David Garrard

Jacksonville Jaguars

2009 Review

David Garrard is like Mount Rushmore. It's impressive the first time you see it, but every year when you go back it seems like nothing changed. In fact, it might seem like it deteriorated in some aspects. Garrard’s stats from 2008 might as well have been slotted into the 2009 books before the season ever started because not a single category that matters changed in the slightest.  Never mind that he had one of the best running backs in the league behind him in Maurice Jones-Drew, and never mind that he had one of the best up-and-coming receivers lining up on the outside for him in Mike Sims-Walker; still, nothing changed.  Garrard proved himself to be a mediocre quarterback at best in 2009, and the likelihood of him ever rising above that assessment in the future, especially at the age of 32, is slim to none.


~ Ranked 15th in the league in QB fantasy points with 218.2 (basic scoring system)


~ Ranked 22nd in the league with 15 passing touchdowns


~ Ranked 17th in the league with a 83.5 QB Rating


~ Ranked 15th in the league with a 60.9% completion percentage


~ Ranked 18th in the league with 224.8 passing yards per game


~ Ranked 16th in the league with 314 completions


~ Ranked ninth in the league with 516 attempts


~ Ranked 16th in the league with 3,597 passing yards


~ Ranked 17th in the league in yards/attempt (6.97)


~ Ranked first in the league in rushing yards for a QB (323 yards)


~ Tied for second in the league in rushing TDs for a QB (3)


~ Tied for fourth in the league for the most amount of sacks taken (42) by a QB who started at least ¾ of his team’s games


~ Set career bests in rushing yards (323) and tied a career best in rushing TDs (3)

2010 Fantasy Outlook

Take a look at Garrard’s last two years worth of stats and you’ll know exactly what you are going to get in 2010 if your draft him to your fantasy team.  It’s possible his numbers could rise a slight bit due to having a full year under his belt with resident studs MJD and Mike Sims-Walker, but the rise would still only take him into the “decent” fantasy backup quarterback range.


~ The Jaguars will likely start to use Maurice Jones-Drew more efficiently in 2010, so that could hurt Garrard


~ If Mike Sims-Walker and Mike Thomas step it up this year, Garrard could increase his fantasy value to high-end backup status


~ In the end, the Jaguars are still the Jaguars

Featured Pieces

Not only can he play football at a consistent level year-in and year-out, but he apparently can also cook. We will be the first to admit that we never saw Rachael Ray appear on this website, but without further ado, here's the dip that Garrard made for Ray's show before the Super Bowl in 2009.

Best play in Jags history?

Some say this is the best play in the Jags brief history given the circumstances and the occasion. It certainly put them in field goal range as time ran down in the 2008 Wild Card round of the playoffs. You be the judge. One thing is fo sho tho, Garrard is fast.

Staying Put

 


Garrard has had quite a tumultuous path to get where he is today. One year after the Jags drafted in to be the successor to the only starting QB the franchise had in Mark Brunell, they fired their coach Tom Coughlin and got a new GM, James Harris. Harris proceeded to draft Byron Leftwich in 2003, the year after Garrard was drafted, with the seventh overall pick. Despite obviously feeling betrayed, Garrard stuck with the team after having a chance to leave in 2004 and it paid off. Leftwich, unable to stay healthy, was hurt for games at a time year after year and after filling in for all those sporadic games, Garrard finally won the starting job for good in 2007. In that year, he tied an NFL record by throwing only 3 interceptions on 325 attempts. Not bad for a guy playing with Chron's disease. Yet, in his two full years as a starter, he’s 12-20 and might be given the exit before the Jags relocate to Los Angeles (it’s just a rumor, but it will happen).

Injury Report

Yellow

He missed three games due to an ankle injury in 2007 (the 4th was week 17, and he was rested for the playoffs), and although he played in all 16 games in ’08, he is a mobile QB and inherently at more of a risk because of it.

Breaking News

Pro Bowl: Manning replaced by David Garrard expand +

Due to the Colts being in the Super Bowl the following weekend, quarterback Peyton Manning has been replaced on the Pro Bowl roster for Sunday by Jaguars QB David Garrard.

Pyro's Take:

This could possibly the worst Pro Bowl selection ever. 15 TDs, 10 INTs, and a QB rating of 83.5 on the season, for a losing team no less, just doesn't cut it in our book. However, with Manning in the Super Bowl, Rivers, Brady, Roethlisberger, Flacco, and Palmer all injured, and Schaub and Vinsanity already on the team, there's not much left to choose from. Kyle Orton would have been a better choice here, especially considering the numbers: 21 TDs, 12 INTs, 86.8 QB rating, and an 8-8 record wins out.

Del Rio has one foot out the door... expand +

Jags coach Jack Del Rio has apparently made some phone early stage recruiting calls in anticipation of being offered the head coaching job vacated by Pete Carrol this past weekend (made official today), according to SI's Peter King.

Pyro's Take:

Del Rio is set to meet w/ Jags owner Wayne Weaver on Tuesday of this week, and speculation is rampant that his heart lies with the USC job - irrespective of how the meeting goes.

Coach Del Rio throws Garrard under the bus expand +

After coming under some serious heat for not getting running back Maurice Jones-Drew the ball more on Sunday, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio decided to take away QB David Garrard's ability to call audibles on run plays for the time being.
"We took that privilege away or that ability away and said, 'Look, just hand it to him and let him run the ball,'" Del Rio said.

Pyro's Take:

Del Rio is on a serious hot seat right now and is looking to deflect blame away from his ineptitude. MJD had 8 carries for 177 yards, yet should be getting the ball at least 15-20 times a game. There's no way Garrard audibled off of 7+ running plays Jack. Nice try.
Look for MJD to be a prominent fantasy football RB1 from here on out as Del Rio leans on his best player in an effort to save his job.

Del Rio critical of Garrard's play on Sunday expand +

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio had this to say about quarterback David Garrard on Tuesday: "He missed some things. I don't think there's any question about that... He's got to execute. We've just got to execute plays. If the plays are there, you've got to be able to take advantage of them. There are some things we feel we could have done better."

Pyro's Take:

Garrard didn't look very good in the opener, that's for sure. However, his fantasy worth isn't as a starter, so that shouldn't have affected your team last week. He's still a decent backup for the '09 season.
