Garrard released by Jags

Jack Del Rio would like to personally apologize to anyone who drafted David Garrard as a backup quarterback this Fantasy season.

 

Wouldn't Norfolk be a non-starter because of the Redskins? Its only a few hours away and could be in the sphere of influence? Dunno for sure, just speculating.

Is there enough of a fan/population base to support a team in San Antonio?

Would the league consider a second team in Chicago? Works in NY. (Don't think it will really happen).

I think the best option would be Toronto, which I think is testing the water with the Bills "home games."



And Garrard would be ok, but he ain't bringing home any championships.

 

If the Skins couldn't block the Ravens, they won't be able to block Norfolk. They'd try, because Hampton Roads is Redskins country, but it wouldn't go far.

San Antonio is 1.3 million in the city and 2.15 in the metro. They're also closer to Austin (less than two hours) than Houston or Dallas. Having two teams within a day's drive might be a problem, but the three cities seem to manage with their basketball teams.

Never say never, but I'd be surprised if they double up in Chicago or anywhere else.

Toronto I'm assuming will eventually get the Bills.

 

Johnny Unitas wouldn't be bringing home any championships with the 2011 Jaguars.

 

Obviously football is a completely different beast than basketball but who saw OKC has a viable pro basketball city seven years ago? I'm sure there are cities out there that would work well with a football team. Find a football crazy city with a decent population but preferably no major college football team in town.

I don't know the city practically at all but geographically and population wise what about Albuquerque or better yet Tulsa. Both have big enough population's, no team close by and in Tulsa's case it is in a football crazy state.

 

Ok City has been blessed with an above-average, exciting team.

Put a serving of garbage in there, and see what you get.

 

Jacksonville fans should be on the lookout for Mayflower trucks.

 

And this is what makes this move so idiotic.

This probably will be the worst division in football if Manning does not play, so why not keep this guy around to try and make the playoffs.? A sack of practice footballs might win this division if Schaub goes down.

Shit, he beat Pittsburgh, in Pittsburgh, in the playoffs. You know, a team with two rings in three trips in recent years?

 

93,that is the problem with Garrard. The Jaguars compensated him based on that season and since then he has not improved. He is a guy who dumps the ball off to protect his QB rating, has a history of blaming the WR's and OL and has never been a leader. It's telling when the QB isn't voted by as teammates as a captain. He has played and practiced like shit and even though it appears the division is up for grabs, it wasn't with the way Garrard has played this summer.

 

I will note that one man's "dumps the ball off" is another man's "finds the open receiver consistently." It's all a matter of perspective. And if the Jags expect McCown to "improve", they really are delusional.

 

You're right about everything except he doesn't have a history of blaming others. He's usually been pretty good about taking the fall himself. It's just that he's been saying for years he needs to get better and he never did. He did say, "I have no one to blame but myself."
