Wow! Jags Cut David Garrard Five Days Before Opener!

Brandon Jackson goes on IR, Blaine Gabbert gets a starting job. My fantasy football world is balanced.

I heard a news flash on the radio of that but didn’t quite believe it! I was like, “what in the world??? I must have heard that wrong!”

Garrard played the best. Gabbert did nothing special to warrant this move. The only other option McCown. I wonder if Mayhew can make a trade and sa ve MJD from this horrid crisis in Jaxsonville.

Hard to believe they are starting McCown over Gabbert. I have to believe this move was likely prompted by bad blood between Gerrard and Gabbert. Just a guess on my part, but I’m putting my money on Gerrard being a class A A-hole towards Gabbert, or as my buddy Chuck would say, “maybe he punched a baby in front of the owner”.

This is a head-scratcher regardless

“Maybe THEY’RE going to get Brett!” she says, with shining eyes full of hope.

Yeah, I live in that kind of a house.

The fan base has been very split over him. Go on their SB site and read some of the comments. Most are more upset at the timing than actually cutting him.

They are in rebuilding mode.

WTF, could you imagine how hard we’d be raging if the Lions did that to Stafford 5 days before the season?….lol

Jaguars pulled this same move a few years ago when they released Leftwich in 2007 right before the season in favor of Garrard. I do not think the jaguars will be part of the andrew luck sweepstakes. I think it will be more along the lines of “Gabbert! Gabbert! He’s our man! If he can’t do it then…well…Del Rio is fired.”

I wouldnt be suprised to see him go to the colts just to play the jags twice this year. also they have the biggest need with manning hurt

I saw him play during week 1 of the college season, and he was all over the place. Sure, he was 17 for 26, 171 yards, and 2 TDs, and his stats looked good by the end of the game, but he was only playing against San Diego State. His incomplete passes were terrible, and of the passes he did complete, some of them were also off target. What if he had been throwing against the Packers or the Jets?? Granted, it was his first game of the season, but he probably would have been the #1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft had he declared eligible (meaning he was very solid in the past). I think it was a mistake on his part to play another year at Stanford, and I do not see him repeating last year’s performance. My point is that I don’t mind Jacksonville doing stupid stuff like this, especially if they did it for a better chance to land Andrew Luck in 2012. Luck is good, but he is no Sam Bradford or Matt Stafford in my opinion.

Too bad, Del Rio coaches hard hitting football which appears to be frowned upon these days.

He’ll find a job elsewhere though. It makes me question the Jags chances this year though.

I was in Florida when they had the draft. Guns were blazing when they drafted Gabbert. Seriously!! Garrard hasn’t accomplished anything. With arguably the best running back in the league and a middle of the pack defense, he still couldn’t put them over the hump to win. I think them releasing Garrard will sell more tickets. Jags fans wanna see Gabbert play.

Is Millen doing some consulting again? I thought they banned that moron from the league? LOL. Thank the lord for Saint Mayhew.

have to be upset about this. Josh McCown, there’s no way.

Gerrard himself said “It’s my own fault”

Sounds to me like he was not playing up to par. NFL Network pointed out many plays last year and this where he overthrew open receivers.
