No Way. GM Gene didn't want him then, sure doesn't want him now with all of the stink going on in Denver. Jags front office is just happy they avoided that circus.Back to McCown....the Jags are going to have to take the training wheels off this weekend. Jets will definitely put 20+ on the board this week. Jags' secondary already didn't match up well and now Cox is out.
David's last game vs the Titans:14/19 for 126 yards 0 TDs, 0 INTsChicks dig the long ball!!!Yeah, no way could Garrard have handed the ball off 41 times in the game while throwing for an unbelievable 175 yards.LIGHT IT UP BABY!!!at one point, I'm pretty sure Mike Thomas had a stat line like 7 catches for 29 yards in the game.
I think the lack of backlash is because Garrard admitted it was (at least partially) his fault. There has been some backlash for doing right after presenting him as starting QB at a luncheon, but the team cut him because of his consistently bad practices in the preseason. No one thinks the Jags were going to cut him all along and just strung him along- they wanted him for 1 more year while Gabbert rode the bench for at least half the season.As far as where he signs- it seems likely that by not signing for this week he is hoping to leverage another crap week by non interested parties like SEA or IND's QBs that makes them rethink their position. Waiting much longer doesn't make sense as he still needs to learn the new teams playbook.
The Jaguars admitted that they handled the situation poorly and they are right. But in their defense they where trying to give him every opportunity to keep his job. If he looked even decent in practice and preseason games he would have kept the gig.
Not a chance in hell.
Jacksonville is an afterthought in the NFL whether they do something good or not.
We feel ####ty with both, but feel free to think that we all view Garrard as someone who would make this team a contender.Garrard wouldn't have thrown four picks, but the Jags would still have been anemic on offense.Jaguars fans still feel good about this decision?Luke McCown: 6/19 for 59 yards (3.1 Y/A), 1 sack, 4 INTs, QB Rating of 1.8
why would I think that? the response from Jags fans in here has been almost universally positive that Garrard was cut loose. We were told that McCown was going to be the guy that threw the ball downfield and took some chances since Garrard apparently played way too safe.Seems early to throw Gabbert in there to me. And with a coaching change likely coming up, hope it's not another Alex Smith situation where his development gets ruined.I just thought it made more sense to keep Garrard around for this year and then prepare Gabbert to take over next year.Maybe Gabbert will surprise. Hope so for you guys.
Prior to the season, I saw a 4-6 win season coming. That was with Garrard. Maybe they don't reach that now with McCown. I'm fine with that- really what is the difference between 3-13 and 6-10?And yes, it is too early to throw Gabbert in there.
The Jags are in tough spot now. I don't think Gabbert is ready to play but the fans may see it otherwise.Jaguars fans still feel good about this decision?Luke McCown: 6/19 for 59 yards (3.1 Y/A), 1 sack, 4 INTs, QB Rating of 1.8
It is just a guess, but I don't think David is interested in being a back up. If he doesn't get the right offer I could see him sitting until he does, if ever.
