Seriously? What is it with Del Rio? He did this with Leftwich a couple of years ago, but this is even closer to the first game. So weak.
I'd be down with that. Garrard seems a lot more capable than Alex, and at the least a better backup QB than Kaep and Tolzien.
Glazer is pretty on point with this stuff. Would this bump up MJD and downgrade Mike Thomas and Mercedes Lewis?
Garrard may be better than Henne but it's highly unlikely that he could learn enough of Miami's playbook to be more productive.
I would think it bumps all of them down. MJD already faced some tough up front presence but it will be even worse with no real threat to stretch the field..It's not like MJD can carry the ball a ton more than he already does - they were already a run first team. IMO MJD enjoyed a pretty good situation for a top fantasy RB - a serviceable QB who could make plays at times and at least keep the defense honest. Now he will have defenses solely stopping him until their QBs prove they can hurt them if this news is really true.I guess he may get a lot more check downs now..
That might be what is happening but i'd be scared if someone came in a swooped up on a better offer. Garrard isn't elite but he's not a bad QB by any means. SF should be on the phone for sure.
Yes. Garrard is as mobile as Jackson, so he might not fare any worse scrambling behind the line. And certainly has a couple of decent years left.
Time to make another trade Aaron.
Only Del Rio won't find a new head coaching gig in 2012.
OK, how about an upgrade over Matt Moore at QB2 for a month while he learns the playbook. Miami needs someone to actually push Henne.
Yeah, hard to think of another surprise QB cut so close to game 1. Any others in recent memory?
or tankTime to make another trade Aaron.
If it's gonna be Gabbert real soon I would think MJD could catch a lot of short passes. How can the front office do this so close to the season? Maybe he will resign for less money but a team like Seattle is gonna scoop him up and see what they can get out of him in a month after he learns the playbook. That team has skill position guys on par or better than Jax. I never liked Mike Thomas and Lewis would be valuable in the short game I suppose. Rookie QB sooner or later, not good. I guess teams want to find out fast what they have.
MJD could still run for a 100 and score a TD with 11 in the box
I doubt Seattle or San Francisco would put in a claim. $8m is a lot of money for a mediocre QB and they would be on the hook for all of it. I think what will probably happen is he'll resign with Jax on Sat. for a lot less money.
Won't lose as many goalline touches that Garrard vultures with a rushing TD (5 last year)Though, they have to get near the goalline first.
Scoring format?
healthy QBs = 1000 points
A lot of the fans were clamoring for change. Be careful what you wish for.
Perhaps you've got him confused with his brother Josh. Luke has only started 7 games in his career, none since 2007*.*edit: 2007, not 2004.
No doubt about it. Should have/could have traded him much earlier if they were reducing payroll.
I though veterans were free agents when released.
