Oakland Raiders Quarterback

Here comes Jeff Garcia! The minute Oakland signed him it was apparent to me that he would own the starting job unless Jamarcus showed up like a first round draft pick for once. It is what Garcia does, accepts a back-up position knowing he will push you and the coaches to a point they will have to re-think who the starter really should be. I'm not saying Jamarcus doesn't deserve time to grow, but has he really shown any leadership qualities that prove he is a franchise QB? The best thing for the Raiders would be to have Garcia take over. He will temper Al Davis' penchant for deep balls (since he can't throw them) and force Oakland to run a more mid range move the chains attack. Combined with their running attack, Garcia is a perfect fit. Of course we'll see if Oakland's O-line shows up, but it it does Oakland MIGHT go .500 or dare I say better? It is still early, but Jamarcus better have an epiphany or next year...With the second pick of the NFL draft the Raiders select....Colt McCoy. Unless there's a punter who runs a 4.2 40.
