Garcia has quite a number of fans, and rightly so! His accomplishments include 12 seasons in the league, 4 playoff appearances, and 4 Pro Bowls. These accolades won the hearts of many NFL fanatics and made him one of the best-accomplished quarterbacks of all time. Garcia made his mark with the San Francisco 49ers, with whom he was associated for five years. Before his time in the Bay, he showcased his talent in the CFL, and it was through the CFL that he showed to the world that he had it in himself to make it to the NFL!
The time that Garcia had spent in San Fran had both the ingredients of turmoil and success! He had quite a tumultuous equation with Terrell Owens, who had reportedly commented about Garcia’s sexuality. Owens had gone to the extent of referring to Garcia as a rat! From this statement, everybody understood the kind of bitter-sour relationship that Owens had with the QBs! After Garcia left the 49ers, he jumped around to several teams to get the starting position. Along with this, he had to go through a lot of injuries. After a bit of lumping around, he finally found his foot in Tampa Bay, where he was selected to his fourth and final Pro Bowl, and he did all of these while leading the Bucs to the playoffs.
Tim Couch
Back in 1999, the Browns had come into the NFL as an extension team and were provided with the first pick in the NFL draft. With that first go, they took the decision to address the quarterback position by selecting Tim Couch, who was a major part of the University of Kentucky. Most of the world considers him as a massive bust, but there is yet some space for this accusation to get any proof. He does not have a record of selling any weapons and got drafted to an expansion team, which was, at that time, building right from scratch. In fact, his offensive line was often compared to a porous rock, as in a rock that would have done a better job at blocking than his line.
The reason why Couch could not survive in the field for more than five years was due to the multiple numbers of times he had been subjected to injury. In a total of these five years, it was only during one season that he had more touchdowns to his credit than interceptions. He tried to make comebacks in the NFL by signing with many teams, but unfortunately, he could never step out of the preseason.
Announcer
After his retirement, Couch had resorted to announcing just like most of the quarterbacks. He has recently become the announcer for the Browns preseason games and has called the SEC games.
Though the world expected that Couch would be relevant in bringing back the Browns into relevancy, people were disappointed. For his announcing career, he received unflinching support from his wife, Heather Kozar, a famous Playboy model.
Happily Married
Garcia’s life after retirement has been pretty satisfactory. Married to the former Playmate of the Year Carmella DeCesare, he runs a non-profit like many other players.
He has also tried to try his hand in the coaching scene, which includes a few stints in the CFL and a personal coach for the likes of Mark Sanchez and Tyrod Taylor.
Jeff George
George is mainly characterized by a nasty arm and a nastier mullet. With these plus points, as well as an impressive college career, he was the topmost choice and became the first overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft. During this time, the Indianapolis Colts had also gambled on the gunslinger.
George’s professional front was far from impressive. For a top overall pick, he only managed to lead two different teams into the playoffs. Though he had some success, everyone mainly considered him a fickle-minded person who had bounced around in 8 teams in a span of 14 seasons! Apart from four seasons, he did not bother to start in all sixteen games in any of the other seasons whatsoever.
