Gerrard released
David Garrard - QB - Dolphins
Dolphins released QB David Garrard. With experienced backup signal-callers such as Seneca Wallace and Brian Hoyer freely available, the Dolphins were unable to land even a late-round pick for Garrard or Matt Moore. Even though Garrard had emerged as the front-runner early in training camp, it made little sense to keep him on the roster at $2.25 million once Ryan Tannehill had been announced as the starter. Expected to be back to full health in a week or two, Garrard shouldn't be out of work for very long. Yea yea he's always hurt, but he's much better than Cassel, I'm game. Anyone else? |

I'll leave the board for a month if we beat a Peyton Manning-led Broncos team.
If we're swept, you have to sport a signature of my choice for a month.

Yeah, many feel KC is the team to beat, but I think I'll side with the massive football minds of Clay/Knowmo I'd take Eggo anyday before I'd pick the Broncos. Better, younger QB with a better defense.

Garrard has also won a playoff game.
U mad, Cassel?

It's going to be an interesting season. Let's revisit this at the halfway mark.

4 years ago.
What does that have to do with whether or not he can play football today?

It has to do with not feeding a gremlin after midnight which lots of people here apparently don't know about.

I think all 3 teams are close and have fairly equal shots at the division. Oakland screams bottom feeder. Should be fun.

Back injury, first major injury of career, IIRC.
Montana was out a shit ton of time before the Chiefs picked him up. And before people start, comparing the timeline for QBs recuperating is NOT THE SAME as comparing their skill set. Manning or Favre or Montana being HoF talents doesn't mean they bounce back from injuries better with age.

Yeah there are a bunch of sub-plot stories for us to watch here in the West. Very interesting if you know what's going on.

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?

I'm out on Garrard. He's injuried, doesn't know the playbook, and he's 34. What's the upside? I know, it's ABC (Anybody But Cassel) here, but I just don't see any reason to consider bringing him in.

He's old, has back problems, he has attitude problems, and he was never very good anyway.
