TANK-
I do believe I already said I wasnt rebutting you, but Uncle Kevin, but incidentally, for a man who claims not to care what "major writers" have to say, you sure seem to quote a bunch.
And Anthony stole pretty much every pro-Garcia argument I had. So that's said.
And UK, if you think the list of QBs worse than Jeff Garcia is long, the list of QBs better is proportionally short. And of the QBs in the league better than him, the 49ers have a shot at getting none. Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning and Rich Gannon won't be going anywhere anytime soon. So all this talk of upgrade is truly balderdash, because there are no available upgrades. There have been no rumblings from the 49ers' front office of a desire to get rid of Garcia, nor should there be, considering that he's among the top five or six quarterbacks in the NFL.
I agree that Cade McNown could become a Steve Young- like backup to Garcia if his arm and mechanics troubles are remedied, but realistically, would he start next year? Hell no.
I also agree his weapons must be upgraded. Love the idea of drafting a tight end high, along with a wideout and a big tackle with subsequent first-day picks. I think that Mark Kreidler hits the nail on the head when he says:
"When opposing defenses scan the field, the only person they're making sure they track is Terrell Owens... there isn't a receiver on the field who is going to command fulltime concern -- you can practically feel Jeff Garcia trying not to constantly force throws to Owens -- and running back Garrison Hearst reached 95 rushing yards in a game only three times all season."
Now granted that last stat is a bit flawed, seeing as how Hearst split time with Kevan Barlow this year, but still. Good a year as Tai Streets has had -- really, he emerged like I always hoped he would -- more must be done. A third wideout option, big tall and surehanded, must be found. And one who can come in and make immediate impact.
But the bottom line is, Garcia aint going anywhere. And the cries and moans of a few perpetually-naysaying fans isn't going to change that.
