This is true. Sadly, all too real.

I don't think that it is true at all.
The sad reality is that our slim playbook is a result of TJack's ability, not vice versa.
I think Garcia would make a pretty big difference.

I have to agree with Nodak 100% on this one. I think the play calling is because of the QB not being able to run the offense.

If we get a better Qb with more ability whether that be Garcia or other wise and we still see the sam stuff, then yes I will agree it is Chilly as well. Chilly downfall will not be his play calling but his faith is TJack to remain the starter.

Maybe if Matt Cassell lights it up Tom Brady will be on the trading block

(patiently waits for Cajun's "fuck tom brady" response)

I disagree.

The big thing that Garcia will bring is the ability to read defenses, make corrections, and check down when the blitz is coming.
I don't think the coaching and TJ himself believe he can make the correct calls.

Garcia is of course a short term solution, but it would give TJ more time to mature or for the Vikes to find a new QB.

But I think TB would ask too much for him.
I do believe that Garcia could pick up the system very fast, as he's been in quite a few in his career.
He's a good WCO QB.

that was a well written, tongue-in-cheek article.

wasn't Brees injured around that time as well? why let go one injured QB to sign another.

Garcia would be nice it would take some time for him to get the offense down but i eman hey he might be just what we need sounds like past super bowl winners to me great defense good Qb who can make good decisions and make plays

OK now, what?

i was thinking garcia might be a decent pickup when i heard tampa tried to trade him before the game. then i thought, there is a reason no-one wants to keep him, we just don't know the reason.

I don't think it would, he started in Philly which runs a very similar offense.
