we didnt even try to sign him last time. Jeff Garcia tho, is a winner. I don't know if the cap would allow it. but lets face it, i know i will get criticized, but Garcia is better than Delhomme. idk about his attitude, but the guy, when surrounded by talent (which may or may not be able, you judge), wins football games. Not to mention he has taken 3 different teams to the playoffs, and has been in multiple Pro Browls.

As long as we also go to a completely different offensive system (in mid-season).

We could have had Garcia the last time he was available and we needed a QB. We didn't even reach out to him, opting to go after A J Feeley instead.

With no opening on the roster, and A J Feeley already two weeks into his "crash course" what on earth makes you think we'd go after Garcia now? :nonod:

how many times does this have to be said? you can't just magically plug a quarterback with a certain skillset into an offense that is contrary to his abilities. Garcia is a WCO QB for a reason. To insist that he'd be just fine in our system is more than just asinine, its ...its... uh... REALLY asinine. yeah.

delhomme is a better option than garcia, at this point.

Our offense sucks !!

If we are down by 10 at the half then we are done

Garcia's not all that consistent on the longballs. Not a good flaw to have in an offense that prefers chucking it downfield over short passes. His arm strength has generally only been so-so even when he was younger, and now he's old. the mobility isn't what it once was either.

He's got the ideal skill set for the WCO. But whenever he's played outside of it he's wound up benched, and in favor of guys nobody would mistake for superstars.

    • ...on thee shtiest D in the league....somebody had to be the goat....
    • Strongly disagree... I think he's taking the smartest approach any HC candidate has taken in a LONG time, maybe ever. He's still only 38 years old and only been an OC for 3 years.  He knows how this league is, no matter how great of a football mind you have, most coaches only get one shot at being a HC, and if it doesn't go well, they likely capped their future career opportunities as coordinators. He is in an OUTSTANDING situation for a coach in his situation.  Because as someone else said, Campbell isn't really an X's and O's coach, he's a rah rah type of coach who depends a lot on his coordinators.   So Johnson gets to learn how to be a leader of a football team from one of the best in the league, which for a 38 year old coach, is almost impossible to quantify how important that is for him.  While also having a truly elite offense to work with as they have everything, one of the best OL's, one of the best WRs, and maybe the best RB room in the entire league. In league circles, I'm sure Johnson gets more credit for the Lions actual play than Campbell does, especially this year with their defense being so bad because of injuries and being carried by an elite offense that Campbell has little to do with.  So he's doing nothing but increasing his stock throughout the league by staying there and turning the Lions of all franchises into an offensive juggernaut and a true SB contender. Teams aren't going to stop wanting to hire him and he's only 38, there's no reason for him to take just any job offered to him as opposed to waiting for the one he thinks is the perfect fit for him.  I still think he would be the Chargers HC right now if Harbaugh didn't decide to go back to the NFL, and when he didn't get that last year, he was fine waiting again for the right opportunity to arise.
