Never trust the words coming out of the mouths of politicians, PR reps, agents, and lawyers.

pigskinswag – it says nothing about him…..it says they haven’t a clue…….especially given they have done it twice.

File a grievance AND a malpractice case against the team Doctor who is an independant contractor and NOT subject to the limitations of the CBA.
Often times the “Doctor”, in treating a player, has the team’s interests at heart instead of the patient’s. If the Doctor’s opinion on Garrard, at the time of his release, was “not injured”( which obviously favors the team) when in fact the player had a serious medical condition while on the roster, he’s liable.

I used to have respect for Garrard. Not any more. Looks evident that he wanted the Dolphins to guarantee his contract so he could get paid and then stiff them with a back surgery he knew he would have. The Dolphins called him on it and he made some negative statements towards the Dolphins. Shady. I’m glad they didn’t get him. Now it comes out and his agent is trying to play games with the timeline. He’s fine so he should get the guarantees from the Dolphins–then, he’s been hurt and can’t play for the Raiders and the Jags organization sucks because they said he was fine when he wasn’t. His agent is shady and has likely impacted Garrard’s judgment.

Agents fault. Get 2nd opinion immediately! Basic right? Go Jags!

Breaking News: David Garrard isn’t any good and the Jaguars were wise to move on. Also, agents are greedy bottom-feeders who work on commission: do the math.

The Jag “fans” agree with that statement. It’s a sorry ogranization and the reason they need to cover that stadium with a tarp and still have black outs almost every week. They also have done this twice to their starting QBs.

absolutely agree, they are a joke of an organization. Jack del rio gets applauded by ownership for saving money. winning is an afterthought. Poor MJD.

Couldn’t the headline have read “Agent trying to blame team for his incompetence”? Instead – Agent called Jaguars Sorry Organization….Just wondering…..

Sooooo David Garrard, you say that the Jacksonville Jaguars are a “sorry organization”…yet they didn’t hesitate to release you and turn the offense over to an unproven rookie…so what does that say about YOU?

Really strange circumstances. Garrard was basically on his way to work out with the Raiders but just suddenly discovers he needs back surgery? I’ve never heard of a serious back problem where you weren’t painfully aware that something was wrong.

Comparing Peyton Manning to David Garrard?? Delusional, to say the least!
Peyton Manning= Super Bowl winner, franchise quarterback, League MVP, a gazillion Pro Bowl selections. Worth waiting to see if his surgically repaired neck heals.

David Garrard= had one good year and cashed in on it. He was an average quarterback after the big payday. More suited to be a back-up quarterback, yet his ego tells him that he’s a star.

There’s something fishy about Garrard’s back injury: 1) while with the Jag’s, he insisted his back was fine and he was healthy 2) the Dolphins were interested in him-guess he didn’t feel like telling them his back wasn’t 100%
3) When Dolphins didn’t pan out-he claimed he was waiting for the “right situation.” What would that be?? Fleecing a team, then going IR for his back?

Good luck collecting on that injury settlement, David.

The only thing that Jax is “sorry” about was not cutting Garrard, who is the epitome of “sorry” years sooner.

Garrard is what we thought he was……. An above average backup.

Pay attention: Jacksonville is such a sorry organization that they continued to play him way past the time he was effective on the field?
They drafted a rookie QB to replace him! Get a clue!
If I was Garrard, who is classy, I would fire the agent immediately and apologize to all those who admired the way he handled himself.
I will be surprised if he ever suits up again in a football uniform.
Side note: Jacksonville is a wonderful NFL town.
Do not criticize if you have never been here, like most of you have not been. When posting from your parent’s basement, consider planning to move out one day and support yourself.

He turned the Dolphins down, then briefly he is interested in going to Oakland….Oooops, never mind he needs surgery. Oh, and it’s all the Jaguars fault…Timeline doesn’t make any sense…Why didn’t this come out at time of his release?? Would have been much more credible…as it stands, it’s a pretty weak argument Agent sir.

@golonger,
You are a third-tier individual. So, do everybody a favor. Shut your piehole. You are attracting flies.

I got 5 herniated due to a major military service connected injury and only get $249.00 a month for it. Alot of people in their 30′s have herniated discs. Quit whining Irby, you ain’t getting no more money, girly man!

The only easy day was yesterday…

The Jags are a “sorry” organization because this guy can’t take 5% of Garrard’s undeserved 8 million.

I hope the Jags never do business with Irby ever again. Ever. Being dissed by a slimy, career lawyer. Wow.

Garrard was cut because he sucked and brought nothing but mediocrity out of this team.

And to all you little parrots who haven’t yet developed the skills of critical thinking, i.e. dankinator, way to go. You just repeated every word Garrard’s agent said in your post, you mindless twit.

Irby obv didn’t have Garrard get a second opinion about his back before his release from the Jags.

That was Irby’s job. He failed his client and now he’s trying to blame the Jags. This is on Irby.

“Now you know the difference between a first-class quarterback like Manning, and a sorry quarterback like Garrard.”

By: udtfrogmanvet

udtfrogmanvet — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:33:34 +0000

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, Irby. Garrard got paid plenty here in Jax with some return, but not enough for what he was given.
Garrard is a classy man, but you are a knucklehead.

It pays to be a winner…

Something isn’t right here. It doesn’t explain why Garrard said this to ESPN in an article posted nine days ago:

“People ask me about my back problems. My back is fine. In fact, once I got into camp (with the Jaguars), my back stopped bothering me”

By: jag9

jag9 — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:29:14 +0000

I have always had respect for David Garrard up until now. This is agent BS and Garrard has control over this turd. It took 6 weeks to determine he had a serious back problem? Please…… Very easy to blame the team. Exit physicals are extremely comprehensive and the player has to sign and agree to the release. I’ve been there. Oh, my back hurts so I need to go back on the team I played for years ago? Agent BS!

Memo to Garrard’s rep. Go sell some used cars Al Irby.

Take the millions you stole from the Jags and their fans and take a hike.

I feel bad for Garrard due to his sorry agent.

I’d sue the hell out of the Jags if I were him. They knew he wasn’t right and let him go instead of paying him.

Now, he has to have surgery.

What a sorry organization indeed.

By: jimbobobjr

jimbobobjr — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 14:25:10 +0000

I agree. Any organization that would have David Garrard as their starting QB is a sorry organization.
