Jeff Garcia: is the guy really going to turn Tampa Bay from a four win team to a playoff contender? To hear David Dorsey of The News-Press tell it, expect at least the offense to dramatically turn around. That's not a lot to expect, considering how dreadful that unit was last season. I don't mean to sound uninspired by Garcia's arrival, but I think his supposed resurgence in Philadelphia had much more to do with Andy Reid's offensive philosophy than it did Garcia, who Football Outsiders ranked as the 18th best quarterback last season. Let's just say that I'd be more surprised if the Bucs won 10 games than if they won five. Personally, I'd rather have Jake Plummer (really), who in 2005 was one of the best QBs in the league. But apparently he's not coming out of retirement anytime soon -- and if he does, Garcia says he can "come sit the bench." Nice. Now, on the defensive side of the ball, Tampa is going to need Simeon Rice to be healthy -- they are expecting him to return to Pro Bowl form. Finally, if anybody knows of any good Bucs blogs, let me know in the comments.
Pro Bowl corner DeAngelo Hall, taking rookie Chris Houston under his wing. That should be one formidable cornerback duo for years to come.
Are the Kansas City Chiefs going to win even five games this year? I'm telling you, with Brodie Croyle under center, and a used-and-abused Larry Johnson carrying the load, this offense is going to be putrid. Not that I don't think Croyle can be a solid QB in this league; I just think this season will be a tough learning curve for him.
The potential replacement (if it comes to that) for Patriots corner Asante Samuel? A guy you've probably never heard of.
