Garcia got canned by SF, Cleve, Detroit, Eagles, and TB..a qb who just can’t get it done when needed to…and that’s your backup.

Ouch.

If Garcia gets in, you best hope it’s not for more than a series or two.

Here’s what to expect, as if you didn’t already know….
1. great scrambling (unfortunately, he does it even when he doesn’t need to, preventing him from letting plays develop, and receivers getting open)
2. a throw on the money (making you all cheer for Al’s brilliance)
3. A wide open WR deep, that Garcia doesn’t see, where he dumps it off for a short gain (you’ll tell yourself “well, it’s better than a sack, BUT how did he miss that guy who was open?”)
4. Wide open receivers who have a step, where the ball is badly thrown, most likely behind the receiver, or too high, both leaving the receiver hung out to dry, taking a vicious hit..
and 5..those “bounce the ball off the turf”..the “wtf was that?” throws that will drive you nuts..that will kill a drive…where you will scream out “WHY DID WE EVER SIGN THIS GUY?”.

That’s not smack, Raider fan…mark the above..it WILL happen IF Garcia gets in.

“They just got a good thing going there. They got this Bush that’s running over everything, I tell you, you don’t want to get run over by a bush because you get all those sticks and leaves in your mouth, and then this guy Mitchell who reminds me of a young Ronnie Lott with all his fingers and toes, but don’t let that fool you, cause I think he’ll gonna knock the snot out of a lot of people. Then out of nowhere comes this kid Murphy who catches the ball, and really has no fear, if it’s up there he’s going to get it.
Of course you can’t not talk about the big guys, I mean you got an offensive lineman who throws the ball like Elway, and a line that has a lot to prove, but I think we’re going to see something that reminds the fans of the old nastys, the Mosbar’s and Wisnewski’s and the Gogan’s.
The only thing that concerns me is the tight end position. I’m not sold on the guy Miller, I think his missing something, like a perma-mullet and a porn mustache. You get all those ingredients and I think you’re cooking something. So hopefully by thanksgiving we’ll be giving the Raiders a turducken or two and they can use it to clobber guys, especially that bush, because no one thinks they’re going to find a turducken hiding in a bush, that’s really the last place anyone would look, and I think that’s to the raiders advantage.”

LOL

Damn Murphy give me wood! This dude is going to have a Tim Brown like career.

The O does have its weaknesses though: namely, they’re young and the right side is weak.

But, as you say we’ll see.

With the emergence of Frye, potentially we could listen to offers to trade Garcia as well. I don’t think there will be any, point blank.

I thought he couldn’t play in the 3-4?
