The Facts:
Shortly after he took on Tampa Bay's defense in the team's first padded practice of the year, Garcia faced questions from the media regarding the Bucs' reported interest in retired Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre. "I feel like I'm the starting quarterback here. I know I'm the starting quarterback here," Garcia said. "If that changes, they either ship me out because something else has come in, or if something else comes in, as much as the accolades are huge on that side, I'm the starting quarterback here and it's going to be a battle."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
After completing a career-high 63.9 percent of his passes for 2,440 yards and tossing 13 touchdowns and four interceptions in 13 games last year, Garcia has certainly earned the right to sit atop the depth chart -- even on the off chance Favre shows up at some point. But that doesn't mean Garcia -- or anybody -- will ever satisfy HC Jon Gruden. In fact, asked why the Gruden-led Bucs seem to always be linked to available quarterbacks, Garcia delivered an intriguing answer. "He loves quarterbacks," the QB said of Gruden. "But he likes to just date, he doesn't like to marry."
