Jeff Garcia Beyond 2008?

The title of this story, "Even With Garcia Back, Gruden Scans QB Backfield", made me think that someone had talked to Jon Gruden and he said something specific about the quarterback position's future in 2008. Turns out, no. The author just speculates that Gruden will look to make the position better, which is tantamount to predicting a sunrise.

The real meat of the story is that there is talk of a Jeff Garcia contract extension.

Garcia and the Bucs are expected to begin talks shortly on a contract extension that would enable him to finish his career in Tampa Bay.

I'm not opposed to extending Garcia for the sake of having an experienced and good backup on the roster, but by April of next year, we should all be very excited by the prospect of [insert some other quarterback who is at least a decade younger than Garcia here] starting in 2009.

Jeff Garcia wishes he could take a nice afternoon nap in that shady spot over there.
