WALEOVECHKIN Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Just came across as breaking news at the end of sportscenter...Link forthcoming On ESPNs homepage it has a link stating "Sources: Eagles and Garcia agree to terms" but the link isn't to that story. It should be ups shortly Schefter on NFL Live, confirms the Garcia to Eagles deal and says former Eagle and Dolphins great AJ Feeley has signed with the Carolina Panthers link finally up Source 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 NFL Insider 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wow.... Good move in that he is familiar with the o....doesn't give a very big vote of confidence to Kolb and Vick though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Is McNabb that jacked up? I mean you don't sign Jeff Garcia to cut him two weeks later. So they're carrying 4 QB's now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenic Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I knew it wouldnt be long before someone grabbed him up.. Garcia's an efficient QB, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I heard this. Am I the only one who sees the potential disaster in waiting here? Vick, Kolb, McNabb and now Gracia? Seriously? You want to talk about potential QB controversy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanboyOf91 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 And I thought McNabb vs. Vick would be a good QB controversy. Now I get to watch a Mexican standoff between McNabb, Vick, and Garcia! :munchout: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklight1216 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 They're collecting quarterbacks like they think they're the Buccaneers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairRedskin Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Apparently Kolb sucks a lot of ass. I just heard on ESPN that he's turned the ball over 1/3 of the time he's played. 1/3rd!! That's ridiculous. Garcia is a good move for them. I feel bad for McNabb even though I think he's a needy jackass because it looked like that pain he was in on the field was excruciating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy8467 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Maybe Kolb will be cut soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Now the Eagles have 3 QBs on their roster better than Jason Campbell. Tr1 should love this move. He talked constantly about how great Garcia was when the Eagles didn't resign him. This move tells me the Eagles are serious about winning the games that McNabb can't start and that they know Kolb isn't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueinBuf Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wasn't Garcia pissed when the Eagles cut him back 2 or 3 years ago? What if he's just signing to play and purposely lose the games to get his revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tr1 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Tr1 should love this move. He talked constantly about how great Garcia was when the Eagles didn't resign him. Was I right about Kolb? DM is done in Philly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westbrook36 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 DM is done in Philly. Care to give a time reference on that? Done right now; never to start again? Done at the end of this year? Done in 2 years? Done in 3 years? I think you love the potential drama but hate the move because it makes the Eagles stronger so you will incorrectly assert this is going to hurt the Eagles and McNabb instead of correctly focusing on that this is an indictment of Kolb more than anyone. Jason Campbell! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Wow....Good move in that he is familiar with the o....doesn't give a very big vote of confidence to Kolb and Vick though... Vick can't play this week. This is a good move, if Garcia is in bad shape, or Kolb or Feeley Ain't ready? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sentimental47 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Eagles need to at least start Kolb to find out if he 's the successor to McNabb [doubtful]. McNabb isn't going anywhere. Vick will never start in Philly because it would be a knee jerk reaction. Garcia is there as a insurance policy. I see Vick being traded before the trade deadline.

bishtw Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here the link to Feeley in Carolina. http://content.usatoday.com/communities/thehuddle/post/2009/09/qb-carousel-spinning-eagles-sign-jeff-garcia-panthers-add-aj-feeley/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yes, Feeley was cut after training camp. He signed with Carolina because they can offer him a job for the entire season, while the Eagles can only really offer a job for the next two weeks. They needed to sign a QB before this weekend. It was obviously going to be either Feeley or Garcia, since those two already knew the system. Once Feeley signed with Carolina, it was an easy decision to sign Garcia.

Chachie Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Another excellent move by the Philly front office. Garcia is a very efficient WCO QB. The Redskins should have snatched him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
