David Garrard

I’m retelling this story because I was right, and because I think it’s intriguing given that David Garrard was flat CUT by the Jacksonville Jaguars with days left until their opener. It was November 2009.  My wife was in a foreign country with a mission group from our church, and she told me I should take the kids to Disney World.  We’re Disney people, so that’s not a big deal, and it was a GREAT trip.  I was driving back on a Sunday, and there wasn’t much on the radio, but, in north...Read Full Story

It seems that right now,  free agent quarterback David Garrard isn’t in a hurry to get back on the football field. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald,  the reason the Dolphins weren’t able to sign Garrard was because he just doesn’t want to play football right now. Garrard is content with sitting out the season so he can relax and spend some quality time with his family and then hit the free agent market in March. If Garrard is financially secure right now, I don’t blame...Read Full Story

During Thursday night’s camp practice, Jaguars quarterback David Garrard suffered a back injury and was taken off the field. Afterword, coach Jack Del Rio told Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union, “David’s back got a little tight, so we’re just icing him down. He’ll get treatment and all that. But he should be fine, so nothing major there. He came to me after the first team period, then to Mike Ryan, and said it was getting tight. It’s not the time to push through that kind of thing...Read Full Story

Jacksonville is not a “David Garrard friendly” place right now.  His owner, coach and teammates have all called him out and demanded that he get better. I’ve chronicled this in this space before–that when I took my children to Disney World (yes, by myself, and no I didn’t lose one, and yes it was fun.  I’m just more manly than you, so get over it) the Jacksonville broadcasters were killing Garrard ON THE GAME BROADCAST.  No one in Jville seems to like him.  Sucks to be David–and I actually...Read Full Story

Why is this instrumental The Jets play the Jaguars Week 2. New starter Luke McCown should establish for a much easier game to win. It is difficult to imagine Jacksonville would conceive rookie Blaine Gabbert mount his first game start against the Jets’ attacking defense and so McCown is likely the guy.Read Full Story

David Garrard agreed to a seven year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The contract is said to be worth $60 million. “I pretty much had to say, ‘Let’s go ahead and wrap it up. I’m done,”‘ he said. “It’s too much stress on me and my family. My wife was done five weeks ago. She’s already been on board with everything. We just kept working on it and I finally just said, ‘You know what, I’d rather be happy now, have the city happy now, have the team, the organization, the owner...Read Full Story

I want to win today. I want Coach Tomlin to get a playoff win and build momentum towards next year. I think we are way too injured as a team to entertain thoughts of getting out of the Divisional round of the playoffs. I think if we can somehow get pressure on Garrard today, we can win the game. I think if he has time to sit back and find his targets, we won't. The other major factor will be Najeh Davenport. Will we get 120 inspired yards, or will he fall down the moment he is touched? We...Read Full Story

Quarterback David Garrard has dealt with lower back pain before. It caused him to miss some practice time last season and even posed problems during workouts this summer. His latest bout has him sidelined indefinitely. Garrard’s sore back kept him out of Jacksonville’s scrimmage Saturday, allowing more repetitions for first-round draft pick Blaine Gabbert(notes) and third-stringer Luke McCown(notes). But it also caused some concern as the Jaguars approach their first preseason game. “I...Read Full Story
