Jeff Garcia has been told by the Tampa Bay Bucs that his services are no longer required in the south of Florida. The Bucs faded down the stretch because their defense disintegrated - not because of Garcia, who'll immediately becomes the most ready-to-start free agent quarterback on the market (with the possible exception of Kurt Warner). The Bears will certainly be one of the teams in the conversation.
And I think they should be.
Here's what Garcia brings to the Bears immediately. (1) Toughness at the quarterback position. (2) Ability to elude a sure-to-come pass rush with his legs. (3) Accuracy on the underneath routes - a new staple of the Bears passing game. (4) Combine both of those things and you have a perfect roll-out quarterback to throw to our tight ends. (5) Leadership in the offensive huddle.
And I say all this as a Kyle Orton fan. I don't think signing Garcia would send any message to Orton other than, "You're going to have to earn this job every year until you give us four good months." Starting training camp with two solid, professional quarterbacks on the roster (and Caleb Hanie) would mean the Bears enter the summer with the position in its best shape since the mid-80s.
The question is whether or not Garcia would want to come to Chicago. The most logical destination would be a starting job on the running-game ready Jersey Jets. Pioli/Haley might see him as a stabilizing force in Kansas City. Minnesota? San Francisco return? Halas Hall must sell Garcia on the prospect of starting for this club in 2009. Sell him on an "open competition" and this year actually make it "open". If he wins, the Bears have a sturdy, reliable quarterback. If he loses, the Bears will have a surprisingly sturdy, reliable quarterback and they'll be deep at the position. That's right. The Bears. Will be deep. At quarterback.
#2 Z said . . .Off topic, here is hoping that Carolina can't sign Jordan Gross or Julius Peppers and has to leave one of them untagged.
And first again.
I think I need to get a life.

#3 Perfontaine said . . .I am trying to remember where everyone fell on the side of trading for Garcia or not last season and see how they feel now.
Between his legs (even at 39?) and #3 and #4 on your list he does seem like a real good fit for improving the Offense.
I do think that you can count on losing Orton after the season if Jeff is going to be the starter the next two years. And that is no reason not to bring him in and make the same mistake we made before not trying to challenge and improve the position like we did with Sexy Cannon in there.
February 17, 2009
#4 Rancid said . . .I already miss the healthy Mike Brown.
The #1 item I saw on Jeff's list was the leadership in the huddle on the offensive side of the ball. All Garcia does is win football games regardless of city or team status.
February 17, 2009
#5 big ten speed said . . .If I remember the conversations last year, I think that the general opinion was that Garcia was west coast style guy who wouldn't fit on Da Bears. I have no current opinion yet.
February 17, 2009
#6 MikeBrownhadaPosse said . . .Garcia would make a fine backup, but he shouldn't start- his best days are far behind him and Orton still has potential to grow, potential that can only really be achieved with game experience now.
Orton's deep ball isn't pretty but at least he has one. Which is more than Garcia can say. This matters to an offense that doesn't run a lot of really short routes.
February 17, 2009
#7 Shady said . . .Garcia pushing Orton is OK by me....and I like Captain Neckbeard a lot. Kyle certainly didn't seem the worse for wear coming out of the QB competition in last years preseason, and Garcia would maybe even have better success than Kyle because of his (AARP-enhanced) mobility.
February 17, 2009
#8 jeff said . . .Just don't see it happening - didn't the Bears just sign a QB from Carolina's practice squad, Brett Bazenez or something outta NU? Either way, I would rather draft a QB than sign day old bread like Garcia. I bet Hanie could do just as god of a job in a year or two.
February 17, 2009

