Garcia: I am the quarterback

Jeff Garcia is the starting quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

If you don’t believe me, just ask Garcia, which we did Monday morning after his first workout with the team this camp.

Garcia said six times that he is the starting quarterback and once that he is the guy.

Kind of feel bad for Garcia. After all, he did lead the Bucs to the division title last season and did finish the year at the Pro Bowl in Hawaii.

He can’t get his contract reworked, and he can’t escape the shadow Brett Favre’s situation has thrown over Bucs camp.

But the NFL is a business, which is why Garcia is asking to have his contract reworked, and teams spend everyday looking for ways to upgrade every position.

If the Bucs can upgrade at quarterback, they will.

If that upgrade includes Favre, it will, providing the Bucs can work out a trade with the Packers.

Until then, Garcia is the Bucs starting quarterback.

Just ask him. He’ll tell you.
