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.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

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

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=Ruhskins;831448]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.[/quote]

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."

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

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

No go

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

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.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=Mattyk;831660]Definitely pass. I don't think we would be interested anyway.[/quote]

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.

[quote]maybe the guy was tired of getting obliterated?[/url]

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.

Lewis could still be a good option. A QBs best friend is a big TE especially in the red zone.

So...does anyone think this is step 1 toward bringing Tebow home

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=SmootSmack;831711]So...does anyone think this is step 1 toward bringing Tebow home[/quote]

Possibly, but I doubt he has much value as a quarterback to them considering they have Yo Gabba Gabbert waiting in the wings as their qb of the future. Unless of course they're sick of Gabbert already lol.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=SmootSmack;831711]So...does anyone think this is step 1 toward bringing Tebow home[/quote]

As I said before, this is more of a step towards moving the team to LA.

[quote=Ruhskins;831740]As I said before, this is more of a step towards moving the team to LA.[/quote]

How so?

Jaguars lease with Jacksonville is going to make them moving a very tough move

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=SmootSmack;831742]How so?

I didn't know about the lease. I guess with the Tebow theory, they would need to bring in a coach that wants Tebow as his QB (McD?). Because I don't see Del Rio staying put unless they make the playoffs, which I doubt would happen with McKown or Gabbert.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

^ I really feel like the Vikings would be better in LA and the Jags in Minnesota.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

Should've let the man go ealier.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=SmootSmack;831711]So...does anyone think this is step 1 toward bringing Tebow home[/quote]

How does drafting Gabbert fit into that?

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

Del Rio is next.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

[quote=Alvin Walton;831776]How does drafting Gabbert fit into that?[/quote]

Insurance if they don't get Tebow? They want two young QBs? They're not interested in Tebow as their everydown starting QB, but are interested in him anyway (both on and off the field)?

Kind of messed up how the Jaguars had Garrard attend a luncheon to help sell Jags tickets...and then released him immediately afterward. Guess he got free lunch at least

That is messed up. If I were Garrard I'd be pissed.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

Gabbert will start by week 3 , jags need to move to LA anyway

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

I think the Jags are headed for some serious dissarray this year and that, yes, Del Rio is out at the end. They remind me of Carolina's last season with J. Fox.

Six wins for them will be a major accomplishment.

[quote=SmootSmack;831789]Kind of messed up how the Jaguars had Garrard attend a luncheon to help sell Jags tickets...and then released him immediately afterward. Guess he got free lunch at least[/quote]

Yeah, that's really low. This whole situation shows a serious lack of professionalism from the Jags FO.

They can say all they want about it being strictly a football choice, but how can this not be about money? Why wait until after cut day, just days before your first game? Bizarre.

Re: Jaguars Release David Garrard
 

So...Urban Meyer to the Jags in 2012? Get your teal jersey ready Scud!

Haha. I'd be pretty surprised if that happens. I think Urban will be the HC at Ohio State next fall.

Did I miss the part where this guy is a really good qb? I can think of at least 20 guys I would rather have. This isn't the colts dropping manning or the pats letting go of Brady. He'll it isn't even the browns getting rid of McCoy.

Does this have anthing to do with money and the new CBA rules??? The Cowboys kinda did Andre Gurode the same way and JJ said it was a money issue as well. Just currious if this is going to be commonplace from now on in the NFL.
