Jack Del Rio and the Jacksonville Jaguars organization are blaming Del Rio's last six years of no playoff appearances on David Garrard. I feel it's the managing staff of the Jaguars. They are not an aggressive team during the free agents busts and they try to save all of their money. I don't understand, we see it year after year the teams that don't spend money don't win games it's that easy. Teams like the Buffalo Bills, Detroit Lions, and Cleveland Browns shoot for young guys that will accept little cash or washed up veterans. These teams need to exploit the market if they want change, not drop their only stars.
I feel that the Jacksonville Jaguars are going down hill from here; if Jacksonville thinks Blaine Gabbert is the answer i feel differently. He needs time to feel for the league, the NFL is a big step up for young stars like Gabbert he needs to develop, Garrard good have been the veteran to teach him new things but now its up to Luke McCown. Jacksonville faces the Tennessee Titans this weekend for their season opener and unless Maurice Jones Drew can have a break out performance i don't see the Jaguars coming out with a win. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6936966/jacksonville-jaguars-release-david-garrard-days-opener
There's no way that Blaine Gabbert is going to be ready for this year. He's way too raw of a quarterback and needs more time to develop. I can see the Jags understanding behind it, mainly due to the 9 million dollar cap hit he'd take on their payroll, but still, if the Jags were gonna compete in the AFC South this year, Garrard would've been their guy.
ReplyDeleteI definately agree that it was a dumb move on getting rid fo Garrard. Blaine Gabbert comes from a spread system in Missouri, and he still seems far away from being ready to lead this team. Garrard has been the leader for years and they should have kept him to be a bridge to Gabbert.
