Sperm Edwards Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 One rival NFL executive predicted to NFL Network's Kim Jones that David Garrard will be the Jets' Week 1 starter if he stays healthy. At age 35, Garrard is an obvious health risk after undergoing knee and back surgeries over the past two offseasons. The Dolphins released Garrard last September 4, and he spent 2012 out of football. While the Jets' quarterback job is wide open to competition, we believe Garrard is a longer shot than both Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith. The best preseason QB will start on Opening Day.

Sperm Edwards Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Have to say I agree. On the field there's no way Sanchez beats out a healthy Garrard, who is at least a legitimate NFL starter when he isn't hurt (though he's always hurt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Confused...its says they believe Garrard is the "longer" shot. Doesnt that mean he's less likely to win the job? Also, has anyone else noticed that "NFL Exec's" all seem to have a ton of opinions on what the Jets do with their roster or draft or FA, etc? Yet, you never hear these "NFL Exec's" chiming in about any other team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's garrards job UNLESS Geno plays lights out in preseason aka Russel Wilson last year OR Garrard gets hurt.. starting sanchez IMHO just starts the Circus theme again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed. I don't believe any of it to be true. When people don't put their names to trivial remarks like those that get floated in these hyperbolic, faux articles, it's because there's nobody behind the remarks but the hack writer trying to hit their daily quotas.

Every team that needed a particular player to align with the fiction, got that player. Jets got Geno. Packers got Lacy. Steelers got Jarvis. So on, so forth... all the high-profile organizations got aligned at least one major pick with this off-seasons storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless no one touches him, he's going to get hurt and you know it. I don't think it would require magic. He was winning the starting job in Miami less than a year ago with little difficulty & missed the season after having his knee scoped (which isn't even that serious of a procedure; it isn't clear why he didn't play after that). 2011 he missed the season due to a herniated disk (which is long since healed). He's been medically cleared for both of those (unrelated) injuries. His last year in the league - yes, in 2010 - he started 14 games and put up 2 TDs per game while completing 65% of his passes to the following receiving "weapons": Mike Thomas, Mike Sims-Walker, Jason Hill, Marcedes Lewis (who has been a big nothing without Garrard), and Zach Miller (not that Zach Miller; the other one). Prior to tearing a finger ligament in Freeney's facemask (ew, gross), he was 8-5 with that sorry group of receivers and a bottom-5 defense to go with it. The following year, even with MJD's career-best season, losing Garrard as their starter cost Jacksonville a full TD per game. We'll see soon enough, but David Garrard - all 6'1" and 244 lbs of him - after 2 years of no NFL starts is still a better QB than Sanchez until proven otherwise. Maybe it's desire, maybe it's hope, or maybe it's wanting to reverse some losing arguments about him, but some Jets fans seriously are blind (to put it mildly) to just how incredibly bad of a QB Sanchez is. He may never have been lights-out amazing (except when compared to our numbnuts signalcaller), but Garrard was a seriously underrated QB. Take your pick of any season since Sanchez was drafted and his receivers were probably better than the best crew Garrard was ever given to work with in 5 years in Jacksonville. That group of "winners" I mentioned above plus Matt Jones, Reggie Williams, Dennis Northcutt, Ernest Wilford, Troy Williamson, and a hobbling Torry Holt. That's who their front office brought in. Hell, Jeremy Kerley might be the best receiver he's ever gotten to work with. Care to wager who wins the QB competition? If Sanchez doesn't win the starting job then your sig for the month of September has to be "I am embarrassed to admit I was one of those delusional fans who believed, year after year, that Mark Sanchez was a good QB who was made to look bad by coaches and other players, and I repeatedly and pointlessly argued with great Jets fans like over it. I just wanted it so badly I wouldn't admit what everyone's eyes could plainly see. I beg forgiveness from all of you." If he wins the starting job...you name it.

NJ Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've also thought if DG's not dinged up there's no way Mr. 52 or the rook beats him out. This is his last tango and he's going to give it 300%. Good for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
