[QUOTE="trippster, post: 203035, member: 433"] I am the rivisionist?? Wikipedia - Jeff Garcia [i]Following the Grey Cup victory in 1998, Garcia was signed as a backup to Steve Young with the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League. Over the summer, he had been fighting for a spot on the roster, but early in the 1999 season, Steve Young was sacked by Aeneas Williams and suffered his final professional concussion, knocking him out for the year. Garcia stepped in and finished the season. The following season, with Young retired, Garcia kept the starting quarterback position and made his first Pro Bowl appearance. He set a new 49ers' team record with 4,278 passing yards in the 2000 season, although the team finished with a 6-10 record. In both of the next two seasons, the 49ers went to the playoffs. Garcia had 31 and 32 passing touchdowns in the 2000 and 2001 season seasons, more than any other quarterback over those two seasons. Garcia went to the Pro Bowl in three consecutive seasons (2000-2002). On January 5, 2003, during the 2002-2003 playoffs, Garcia was a large part of the 49ers' comeback win over the New York Giants, the second largest comeback victory in NFL playoff history. In the game's third quarter, the Giants were up 38-14, with about 18 minutes left to play. Once the 49ers regained possession of the ball, they began a comeback that saw 25 unanswered points, with San Francisco taking a 39-38 lead. The Giants lost an opportunity to retake the lead after a controversial call, and the improbable victory became the signature game of Garcia's 49er career. He threw for 331 yards, 3 touchdowns, 1 interception, and also ran for 60 yards and 1 touchdown. Following a disappointing 2003 season, in which Garcia performed at a sub-par level, the 3-time Pro Bowler was released by the 49ers due to a decline in performance and salary cap issues. Garcia also had a falling out with wide receiver Terrell Owens.[/i] Funny thing about the internet, you can use it to find out facts..... Teams usually make the change at QB for one or both of two reasons. 1. Starting QB is declined in production (which Favre hasn't) 2. the team is going nowhere or has little aspirations for the following year. That being said, so Favre threw a bad ball. so he thought Driver was running a different route. Whatever the reason, lets keep in mind the biggest reason the Packers were even in the game to begin with. Brett Lorenzo Favre. How about his play in the KC game? how about the Denver game? Seattle? Detroit? The ONLY reason we were 7-1 in the first half of the season is because of Favre and his ability to pass when we had no running game And the biggest thing and the reason I think we excelled on offense this year, his ability to finally call audibles. Favre is one of the smartest QB's to come along in a long time. Wasn't it the Seattle CB who said "it was like Favre knew all our plays. He always called the perfect audible" Rodgers will have his time in the spotlight. however, we have the tools to go to the SB next year and the year after. Would you like to give that up so that we can look to the Future? My guess is that Favre will retire before his skills decline so that the team does not have to make that decision. then it will be the Rodgers era. [color=yellow][size=18]I just can't believe I have to sit here and defend why the runner up in the MVP voting should keep his job. Sheesh! [/size][/color] Oh, and I would take a 50 yr old with Favres abilities before any 25 yr old who MIGHT be good. (a bird in a hand is worth more than two in the bush) [/QUOTE]
