————————————–
I figured it would be the Ravens because Baltimore has said that Michael McAdoo is going to be moved to the practice squad, which would open up a spot on the active roster. If I remember correctly, after the first week of the season, money given to veterans signed at that time is no longer guaranteed. If I am wrong, never mind, but if I am right, the Ravens could sign Garrard, have him backup Flacco, and not have to guarantee any of the money given him should they decide that Tyrod Taylor is ultimately a better option.

Gararrd > the starting quarterbacks for Seattle, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Carolina, Washington, and of course JACKSONVILLE
———————————

Last year he was 13th in QB rating and 7th completion percentage. He’s roughly better than 20 of the 32 qbs in the league. He may not be elite but he won’t stink up the the place

The Redskins QB is Rex Grossman and nobody is brining up the skins as a potential place for Garrard?

Just clarify… the Packers, Pats, and Saints suggestion was made in total sarcasm. I thought that was obvious.

citynative got a lot of thumbs down for his suggestion of packers, pats, saints, but whether he was serious or not, those teams should be calling. those are 3 teams expect to at least be in conf champ game and if their qb goes down have no shot. but plug garrard on any of those teams and they are deep enough all around to not have a wasted season.
is garrard willing to be a backup though?

Every 49er fan is all over this lol. Dan Snider is going to pick him up and sign him to a 7 year 100mil contract

NFL and management wonder why fans do not show up for this circus! Del Rio is a joke. They will be in the cellar again and move….NFL will call it fan indifference but reality is these people are worse than incompetent.

McCown has proven he cannot play. Gabbert is fine until he gets hit! Go back and watch his college games and see what happens after he gets hit a couple of times! Or, maybe look back at some high school games and see the same thing. He starts throwing the ball away or taking off running!

I hope he goes to Seattle. Tavaris sucks and Dave’s used to a bad OL.

I can’t believe Jack snookered “Mr. Weaver” (first time I’ve heard him kiss his a$$ like that) again on this whole m.o. He must not be that bright.

Cut Clausen or Derrick Anderson, bring in Garrard as a back-up and mentor to Cam. When Cam inevitably gets hurt at some point (not sliding when he should most likely) we will have a competent backup. Clausen and Anderson together dont have the talent to hold Garrards jockstrap.

I could understand this move if Gabbert was going to start immediately. I understand that he is the QB of the future and needs a few games up to 1 season to get the hang of things. They could of traded him up to week 6, or at the end of the yr. Just to give Gabbert a mentor who has is used to handling the pressure of being the starting QB. Del Rio is going to feel like an idiot, if Garrard goes to a team that is more complete and repeats what he did in 2007.

I wouldnt be suprised if Arizona was one of the teams that called. Kolb needs a solid back up just in case he struggles or gets injured. And if Garrard had to play a full season there in that division he could take them into the playoffs

This had to be a last minute decision, that’s the only thing I can say. I don’t think these guys would purposely tell me one thing and [do another].”

Simple as to why they got rid of him. With Garrard, expectations are higher. With the rookie and McCown, pressure’s off, they’re “building for the future”…..Truth is, they’re winning 6 games either way, but in one scenario Del Rio gets fired, in the other he’s “building”, buys himself time, and saves the owner 8 big ones. Del Rio is brilliant and savvy.

by the way, Snyder don’t sign Del Rio’s leftovers!!!!

Not sure why they keep delaying the inevitable. Just start Gabbert already.

Garrard will be a nice pick for some team. He just ran the course in Jax.. Besides a #10 1st rounder won’t sit the bench for long. Good Luck Dave.

…and the Jaguars have expressed interest in Garrard signing with the Colts, Texans or Titans.

the 49ers would be a perfect fit for Garrard… and it just so happens there are only 2 qbs on their roster