#11 BearDown1982 said . . .Well said u. To the point and easy to read...good job!
February 17, 2009
#12 Urlacher FTW said . . .Good arguments in his favor. The only problem I have with Garcia is that he still seems to act as if he is a stud QB in his 20s. Acts up a bit when he isn't 'the man' which he probably wouldn't be in Chicago, because Orton will get the nod more than likely next year.
Worth exploring for sure.
February 17, 2009
#13 Rancid said . . .Well, I really liked Garcia, 2 years ago when they shoulda pulled the trigger when he left Philly. Now I don't know. Tampa had a good Oline and he still fought injury problems, even healthy he had trouble holding off Griese for his job. I also think Orton kinda deserves this 09 season, he hasn't had a full; warmups and preseason to know he's the starter and prepare that way. If Garcia is willing to come here as a backup, great come on over, but I personaly, could go a season without an open QB competition.
People keep saying that makes the starter better but where is the proof in that? Where is the open QB competition in Indy, San Diego, New Orleans; no I think you get there by putting your trust in one guy and backing him until you know he definately isn't the guy.
February 17, 2009
#14 JAB said . . .I still like Kitna to back up KO
February 17, 2009
#15 JWilson said . . .My biggest fear about picking up Garcia is he actually does beat out Kyle Orton for the starting job and does a good job quarterbacking this team. I say this because Garcia is 39 years old and has maybe one or two years in front of him. Lets say he has a good season and then decides to retire, then we have no KO and no Garcia. We are starting all over at the QB position again. I think Orton is going to have a good year and would love to see him have the chance without and aging veteran to steal the job and retire the next season.
February 17, 2009
#16 Urlacher FTW said . . .No way Jeff beats out Kyle for the starting job. Plus we aren't even looking in his direction, so it don't matter.
On another note. The Broncos released PJ Pope. He's young, and was averaging 7 yards per carry till he got hurt. Might be a good back up for Matt.
February 17, 2009
#17 Urlacher FTW said . . .I'm not positive but I think Pope was on our practice squad before the Broncos signed him. We must have not seen enough to elevate him over AP, KJ, or GW. I guess I'd like to see AP as a FB and more of Garrett Wolfe. Yes they are both good ST as backups and FBs should be but I don't think we even use what we have to spell
Matt. If anything noone seems to want Ahman Green, maybe he'd be cheap and while I don't think he's special, he'd be a veteran backup.February 17, 2009
#18 Albert In Tucson said . . .Maybe we should just sign Garcia to keep him outa Minnesota, I really don't want that team to end up with a Pro-Bowl QB, we made the old washed up QB they had last year look like a pro-bowler, I don't want to see them ith an actual QB; Berrian might start to pay divedends and we don't want to see that.
Here's what I see happening though;
Detroit will resign Garcia hoping to get one year and some mentoring out of him for Stafford's development.
Minnesota will pick up Grossman and he will beat out Tavaris for the job in Minnesota.
We will not sign anymore QBs, JA will say Basanez was the FA aquisition at QB and the team has other needs to work on.February 17, 2009
#19 Z said . . .Garcia's been in and out of a LOT of locker rooms over the last few seasons. Why? Unlucky QB situations? Perhaps. Clubhouse lawyer? Lockerroom Cancer? Selfish S.O.B? Proabably more likely. Can't say I am enthusiastic about signing him. Vikes or Jets have to look much more appealing to him, anyway.
February 17, 2009
#20 do said . . .If we don't get him as a backup, I would be OK with Garcia to Det and Sexy to Minn. Better yet if 1 of them signs with the Jets or KC or Det gets the other 1 and Minn gets nothing.
Fred Taylor, Ahman Green, PJ Pope? Bring somebody in as the change of pace.
Great to see teams cutting people. Keep em coming.
February 17, 2009
#21 WTF are they thinking said . . .The only good thing I see about bringing Garcia in is the fact that his wife is smoking hot.
February 17, 2009
#22 Phil from SATX said . . .HELL NO!!!!! I like Garcia but why? We need to let KO get a full camp with the WRs. Why would you want to split the snaps espicially when he is still working with Hester and whoever the #1 is going to be. Besides he can go start for other teams so why be a backup?
What they also need to worry about is Desmond Clark. He's the better TE but is having trouble staying healthy. That along with being 31 makes me nervous. I wouldn't let him go but it's time to find his replacement. Maybe someone can teach Olsen how to run block?
February 17, 2009
#23 Urlacher FTW said . . .That reminds me - of yet another reason why I hate RatTurd (wasn't that what you called him Rancid?) - not one play to Kellen Davis all year? uh - Why? He looked like a potential steal where we got him, and since we refused to play any WRs who could catch a ball, why not use a 3rd TE?
Mike and Mike this morning were talking about Garcia and how Minny needs to grab him YESTERDAY and how that would make Minny the presumptive NFC champion. Well I don't quite agree with that, but I will say that Garcia would be a huge improvement and it could happen. So I hope he goes anywhere but there - and I could see signing him to prevent that from happening. I agree with those who say let's not have the annual "QB Competition" - Kyle surely did enough this year to merit the starting job, but he also got injured last year, so having a more-than-credible backup like Garcia would be a great plan. I want Kyle to get all the snaps he can for the season - we wasted all those snaps on Rexy this year and there's no doubt it affected Kyle - it had to. I like Kitna for the role too. Forget about drafting the backup - that's such a long shot and really not practical. Draft for the future, get yourself a veteran for backup now.
Idonije, hilarious! Well done sir!

#24 CA BEAR FAN said . . .Deuce Mcallister just got cut.

