Garrard at this point (being out of football, coming off injury, reputation for injury proneness) probably isn't any better than Quinn. To be fair, I'll say its a push, but Quinn is much younger. The biggest problem with him coming in now is that he doesn't know the playbook. If we had made a push for Moore I would feel a little better about it because he was in Daboll's offense last year. Skill-wise even if Garrard were equal with Quinn the learning curve would be too steep to be effective until halfway through the season. Same thing goes for Cassel. I'm assuming Cassel is marginally better than Quinn, so Garrard is fighting against that plus Cassel's familiarity with the playbook. He would have no chance to start here. At best he would beat out Quinn for the backup spot, but do we really want another retread 30+ year old QB in here again?
