Not for nothing...but you'd hear a lot of bitching about Gannon's lack of arm strength if you lived in Raider Country.
Not from me. I've always thought Gannon was a heck of a QB, and could never figure out why Marty insisted on playing Grbac when he had Gannon. But there you go.
Trev
So that's the official list, is it?
Donovan McNabb,
Michael Vick,
Brett Favre,
Peyton Manning
Rich Gannon
But is that the official list of QBs who are better than Garcia?
Or the official list of QBs who are better than Garcia that we have no chance of getting?
I'll go either way with it. I mean...I agree with you, we don't have a chance of getting any of those guys. And I think you're right...I think they'd all be an upgrade over Garcia.
Which by you makes Garcia the 6th best QB in the league. Which ain't all that bad when you think about it.
The problem is...my list of guys who are an upgrade...who are better, is a little longer.
I mean, what about Brady in New England? A young guy with great poise and a terrific arm...who already has a Superbowl title in his pocket. I think he'd be an upgrade.
And I sure wouldn't turn down the opportunity to sign Pennington if he became available. Boy hasn't he turned out to be something special!
Then there are Cullpepper and McNair. Both big strong guys...wonderfully mobile, with great passing arms. I think either of those could do a job getting the ball to Owens.
And the youngsters who look like they are poised to make such a big splash in the NFL. Guys like Harrington and Carr. They've both had a rough go considering the teams they are on...but gee, you can't deny their talent. Can you? (And Anthony, who loves Garcia, will tell you that Drew Brees is gonna do great things in the NFL if he survives Schottenheimer.)
So far, my list has 12 QBs that I think would be an upgrade over Garcia.
Unavailable? Maybe. You could be right there.
But then, I think there's another name that belongs on that list. Jake Plummer. In fact, I'd put him very high on that list of guys who are better than Garcia, because his skills and physical tools are such a perfect fit for the Niner offensive system. And the fact is...he's the one who just might be on the market this summer.
So that makes Jeff (according to my list) the 14th best QB in the league?
Well, not so much. See, I think he's pretty much in the same class as Griese, Brunell, Green, Brooks, Bolger, Flutie, Couch and probably Maddox.
But heck, okay. Just for arguments sake...let's call him the top of the second tier QBs. The 14th best starting Qb in the league. (Maybe the 15th. Bolger looked very good.)
So it's all in how you look at it, isn't it Trev?
I mean, if "good enough---middle of the pack" #14 out of 31 is good enough for you then grand.
Myself...I'm a Niner fan...I know what this offense can do with a better QB at Center, and I'd like a chance to see that again.
Sorry that seems to tick you off so much Trev, but keep in mind...I just typed my opinion on a bulletin board on the web. I didn't kick your dog.
