As coaches will tell you, football is a numbers game. Right now, Tim Rattay's are better than Jeff Garcia's.
For that reason, Rattay, who is 100 percent healthy, probably will start at quarterback for the 49ers on Sunday in Green Bay, Wis., instead of Garcia, who is 60-70 percent with a sprained ankle.
Although coach Dennis Erickson did not make an announcement Tuesday on his starting quarterback for this short-week game, he implied that Garcia's health would preclude him from playing against the Packers at Lambeau Field.