#25 Al In WI said . . .i dont agree with getting Garcia...what for? kyle is our guy and also, we already have three QBs......Offense we should be focused on three areas:
1) Oline
2) WR
3) 2nd RB
with duece mcallister and taylor being FA's, i think we should be more worried about grabing one of them...Garcia is not a factor....February 17, 2009

February 18, 2009
#29 Da Bearz said . . .everybody is so quick to throw orton under the bus......you cant expect him to have won the super bowl for us, when it was his first year starting with a bad ankle, bad Oline, Bad WR, and Bad D.........he did good for his first starting season...shit man give the guy some fucking credit FOR ONCE!!!!
February 18, 2009
#30 John said . . .Heres the problem and Ive been following the Bears forever. We get a QB and if he doesnt take us to the Superbowl the first year lets make a move. Meanwhile if you look at all of the greats their first year sucked. So Kyle comes in , kicks ass for the first few games, turns his ankle. He then has the balls to try and come back early , o line sucks , wr's suck and still gets us within one game of the playoffs. I cant believe the negative shit, thats why Rex shit the bed and Im a huge Rex fan. I drove ten hours to watch him play and he got boo'd when he stepped on the field. For God sakes give a QB a freakin chance. You could be livin down here near Baltimore where your team has felons.

February 18, 2009
#33 Shady said . . .I'm reminded of this debate in the media after the Super Bowl loss. Garcia was a free agent from Philadelphia and Grossman was on the downward slope.
I seem to recall a great many people wanting to get rid of Orton, hire Garcia, have Jeff and Rex compete for the starting job and Griese would be the third stringer.
Personally, I don't think it matters...not going to lose much sleep over whether or not Jeff Garcia is signed. And I definately don't think Jeff Garcia is the missing link in Minnesota (sorry John).
February 18, 2009
#34 Reality Check said . . .You really think Garcia wants to come to Chicago to play back up to Kyle Orton? I don't think so.
Honestly there are some bigger issues to deal with right now. The losses of Tait and Brown loom very large for this team, how JA plans to fill these holes right now I have no idea. Normally I'd plead on here for some SERIOUS activity on the FA market (not this B.Lloyd or M. Booker BS) but considering the shitty economy and JA's recent history of not having the balls to lure in serious talent with $$, I don't expect any miracles this (rebuilding... yeah I said it) year.
JA spoke about "stabilizing the QB position". Now, does that mean he's going to bring in serious competition, or does it mean KO is the QB no questions asked? Ask yourself, which would really "stabilize" the position.
February 18, 2009
#35 CA BEAR FAN said . . .Again, this will never happen. Jeff Garcia is a starter and doesnt deserve to have to fight for a starting job when there are plenty of other teams that will put him right at #1. Plus, who is he going to throw to?
February 18, 2009
#36 animal said . . .I agree with Shady: we have a major problem now with our Oline since we lost two Vets......JA is a cheap ass and he wont sign nobody big...like i always say with this ownership and staff that make decisions for out team.."please dont expect nothing great to happen but yet pray and hope for a miracle to happen".... Bears aren't going anywhere with Lovie, JA, and this Ownership....
February 18, 2009
#37 shonbear said . . .we have a starting qb. we don't need a 40 year old stop-gap. same old Bears shit we have done so many times. If they bring him in it has to be to back up Orton.

#38 Rancid said . . .No, Jeff is gay and I mean Garcia and even if he's not gay, he still has never really been with a team long enough to "finish". Our team already has that problem without him.
Once he takes a look at our receivers he will move on to another team, probably in a dome or warmer climate anyways.

#40 Da bears 1977 said . . .All this talk about QB...... *sigh*....
I know this is Chicago, but we have other pressing needs!!! KO is the QB. Anyone we bring in i.e. leftwitch, garcia, etc. will be the backup!!! So, whatever....
Last time i checked our secondary was atrocious!!! Now, there are vets out there such as Chris McCalister, B-Dawk, and Dre Bly. Get one!!!!
Or two....
February 18, 2009
#41 Murph said . . .Wow, an ugly multi-millionaire has a beautiful wife... I have never seen that before. I'm sure she loves him for his personality.
Garcia is decent but not the answer, it's actually moot since we signed Basaenez. JA won't sign another QB or draft one for that matter. We get another local rookie free agent scrub the day after the draft who didn't get drafted in 7 rounds but must be good cause he played college or HS ball within a 100 mile radius of Chicago (e.g. Nick Hill). And then we'll do it again next year, wow I wonder why in 23 years we have never had a good QB.
There is some buzz the Bears will draft CB Davis, I sure this is where they'll go and we can chalk up another 1st round pick wasted on a player with no heart or desire in the last 5 years (Haynes, Benson, Williams). Vontae's desire was even questioned by his college coach, bad sign, even worse his brother is a legendary bust with no heart, desire, maturity, etc.
"Can't play with em, can't coach with em, can't do it!" - best line from last year and my favorite Bear of all time.February 18, 2009
#42 CA BEAR FAN said . . .ca bear fan post# 28....it was Ortons 2nd year starting. Rex's first year starting a full season he took us to the super bowl, so I think its perfectly o.k. to throw K.O. under the bus. I totally agree with you Da Bearz
February 18, 2009
#43 Shady said . . .Murph you expect to much then....you forget that Grossman had Berrian, Muhammad, Thomas Jones, Healthy Desmond Clark, and A defense that was pretty much reffered as one of the greatest Defense's out there!!!!!!........

