Jaguars Release David Garrard

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Shocked at the news that they released DG. He gave them the best chance to win, and now that Peyton may be done it has left the division wide open. Seems as though you may want to keep the best option you have at QB when you have an opportunity to win the division again.

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

I think Eisen nailed it on this tweet...

"Rich Eisen
Peyton doutbful for who knows how long, Garrard cut last minute, Titans in flux: if this isn't the Texans year I don't know when is."

Wonder how much of a cut they were looking for? Shocked he didn't take it.

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



Jacksonville Jaguars release David Garrard days before opener - ESPN

Garrard was hit repeatedly in last week's preseason finale against St. Louis and had an animated exchange with his offensive line on the sideline.

That, too, had become an issue inside the facility, with Garrard pointing the finger more often than taking the blame. He blamed an interception against Atlanta on receiver Mike Thomas and then ripped the line for Thursday's problems.

maybe the guy was tired of getting obliterated?

Maybe the Jags waited this long so DG has no other choice but to come back for less money?

They said on SiriusXM NFL this morning that the 8m was not guaranteed until he made the opening day starting roster. Also that he was floated for a trade during the preseason but with no takers they cut him before the money became guaranteed.

No, they locked up T Jax to a lucrative extension and Carroll likes him for whatever reason. They are going to try to "develop" him. Go figure.... Poverty man's Michael Vick.

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.

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."
