T master Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 If we might need some veteran experience & someone to help as far as teaching our young QB contingent, that could be a viable starter as well as a good back up with a winning history in his career . I have often wondered what some Bills fans might think about signing a Jeff Garcia ??? He was a winner in the CFL & has been a winner in the NFL . He has adaptability , has played in the elements , & as far as i know wouldn't command a huge contract & would probably be a good leader in the locker room . So what do you think ??

I like Garcia, but the way I look at it is we are in a rebuilding mode and in my opinion it doesn't make much sense to bring in any veteran FA QB with the intentions of accomplishing something with him this coming up season.( not that we don't want to accomplish something)

Not a bad idea but i doubt we would ever sign him. He would be a great leader in the locker room. which is a huge thing the bills have been lacking for awhile.
SawchukBills Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Sign him. I'm assuming there is a lack of interest in him - i.e. won't take much to land him. Couldn't hurt...cut him if it doesn't work out...just like D. Rhodes.
coldstorage5 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Jeff Garcia at 40 years old is not the answer. There is a reason why he wasn't in th NFL last yr.
stuckincincy Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I certainly appreciate veteran leadership, but isn't the QB coach that teams have supposed to "mentor" the QBs?
Celtic_soulja Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Garcia is washed up...you fill up the coaching staff with leadership and no playing ability not the roster
GOBILLS78 Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 You might be on to something here. Start Garcia, bring in Jeff George as the backup and give Browning Nagle a shot at third string.

He has adaptability , has played in the elements , & as far as i know wouldn't command a huge contract & would probably be a good leader in the locker room . So what do you think ?? Whats the benefit of bringing in Garcia? At his age, he wont play more than a year or so, so unless you think this team is a SB contender with him and not one without him (ala Vikings and Favre) then bringing in someone like him makes no sense what so ever. All it does is slow down the development of our young guys like Brohm and maybe a rookie if we also draft a guy. Honestly, we are not going to make a serious leap forward in 2010 unless we bring in someone like McNabb...so if the QB isnt on that level, then I say lets see what Brohm can do so we know if we need to draft a QB next year or not. Brohm has as much upside as any guy coming out this year at this point, plus he has 2 years to better adjust to the NFL and some time in Buffalo already to build some rapport with the rest of the offense and staff. So let Brohm battle for the #1 spot, if he cant claim it over the course of this season or atleast show he is progressing to it, then we go into next years draft with QB the #1 priority. Then we can use this draft, which is deep in our other position of needs like in the trenches to fill our other holes.
PushthePile Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Jeff Garcia doesn't have the reputation as a great locker room guy. I think fans (myself included) tend to assume that these older players with plenty of experience, are likely strong additions to the locker room and willing to teach. It's not always the case.
Lori Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 You might be on to something here. Start Garcia, bring in Jeff George as the backup and give Browning Nagle a shot at third string. Don't want George here. He'd bring Jason Whitlock with him, to write about how he should be the starter ...
gobillsinytown Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 You might be on to something here. Start Garcia, bring in Jeff George as the backup and give Browning Nagle a shot at third string. Don't forget Akili Smith.
cantankerous Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Players are for playing, coaches are for coaching. I never understood why people think the backup QB has to be a 35-40 year old washed up "mentor"
Albany,n.y. Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 Don't forget Akili Smith. Why settle for Akili Smith? Tim Couch was drafted #1 the same year Smith was picked, so he has more upside.
T master Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 You might be on to something here. Start Garcia, bring in Jeff George as the backup and give Browning Nagle a shot at third string. Every body likes a little a** but no body likes a smart a**
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Garcia has never been a good backup that's why he got cut from Oakland. He has such an attitude, if he doesn't start over the young player he's better than, he becomes a problem. He's not the teaching kind. That's why he didn't get picked up.

So what do you think ?? why not Jim Thorpe
