All hope is lost: David Garrard named Jaguars starter, Byron Leftwich to be traded or released

For the last 5 months all we have been hearing from Jack Del Rio is "Byron is our guy" well so much for that. David Garrard has been named the Jaguars starting quarterback. Lots of people think that Garrard was one of the best backups in the league and that he will make a good starter because he beat the Colts. Well none of those people have ever seen Garrard play. In the Colts game, Garrard completed only 8 passes for 78 yards and an interception. Now wonder why the Jags need to get 350 yards rushing a game to win. Garrard had 10 touchdown passes in 10 starts. But he had 9 interceptions and 4 fumbles. That won't win you games in the NFL. Now for Leftwich, he lost 30 pounds this offseason and one quarterback hungry team is going to get a bargin. He is in the last year of his rookie contract. The Falcons and Ravens should be looking for Leftwich as Joey Harrington isn't the answer in Atlanta. Plus Steve McNair is getting older and Byron grew up around Baltimore.
