Jaguars Release David Garrard

Pay attention to this Skins fans. This could be our new QB...

No, he's ****ing points his finger at everywhere else but himself. He's a McNabb-lite in that regard. Now, Rex Grossman may not be a true leader(we really can't tell from our vantagepoint), but he at least takes care of his own business and doesn't rub guys the wrong way. Not to mention that Garrard folds against tough defenses like a paper pyramid.

If I were Cincy I would offer him a one year deal, just in case Dalton falls hard.

So was there some type of beef between Garrard and the team. Because that's a bit of an FU move to release him right before the start of the season.

Probably had something to do with performance and $$ according to Del Rio.
Quoting him: “I had met with him a couple of weeks ago and brought him in and said, ‘Hey, listen, you’re my guy. I need you to get it going.’ He was given every opportunity. He was somewhat apologetic that he wasn’t able to deliver.” shocker nontheless.

"@SI_PeterKing: Garrard went to Welcome Jags season-opening banquet at noon today, then got news from Del Rio, GM Smith, WWeaver. Tough business."

I"m going with D) Hell no. for my final answer Regis.

I think we are trying to stay away from guys like this.

Definitely pass. I don't think we would be interested anyway.

No go

I'll say this: of all the quarterbacks who were available at any point during this offseason, Garrard is the best.

I don't see a specific fit here, other than the obvious part where he would be our best quarterback. But to be fair, we just made a difficult move in a direction away from that type of quarterback. And to be clear, by that type, I don't mean "black", I mean the specific style of passer (the Rob Johnson type) who gets the job done by holding the ball and relying on athleticism to avoid sacks and move the chains rather than beating a defense with a quick release or vertical passing game off of play action.

Garrard plays very much in the mold of McNabb and Campbell, guys who got absolutely victimized by an offensive line that could not win at the point of attack. He's really, really good at what he does, though. Some team will find a spot for him.

Definitely pass. I don't think we would be interested anyway.

We've already got a QB controversy with two guys that have at least one full season of this system under their belts. Throw in a QB who's more talented than Beck or Rex but is lacking in experience in the system... Talk about a shit storm. No thank you.

I'd say so. Part of the reason that Blaine started that first preseason game was because David was dealing with back issues. I can't imagine getting sacked and hit and beat up for three games wouldn't get frustrating.

What really sucks is that Mercedes Lewis is my starting tight end in fantasy football and I have no idea who to replace him with.

That's balls.
