Clark Judge of CBSSports.com suggests Carmella's husband is "underappreciated."

It seems as if Clark Judge (not to be confused with Mike Judge of “Beavis and Butthead” fame) has dug up an old wound. He writes for CBSSports.com that Garcia is “underappreciated” and recounts how he had to fight for his starting quarterback job back after being benched for Son of Bob perhaps the most mind-blowing of too-many-to-count decisions from the deranged mind of Chucky.

It’s always something with him. When he became a free agent a year ago, only Tampa Bay, Oakland and Houston showed up at his door. So he proved to Tampa Bay that he was the quarterback it needed. Then, when he was benched a year later for Brian Griese, he was forced to swing into a familiar course of action.

“I felt like I had to re-prove that I belong as a starting quarterback,” said Garcia, whose contract expires after this year, “and that I’m capable of leading this team and doing the necessary things to help this team win games.

“As much as I can say, ‘At this point of my career why do I have to continue to prove myself?’ it just seems like that’s the battle I have to face every single year. It does get tiring, but it’s nothing new for me.”

And that’s what I don’t get. He makes the Pro Bowl three consecutive seasons in San Francisco and wins a division title there. He takes over for an injured Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia and leads the Eagles to a division championship. Then he steps into the Tampa Bay huddle and takes the last-place Bucs to the top of the NFC South.

Let’s see, that’s three Pro Bowls and three division titles. Something must be right, and that something is Jeff Garcia.

Joe is on record as a big Garcia booster. He saved Chucky’s job last year and we have all seen how rancid Son of Bob is behind center. If not for Garcia, not only are the Bucs not in the playoff hunt, Chucky is working with his brother in the arena league.

Sure, Garcia might set himself up for more sacks than necessary and he may not look downfield enough. But without him, the Bucs are screwed.
