found other stuff to bitch about. He was money at Ohio state and ripped Michigan a new ass, Brady Quinn got his ass ripped vs Michigan. Different teams i know, but Troy looked like a superstar in that Game IMO. If he is their in round 4-5 im think its worth the gamble, hell we drafted a kicker in Rnd1 and he didnt have a Heisman. With this weak free agent class at QB and gambling at #1 is dangerous and expensive. Tro Smith might be a nice back-up/ 3rd string guy. He played with a chip on his shoulder at Ohio and proved everyone wrong, could that happen again. Drew Brees part two or Tommy Frasier!
 
Well the Buc fans all 3 of them seem to think, or theres a rumor going around that the Raiders were along interested in Plummer and struck a deal with th Bucs to trade with Denver then we agree not to sign Garcia and trade with the Bucs for Plummer.

TIFWIW
 
Plummer and Garcia make me wonder who is around next year. I all for a guy who can instill some confidence in our O and runs things smoothly for a year and tutor AW or whoever, but i dont give aq shit if we dont sign any older vets to play QB. Plummer and Garcia will never win a playoff game in S&B.
 
Plummer?

Garcia?

Rattay?

Harrington?

What a shyte FA class...Trade for Carr and (or) draft Russell-Quinn
 
What does it tell you when OG's are getting signed for more than QB's
