Garrard Works Out For Jets Today

Let him start for KC and they're abortion of an offense and you get ****.

If you want to say that Rex's offense has been the worst prooductive for QB's over the past two years -I'll agree 100%.

Change that to "tell him what the defensive play call is" and then give him the officials in his pocket, and add in some oline holding, and you may have something.

Wrong once again, the Jets G&P system went to two AFCCG's , when the horses necessary to run the G&P were gone so was the G&P but our stubborn HC still insisted it was the way to success. Sanchez crumbled in part because the Rex system became ineffective.

He may not be the calibre of QB to put his team on his shoulders and carry them but they need to give him an offensive identity before we can try to find out what he is.

He will cost the vet minimum ($800K for a player his age), will be a decent backup and is cheaper than Tebow ($2 mil). Alex Smith is not that good you guys are so wrong about him and Matt Moore it isn't funny.

Garrard is also > Sanchez.

Garrard 85.8 QBR, 61.6% Completion, 89 TD and 54 INT
Sanchez 71.6, 55.1%, 68 and 69

Historically , I 'd say 15+ . For every can't miss prospect- Manning, Luck , RGIII, Bradshaw,Aikman there's the QB drafted later who flourised with proper coaching team personnel - Brady, Marino, Rodgers, Favre, Staubach etc....

And on the flip side just any many top 5 who flamed out - Russell, Carr, Couch, Mirer, Leaf etc....

Yes, he sucked in 2012 but so did the whole damn O. People *****ed all season about how poor the WRs and RBs were but its all the QBs fault? Where is the '12 OC? QB Coach? Now can Mornhenwig straighten him out? We'll find out. If not, he's gone in '14. But don't say he hasn't done ****. It's an ignorant comment.

Cassell looked good in 2010 when he had 27 tds and 7 picks.. In 2011 Charles was lost for the season and TJ was old and shot plus Haley got replaced by Crennel.. BTW Rex really doesn't have a offensive system that was one of the problems..

If healthy I agree. Why this move is such a no-brainer

Indeed in Garrard's last year with Jacksonville he concluded the 2010 season by throwing for 23 touchdowns, 2,734 yards and a quarterback rating of 91, while earning a spot in the 2010 Pro Bowl. Jacksonville drafted a QB and cut Garrard to stop from giving Garrard the money he deserved...ummm how did that work out for Jacksonville??

Great right

Garrard has been a better NFL QB then Quin or Sanchez or all of the other FA QBs available now!!! Are we kidding!!!

FF run amuck!!!

Good Grief!!!

Problem with Garrard is he's not a sexy name like Alex Smith, Matt Moore or Nick Foles. He's been off the radar for a couple years so 20 year old Jets fans haven't been seeing him in SC highlights and fantasy football drafts.

But if healthy Garrard is better than all those aforementioned qbs and will cost the league minimum.

I have no clue about the league minimum, but the money would indeed be short, and he would have little problem beating out Sanchez, if indeed the QB competition is open and legitimate.

My prediction is E.J Manuel as the starter in 2014. he has all the tools to be a franchise back.

Whoops, i meant franchise QB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it's around $835K league minimum for someone with as many years in the NFL as Garrard. Signing Garrard and cutting Tebow would save us an add'l $1mil in cap room and Garrard is better than Tebow with none of his baggage.

This is why I suggested two years ago to bring Garrard in to compete with Sanchez, get Sanchez put on the bench and then have Sanchez learn what the heck he is supposed to do as an NFL QB.

Now we are getting him three years later. Is Garrard going to be as good as he would have been then? No...

But there is no way in the world he makes the consistently dumb plays we saw Sanchez make last year.

Why some folks are reflexively against Garrard is beyond me.

2: See 1.



We're most likely not drafting a QB until 2014, so go ahead and throw that dream out the window. As for the other 3...HUH? You want us, a team that needs every pick we can get, to trade for a QB who's entire reputation is based off of 1 game in the GB offense; a QB who only started for Philly because Vick is made of glass, and when he did he was nothing special; a QB who had 1 good year in Philly, got traded to Arizona and proceeded to do absolutely nothing. Yeah, no thank you.

Let's just roll with Garrard/Sanchez/Quinn/Whoever in 2013 and wait patiently until 2014 rolls around.

I don't think we should wait. Draft a QB this year and next year. We've seen QB's drafted outside of the 1st round have a lot of success recently - Dalton, Kaepernick, Wilson. Not a difficult concept.

Starting your boy Garrard does nothing for this franchise.

[rextilleon]

I'm giving Idzak a pass on this quarter back situation. The cap situation is horrendous and there is no way the Jets can afford a real NFL QB. So we will settle for Gerard and perhaps Quinn. It will be interesting to see if they draft one, but this class isn't great. Sanchez will be the starting QB on opening day. Another season gone down the tubes---Lets just hope that the guy can turn this chaotic mess around.

I agree with part one of your statement. I can't imagine not taking a QB somewhere between the 3rd and 7th rounds. Bray, Dysert, Scott - take a shot on someone.

I disagree with part two. As a season ticket holder, I can't bear watching Sanchez play another game as our starting QB. Garrard could at least make the games watchable.

In essence that's my point in a nutshell. People look at Sanchez's stats and say he's the worst QB in the league. They don't factor in supporting cast , development and the lack of a solid offensive gameplan.

They point to the two AFCCG;'s and say Rex gave him everything by having a G&P team that was effective. Unfortunately, the Jets could have taken it to the next level if Rex only allowed the O to work outside his limited box. When the D **** the bed in the playoffs esp against Pitt , they didn't have an O that was capable of making a comeback though Sanchez did an admirable job. Rex's vision of G&P and defense got this team so far but prevented it from climbing over the hill and setup it up for a precipitous fall when the G&P was no longer effective.

For what reason? Let's focus on building an OLine and receiving corps in this draft. It does nothing for us to settle for a QB this year when 2013 is a wash anyway. The New York Jets are about 2014 and beyond, so we'll think about a QB in the 2014 draft after we've built up the rest of the team.

They aren't the norm, though. Dalton's been fine, but we have yet to see if the Wilson/Kaepernick's of the world are one-hit wonders or not. Again, focus on building foundation this year and then worry about a QB in 2014.
