Garcia clearly deserves it, look at what he did with Philly last season. Chris Simms is not a starting quarterback in the league, he doesn't have the skills. He is a good backup, and fill-in starter, but beyond that not much more...

I wouldn't say SImms is not a starter in the NFL because -- he's started in the NFL

He's done a good job with a micromanaging coach that does not do his job managing the talent he has. He expects players to be ready-made when he sticks them into an offense plan and does not intend to tweak their skills.

Any coach worth his salt would have simply had Simms DROP BACK FURTHER IN THE POCKET when he had battered-ball syndrome from the opposing DL. Deeper in the pocket, the higher the height of the pass when it fflies over the opposing DL.

Instead? Gruden set up a Manaquin in practice with it's arms up for Simms to throw over. FTW?
