is there ? .............. should there be ?

can Garcia win enough to create a QB controversy ? ....... has he already ?

what if he wins the Division ? ..........the Conference ? ........the Super Bowl ?

Drew Bledsoe was the concrete starter when he got hurt and Brady took over........Brady won the Super Bowl and never looked back

Brad Johnson and Trent Dilfer both won Super Bowls and were replaced

some say no matter what you cant lose your job to injury.....i say thats crap

so, just what would Garcia have to do, if he hasnt done it already ? .........is it even possible for him to come to training camp next year as the #1 QB in Philly ?

I don't think McNabb has to worry about anything. Once he's healthy, he's the Eagles' starting QB.

Garcia knows this and has said as much.

[Lefty Noob]

I don't think there is one, but there should be. Garcia's showing more passion, he's playing well and the team's rallying around him. He isn't as physically gifted but I think he's proven he's better in the leadership department than McNabb. I say give him a shot, but let's see how he does in the playoffs first. If Garcia takes this team to a Super Bowl title, THEN does he supplant Donovan?

[Gotham Dark Knight]

All Garcia is doing is winning the starting job in another place...a place like Tampa Bay maybe...

[Speedy-Wat]

Yeah, other teams are going to want him after what he's doing now. McNabb will be the starter next year, Garcia will end up as the backup again, or he'd be smart and go to a team and make them a contender. Being a Philly fan, I hope he stays.

[njpsufan]

I don't understand why people think there could even be a story here. Certainly McNabb's history of injuries leads you to believe that the Birds will draft a QB in this years draft to be the heir-apparant. Garcia is 37 yrs old.... no way he is #1 next yr.. unless McNabb's injury turns out to be worse then expected. Original time frame was 9-12 months. So that means even with the best case McNabb is not ready for training camp. He would be ready to play by game 1 or 2. Worst case would mean he could miss the year. So Garcia will resign for Philly because he knows chances are he will get good playing time next year, as opposed to sitting somewhere else. Philly needs to draft their next QB this draft though as McNabb is the kinda QB that gets hurt too often (3 times in 4 yrs I think)

[Lefty Noob]

What if Garcia wins the Super Bowl. Then what? Do they still go back to McNabb? I don't see it.

[cwstech]

I agree with Lefty. How could you not allow a quarterback who takes you to the Super Bowl a chance to start the next year. McNabb has proven he can't win that big game. If Garcia does, does he not get a chance?

[Magnificent Bastard]

IMO, once McNabb returns he'll get his spot back. I'm amazed at the job Garcia is doing, but I think Garcia knows he's the back-up. And I belive he'll stay in Philly. He knows going somewhere else won't promise success.

Apologize if this is a rerun of something said earlier.

Don't believe the current situation (they don't NEED McNabb in order to win) sets the question as to whether Garcia may become #1. He won't. Ever. Period.

It does however set the wheels a turnin' (in the front office) as to whether you move McNabb before his market value decreases any further. Ideally (for the front office) he returns next year looking 100%, and even finishes the year healthy. NOW they've got prime dumping opportunity and it is likely the market value will never again be higher.

Maybe off to Denver with "the answer"?

[ThePundit]

No chance that there is a QB controversy. Garcia is 36 years old. True, he played great. But McNabb is eaily a top 10 QB in the league, I would put him in my top 5.

[Donavan is ass body he aint getting his sot back

Jaron Corbett is a great kid he deserves to get out of daytop

[azrael492]

I don't think there is any controversy. McNabb will get his spot back when healthy. If I were Philly though, I would draft a good young QB to back him up.

I would be surprised to see Garcia there next season. What do you think the chances of him going to Miami next year. They have 2 stiffs at the position. They are aging and need to win in the next couple years if they are going to at all.

[goblue35]

Mcnabb will get it. i think garcia should cause i think he has a better arm but a lot of people are saying he is to old so i think mcnabb will get it.
