2010 Player Spotlight Series

One of Footballguys best assets is our message board community. The Shark Pool is, in our view, the best place on the internet to discuss, debate and analyze all things fantasy football. In what's become an annual tradition, the Player Spotlight series is a key part of the preseason efforts. As many of you know, we consider the Player Spotlight threads the permanent record for analyzing the fantasy prospects of the player in question. This year, we plan to publish more than 140 offensive spotlights covering the vast majority of expected skill position starters.

Each week we will post a list of players to be discussed. Those threads will remain open for the entire preseason, and should be a central point to discussion expectations for the player in question. Importantly, analysis done in the first week of posting will be part of the permanent record in two ways. 1) At the end of the week, we will tally the projections into a consensus. 2) We will select a number of pull quotes from forum contributors who make a compelling statement or observation. Both the projections and pull quotes will be part of a published article on the main website.

Thread Topic: David Garrard, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Player Page Link: David Garrard Player Page

Each article will include:

[*]Detailed viewpoint from a Footballguys staff member

[*]Highlighted member commentary from the message board threads

[*]FBG Projections

[*]Consensus Member Projections

The Rules

In order for this thread to provide maximum value, we ask that you follow a few simple guidelines:

[*]Focus commentary on the player (or players) in question, and your expectations for said player (or players)

[*]Back up your expectations in whatever manner you deem appropriate; avoid posts that simply say "I hate him" or "He's the best"

[*]Avoid redundancies or :popcorn: ... this should be about incremental analysis or debate

While not a requirement, we strongly encourage you to provide your own projections for the player (players):

Projections should include:

[*]For QBs: Attempts, Completions, Passing Yards, Passing TDs, Ints, Rush Attempts, Rush Yards, Rush TDs

[*]For RBs: Rushes, Rushing Yards, Rush TDs, Receptions, Receiving Yards, Receiving TDs

[*]For WRs & TEs: Receptions, Receiving Yards, Receiving TDs

Now let's get on with the conversation! We look forward to your contributions and let me offer a personal thanks in anticipation of the great debate and analysis.

 
I think we all know what we get with Garrard and that's a solid QB who will put up OK numbers for most likely 16 games. The problem I have with Garrard is if you win a fantasy championship with him, it will most likely not be because of him but despite him. He's not the guy who's going to lead you to the promise land. He's a solid backup or spot starter but when you draft Garrard in your fantasy draft or insert him as your starter, you're not going to scare too many owners away.

As the NFL turns to more and more passing, the lure of drafting a top flight QB grows stronger. If you determine to wait on a QB, at least consider David Garrard in 2010. He was the FBG sleeper pick a year ago and although he performed adequately, it seemed that there was a constant uproar at how poorly he played. Looking ahead to this year, Garrard has a current ADP of QB#23 and 172 overall. That is pretty low considering that he has finished as QB16, QB11, and QB14 in the three most recent seasons.

He also has a rather young receiving corps that should improve this season. Mike Sims-Walker is in his third season and showed a lot of improvement a year ago. Mike Thomas enters his second season and he performed well as a rookie with 48 catches in 14 games, including 13 in the last two games of the year. The Jags also have a very good receiver out of the backfield and a promising young TE.

I also think that the team will likely lose more in 2010 and this could lead to additional passing attempts.
