Bye Bye, Jeff

News Item: Jeff Garcia leaves Eagles to sign with Tampa Bay

Yes, Garcia had a great year with Philly, leading the team to a 6-1 record down the stretch and a playoff victory over the Giants. He was an exciting, likable player who lifted the team up after everyone had given up hope. Then, there's his girlfriend...

But honestly? He wasn't going to keep it up forever. He'd never been as good in his career before as he was in '06, and at 38, he probably wasn't going to be again. And to suggest that he's better than Donovan McNabb is the height of armchair-quarterback sports fan nonsense. So, expect it to harden into Philly fan conventional wisdom over the course of the next few months.
