NFL Football Season 2007- 08
Favorite Players by Team
NFC - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jeff Garcia
He is a near-perfect field general with 38 years old.
Experienced in a West Coast system from his days in San Francisco, Garcia produced a rating of 94.6 last season, throwing 13 touchdowns and turning the ball over a total of six times (four picks, two fumbles).
While Garcia has never been seriously injured, health concerns come into play with the former Canadian league star.
Last year, he battled a sore back late in the season. In prior years he’s dealt with shoulder and ankle problems.
Garcia's addition brought needed stability to an offense that compensated for a lack of big-play capability by minimizing mistakes and capitalizing on those of the opposition.
The Buccaneers had an NFC-low 20 giveaways in 2007 and also topped the conference with a plus-15 turnover margin.
Garcia was intercepted just four times in 327 pass attempts, the second-lowest percentage among starting quarterbacks
