Last week I watched Cleveland Browns' QB Jeff Garcia play in disgust. He should never attempt to repeat his performance against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday in Dallas.

The Cleveland Browns ended up with a 19-12 loss to the Cowboys. Jeff Garcia managed to complete 8 passes for just 71 yards. It had to be embarrassing missing a sure touchdown pass to Browns' Quincy Morgan in the first quarter. Garcia also threw three interceptions, no touchdowns, and never looked to be in the game. He looked worse than a rookie starting his first game in the NFL.

Browns' Coach Butch Davis never showed any indication during Sunday's loss that he might yank Garcia for backup QB Kelly Holcomb. This may have angered some Browns' fans. Cleary, Davis needs to make the playoffs to keep his job, at least let's hope he realizes this point. Yet I hope Garcia can get his act together, and lead the Browns to victory over the NY Giants this weekend. Nobody needs to motivate the veteran QB this week, it falls squarely on his shoulders.
