But oh oh, if they win the Superbowl without my son, what would be the real outcome with the fans? Will they crucify him?""Maybe, then the trade talks would begin. Off season madness, worse than last year's fiasco. But guess what, I guess I'll have to take the beating if it comes. I would have to hope that scenario of the madness would not happen or be that bad. Well let's wait and see."The item appears on the official McNabb Web site.Since the Eagles went on a playoff run with Garcia at quarterback substituting for an injured Donovan McNabb, there has been a growing debate among fans in public about which quarterback should play for the Eagles next fall.McNabb's rehab is expected to extend into late summer, while Garcia is a free agent next February.We've received a huge amount of e-mail on the subject. (Some selected comments are in the slideshow above.)And in an NBC 10 Live Vote, about 62 percent of fans preferred Garcia to McNabb as the starting quarterback for 2007.Within the Eagles' locker room, this is a nonissue.McNabb won't address the issue publicly but they are believed to get along very well. Garcia has said publicly that McNabb is the team's quarterback and he's here to help until McNabb can play again."This is his position,” Jeff Garcia said Wednesday. “I have a temporary hold on it.
