Jaguars Release David Garrard

[SmootSmack]

And if they're going to cut Garrard, why not just start Gabbert right away? Why McCown?

DG was due $8M this year.

Cap move more than anything. McCown can hold down the fort for a few games until Gabbert is ready.

Was he due to start getting his money tomorrow? Even with the cap move, the timing seems odd

Yeah the timing is odd, but as you already pointed out they did this very same thing to Leftwich 4 years ago.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.