February 18, 2009
#45 Murph said . . .Dre Bly released by the Broncos and on Monday, the Broncos released high-priced defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, who had a $16 million cap number, along with linebacker Jamie Winborn, safety Marquand Manuel, special teamer Niko Koutouvides, defensive end John Engelberger and tight end Nate Jackson.
February 18, 2009
#46 stuck in mn said . . .CA I really dont expect much, hell I am a bears fan!! Im just not a big KO fan. he doesnt do a lot really well except throw decent short routes and play very safe. He wont win games for us. He wont fire up a team, and he will never lead us from 14 down to win a game. And the defense which was great at times, made Indys running game look like hall of fame material in the super bowl. The defense won games that year but so did the offense. I dont see that happening, I hope I'm wrong, but I dont see moments of greatness in Kyle Orten.
February 18, 2009
#47 Willie from Chicago said . . .I recall shitty performances last year in the running game...but last night I saw on NFL network, BEARS had the 5th ranked rushing D. Pass D had to be near the bottom, but at least - not to sound like Lovie - we may be close? Need secondary help bad, I would take any of the recently jettisoned veterans. Biggest need??? Pass rush, can they get Peppers? Is he worth it? I don't know, but if I have to watch the D line stand in place all season again next year...I will go crazy. Better pass rush=better seconday+5th ranked run D or better=less pressure on offense - just trying to be optimistic.
PS - If the vikes get peppers, we are fucked anyway.
February 18, 2009
#48 Willie from Chicago said . . .Damnit when is baseball season going to get here?!?!
February 18, 2009
#49 WTF are they thinking said . . .I say we stick with Orton only because Garcia may only be giving us 1 solid year. Orton is probably our future at QB unless we tank in the next few years and draft a QB. NO to Garcia.
February 18, 2009
#50 Phil from SATX said . . .Murph Indy's running game picked up late because the defense was exhausted from being on the feild all day. Rex was horrible and cost us a super bowl victory. After teams figured out he can't read or feel the blitz they just started owning him. The defense carried that team starting with the Arizona game. Even peewee football centers were on the news explaining how simple the exchange at the snap is and he just sucks at it.
So just let go of him and move on. He will never be the starting QB again. I would start Hanie before I trusted him.
February 18, 2009
#51 CA BEAR FAN said . . .Hey Stuck, that rushing D stat was fool's gold, not real. We stacked the box all the time to ensure that they couldn't run on us, only allowing easy passing because we also couldn't get to the QB even with all those guys in the box. Finally in the GB game we pulled out of the box and they ran AND threw all over us. After that debacle we went back to at least stopping the run. Any team can stop the run if they devote a disproportionate amount of resources toward it, like we did.
Our goal needs to be generating the ability to stop the run with a standard configuration. Tommie seems to suck pretty badly against the run in general. Not sure why.
February 18, 2009
#52 Z said . . .MURPH: do you not remember the Atlanta game???? Kyle led us downfield under two minutes and gave us the lead with like 20 seconds left on the clock... or the game against the Vikings when he had put up 48 points!....he is still developing....I have no problem with KO throwing short routes and making smart decisions all day, and add that with a good run game.we have an offense.....There was alot of factors that led to KO not being great...Turners play calling, WR, Oline, ankle, etc......He has good Mechanics and He makes smart decisions....He is going to do a good job this year......
February 18, 2009
#53 Z said . . .I agree with all of that CA but his not being accurate on the long ball does leave us limited in that area of the Offense. But he is the best we have and we don't have any WR's anyway. Let's see what he can do with all the snaps to get used to whoever our WR's are from the beginning of the year. We have bigger needs than QB.
February 18, 2009
#54 O-Line wins games said . . .And seeing my comment #2. I don't think when the thread is "Why I like Jeff Garcia", I should begin any paragraph with "Between his legs". That just doesn't look good. So retraction and replaced with "In addition to his scrambling ability".

