He is a big QB that you would not mind leading your team…as long as it is not your fantasy team. The Jags do not have a passing mindset and if they did, their wideouts are horrible.

Man, if only this guy had someone to throw to. Garrard was knocked down more than any NFL quarterback last season, played with a substandard receiving corps and still managed to accrue for 3,620 yards and 15 touchdowns. If the Jaguars get one of the prized wide receivers in the draft, his numbers could see an uptick.

It seemed like everybody had Garrard pegged for a breakout season in 2008 but unless you consider 15 touchdowns, 13 interceptions, and 42 sacks a breakout it didn’t happen. He did throw for a solid 3620 yards at least. Unless the Jaguars go out and get him some weapons I don’t expect much more this season. He does add some value with his legs as he’s likely to run for a couple of touchdowns.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Garrard. The Jaguars have a solid running game with MJD, but need serious help on the O-line and wide receiving corps. Garrard was hit more than any other quarterback in 2008, and suffered with his receivers dropping more passes than any other team in the league as well, and the just had to cut their number one receiver for repeated drug offenses. If the Jags get him some help, he could end up being highly undervalued come draft day. Watch their offseason and Training Camp closely, but right now I’m being optimistic.

The dreaded “manager of the game” moniker has followed this quarterback throughout his career. Went from 18 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in 2007 to 15 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last year. He lacks the receiving weapons to be fantasy worthy.

Consistently slightly below average quarterback that is perfect for the bye week. The only reason you draft him is if you have an elite level quarterback in place. Which begs the question…if you have an elite level quarterback, shouldn’t you just use this slot for another high upside prospect and just pick up whoever is left on craigslist, errr, the waiver wire when your bye week comes around?

The Jacksonville offensive line didn't help David Garrard last season because quite frankly, they were all incapacitated. He still managed to have a positive touchdown to interception ratio though. Just don't think he'll put up massive numbers week in and week out. He's more of a bench warmer and bye-week fill in.

I considered myself "down" on Garrard until I read all of the above!  As it turns out, I'm the optimist of the bunch.  In a season where Murphy's Law was in full-effect along the offensive line and the running game struggled versus the respectable run defenses, Garrard managed 3,620 yards passing.  A feat that only 50% of us see him repeating in 2009.  The Jags' lost 60% of their offensive line out of the blocks and lack of depth was a killer.  Frankly, I was mildly suprised Jones-Drew put up the numbers he did.  At this early juncture, there's no reason to believe the O-line won't perform well above version 2008.  Lack of speed at WR is a major concern.
