Neither is 28 other starting QB’s in the league. Garrard is a good QB though and can take you to the playoff and even the SB if the Jaguars had a top defense. This year the Jag defense was so horrible any QB would struggle to bring in wins.

Bottomline, this year’s QB drafting crop will be heavy and is the PERFECT time to draft a QB to sit behind Garrard and learn. Hell, is we can fix this defense this off season, I believe Garrard will surprise a lot of people next year.

He’s nothing more than average.

Therefore, their first choice will most likely be a DB.

What is the fascination with Garrard?

- One Year Later, Mark Sanchez is still not an elite quarterback.

or..

Jay Culter
Kyle Orton
Eli Manning
Carson Palmer
Matt Hassleback

All had passer ratings below Garrard this year.

There are about 5 “elite QBs” and10 “horrible” QBs, and the rest are around the same. QB is the least of the Jaguars concerns…

What? Youre going to tell me Peyton Manning is only a good quarterback because he has elite talent? That’s assanine. He was working with one starter for the majority of this season with all of the injuries the Colts had. I never realized Jacob Tamme and Blair White were household names. Too many of you people that right on here dont appreciate how lucky we are to watch two quarterbacks like Brady and Manning in thier primes. No, we have to continually bash the opposite in order to make ourselves feel better. Just appreciate that you get to watch a guy like Manning (and Brady), and that you arent stuck with a generation of guys like David Garrard.

I hope I am just misunderstanding your post because nobody can be that ignorant.

We make due with what we have. And we have David Garrard, who isn’t elite like Manning and Brady, whoop de doo, so does most of the other 31 teams in the league.

@dolfan: If we wanted to put extra butts in the seats with a single pick, we would’ve picked up the hometown “Golden Boy” last year at #10.

As usual with the Jags, they will continue to draft an underachiever with their 1st pick, and then draft a QB in the 3rd or 4th round.

Garrard is decent/competent but nowhere near elite.

He’d be an improvement in SF, Oakland, Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona, Washington, Minnesota and maybe Buffalo.

He would put butts in the seats and bring some excitment to the Jags. He’d be the ultimate risk/reward guy which maybe the Jags need.

I would think Dalton or Ponder would be more like it, especially if they plan on having that QB sit for a year. They need a starter out of their first pick. They need DBs (FS, SS in particular) REAL BAD!

The bad news for the AFC South teams other than the Colts is, you not only have to beat the best QB in your division, you have to beat the best QB in the league.

The Colts will own as long as the Sheriff plays.