#56 Z said . . .CA Thank you, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get the negative comments but it drives me crazy. I think Lovie is right, we are close,KO is our QB, Forte is a beast, Olsen and Clark are the best TE tandum in the NFL, the d line will come back. We need a #1 WR and an DE and we are in.

#60 CA BEAR FAN said . . .Well, looks like Peppers probably doesn't want to be a Bear. Oh well, that was more than likley just a pipe dream.
Also, Haynesworth wants to get the biggest defensive contract in history. First off, there is NO way the Bears give him that. Secondly, I'm not sure I would want them to in the first place. Tying all that money into one player with the issues and aging players we have seems like a potential nightmare...but then again, he is a damn good football player.

#68 Omotade said . . .You know during my deep tech analysis, I was trying to figure out how we ended up with the 5th ranked run D in the league. After watching every game, it seemed like they weren't that great. They definitely gave some away to Green Bay and of course Minnesota. Green Bay because I think they tried something different because they had been making pro bowlers out of so many mediocre and rookie QB's, so that screwed them, then they just gave up the ghost.
So, sure Mike Brown played almost every game, that helped the run D and Briggs played pretty much lights out throughout the season that also helped, then you look at our absolute lack of penetration from the fron four. That lack of penetration, not getting to the QB, forced them to be in better position throughout the season to handle the running game.
I would have settled for 10th in the league against the run if we could have been a lot better in our Pass D. Both scenarios are still demoralizing to a team that is supposed to be steeped in history with good D. Especially when we were pretty healthy this year (supposedly) and rewarded our own pro bowlers.
Still the front four needed to get that penetration and the secondary allowed FAR too many 3rd and longs. Those 3rd and longs were probably the most stressful thing of the season save for the games we had and gave away. The Houston game was the icing on the cake in disappointment and the exclamation point at the end of a major up and down season that told the story of the whole season.
On Mike Brown, here's to hoping he starts for the 49rs and they have a spectacular season. He and MS are like the same spirit and would be a good pairing.
Garcia is a fag, Jeff your in theater so you see lots of those and have to work with them allthe time, that's why you have no problem with him. Lots of fags have a cover, especially in the NFL, he has to have a cover. He goes from team to team cause nobody wants his gay ass. WHY? He performs above average almost every year, but no team wants to keep him, is it a conspiracy?
I don't really care who we get, if it's somebody we have never heard of or if it's Jeff G (gay or not), I just want the Bears to be better. Whatever it takes!

Mainly, he said he wanted to play in a 3-4...and also, there are other contending teams that may seem more interesting to him. But hey, who knows.

But are they putting the young 'monsters' on the field like Harrison and Idonije and letting them intimidate somebody bigtime? NO! We got the athletes! If TH don't kick ass from day one, let THEM freakin play!! #3. What the fuck is it with the Bears and wide receivers??!!! Nothing, Never, No-how, No one seems to freakin work!! Sorry for the rant, hadn't posted in a minute.

#73 Idonije said . . .By the way,... they used to diss Payton too. His salary sucked!! No TD in the SB!

#74 Urlacher FTW said . . .Peppers, who I think there is no way we get, claimed he wanted to go to a 3-4 team. But, the article states he lists 2 NFC teams...yet, essentially every team in the NFC plays the 4-3. Does he have a no trade clause? If not, he can bitch and moan all he wants, but I think the Panthers would trade him for the best offer if they don't resign him.

I guess Peppers isn't that good, didn't St. Clair pretty much shut him down? St. Clair, you know the guard transfer because of injury who allowed the 3rd most sacks of all Left Tackles in the NFL. I just recall that Ogun was a beast when we traded Booker for him and look how well he is working out, although seeing as Booker flopped too I guess it was kind of an even swap.
I guess to me if Rod can flip the Mark Anderson switch back to on, bring Harrison along (that guy has a motor for a big man), and get healthy TH inspired and playing hard again; our Dline will be fine. With current talent none of our positions are in as much trouble as O-line and WR, so that is what we should fix in FA and the draft (day one) and if you want to look at D, then the biggest need would be an actual FS, who is smart.

Here at DaBearsBlog, you are free to kill us or the Bears as you so wish. You are not free, however, to be an asshole. So if you spew racism or ill-meaning foul language (cursing about football is just fine) or anything of that ilk, your comments ain't gonna last long, jerk.
