Hall Of Famer
I am in the military so i got free tickets to see the Bucs play Minnesota. Not a bucs fan in any way but really wanted to see the best runningback in the league Adrian Peterson.
Cannot think of any other area to place this since I feel it is dolphin related.
I will precurser this with I am very happy with Chad Pennington but I feel if we had went with this option we would never have felt the wrath of almost going winless plus not suffered through the trifecta of Harrington, Green and Culpepper as well as not had to see lemon or beck ever play for us.
It came to mind during the game that our previous regimes passed over Jeff Garcia multiple times. Now I know someone will come out blasting that we passed over many players but seldom has a team needed a Qb so badly and ignored a good qb so many times.
In 2004 we traded a second round pick for AJ Feeley, while we could have got Jeff Garcia as a free agent. We gave Feeley a fairly huge contract after the trade so cost was really not a factor. We could have signed Garcia to Feeley's contract and had a guy that could have manned the ship while we drafted a young guy. Garcia at 38 is still playing quality football unlike the guy we brought in to mentor Beck.
In 2005 after a year in Cleveland, Garcia was again a free agent but we chose to sign Gus Frerotte.
In 2006 We spent big money and a 2nd round pick on Daunte Culpepper and a 4th on Joey Harrington or was it a 5th. He signed with Philly as a backup and threw 10 tds and 2 int in relief.
Then in 2007 we trade another draft pick for Trent Green over Jeff Garcia who was once again a free agent. Green shows he is washed up while Garcia goes to the probowl.
Must say Im glad we finally have a qb but its funny we never looked at Garcia. Garcia was not great in Detroit or Cleveland but very few qb's are and we had solid talent to surround him with most years in question. Again I am not just playing revisionist but do find it odd in the scheme of things that we never realistically looked at him.
PS can a mod please fix my mistyping of the word opportunity.
I left this game in pure amazement of how good Garcia still looks at qb and how damn good Peterson is as a RB. he had only 82 yards but he did some things that were purely amazing at times when met in the backfield. The one thing that stood out was Garcia is so much better than Frerotte our former Qb who did solid his one year here.
