Goodbye Clemens, Hello Garcia?

by Jonathan Fosburgh on Dec 6, 2011 3:19 PM CST

From Twitter (Pancakes included):

McClain_on_NFL John McClain Texans are going to sign Jeff Garcia as their third QB. They want 2 veterans behind rookie T.J. Yates. Jake Delhomme signed last week.

MarkBermanFox26 Mark Berman Texans have released QB Kellen Clemens and placed punter Brett Hartmann on IR.

Those are the only sources so far.

Additional info from Pancakes:

McClain_on_NFL John McClain Texans worked out Jeff Garcia in each of the last 2 weeks. He used to play for QB coach Greg Knapp in San Francisco.

If Garcia failed the first two tryouts, then Clemens must be horrid.

UPDATE: Looks like some confirmation coming in:

HoustonTexans Houston Texans The #Texans have placed P Brett Hartmann (left knee) on injured reserve and released QB Kellen Clemens

yeah imagine all the quarterbacking experience compiled on the Texans bench

and then add in the injured texans quarterbacks.

It’s going to be amazing how much info they can pass along to each other.

TJ’s got mentors everywhere he turns and I think it’s about more than this season.

Except we must wonder exactly what Leinart is teaching him

Probably somewhere along the lines of hot tub etiquette & how to pick up multiple chicks

Then again, Jeff Garcia could teach him how to make the most of what you got

His wife would be the perfect case study

2. Make the most of What you got from Garcia
3. ???
4. Better that profit!!

Garcia is older but more proven than Delhomme

If Yates goes down. We already know Yates can do it.

For what it’s worth, they did lose him for 1 game. Or rather 1 1/2. He went out the Lions game with a concussion and was out for the Pats. Most notables that were IR’ed that I can think of off the top of my head were starting RB, ILB, safety, TE, and DE.
