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? |
Do it.
|
Why the hell not give a lot round pick for Matt Moore?
|
If we sign another QB.....it either means that Quinn's injury is worse than thought or Stanzi isn't keeping his roster spot.

I'm so sick of shitty qb's......

His last injury happened at home with no exterior cause i.e. slip and fall, etc. His body is giving out. He's toast.

dont do it....

Not Cassel does not = Better than Cassel. |
Literally no reason not to bring him in immediately.
We won't, because we have a doof in power. |
Quote:
We are stuck with what we have this year. Cassel is light years better than anyone else on the roster. We just have to "deal with it" until next year. |

He's injured. JFC people need to think... |
@adamteicher
Pioli says Chiefs are set with roster. No interest in Garrard |
Quote:
It'd be Garrard vs Quinn.....and Garrard was out of football last year, barely got a weeks worth of TC in this year, his body is falling apart AND would have to learn the offense. On top of all that....he's not even that good. Rather just keep Quinn. |

Too bad, watching him on Hard Knocks I got to liking him as a person, seems level headed and a decent guy. I also got to liking Matt Moore and his constant shit-eating grin. True jock; good leader. |
It's a sad state of our fanbase and QB situation when the release of a busted up old has been like Garrard gives one pause to think that he should come here.

I just enjoy the fact that people are clamoring for 3rd or 4th string guys off teams with shaky QB situations to begin with. I can't wait until we finally make the leap where Stanzi goes from the great hope that isn't getting a fair shake from Pioli, to the hated guy who Pioli refuses to cut because he was hand picked to be the backup QB.

Hey boys and girls! Guess what time it is?
That's right! It's time for another episode of Compare Matt Cassel To A Completely Average Quarterback And Watch Him Look Like Shit In Comparison! Come on down, David Garrard! Last 58 games: 63 percent completion percentage, 215 yards per game, 7.15 yards per attempt, 71 TD, 41 INT How does Catt Massel stack up? Last 55 games: 59 percent completion percentage, 208 yards per game, 6.62 yards per attempt, 74 TD, 43 INT. Question: which one of these quarterbacks got a big honkin' contract and then told his fanbase to shut the **** up? Not included: the 1,000 yards rushing and 11 TD Garrard added with his legs. |
:facepalm: Ridiculous. Soooo sick of this shit.

It certainly wasn't David Garrard's on-field performance that got him cut Tuesday from the Miami Dolphins. The reason Miami let go of its best quarterback in spring practices and training camp was his lack of durability. It's that simple. The Dolphins couldn't trust the 34-year-old quarterback to stay healthy. He missed all of 2011 with a back injury and tweaked his knee while playing with his children at home. That knee tweak required surgery. If Garrard needed surgery playing while taking it easy at home, imagine him taking hits from 300-pound defensive linemen? That had to weigh into Miami's thinking. As a result, the Dolphins chose Matt Moore as the backup to rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Moore was not the better fit for Miami's offense. But Moore is younger and without injury concerns. Health matters in the NFL, and in this case, more than performance. If health and age didn't catch up to Garrard, he probably would be Miami's starting quarterback Sunday against the Houston Texans. But age catches up to everyone in the NFL. Garrard was the latest victim. Cutting Garrard also means Miami's probably will stop fielding offers for Moore. The veteran quarterback, who went 6-3 in his final nine starts last season, had some trade value. Perhaps the Dolphins could've gotten a wide receiver or a future draft pick for Moore. But Tannehill, Moore and a developing Pat Devlin aren't a bad trio of quarterbacks to take into the season. This is one of the few areas of depth on Miami's 2012 roster. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post...-david-garrard |

don't do it, didn't they cut him partly because he's injured and can't get healthy?

You do have to admit it's funny that there's a QB on the market who is statistically superior to our current starter, who pwned Cassel while playing with dogshit talent in Jacksonville, and we will make 0 effort to sign him. LMAO
Sign Garrard, make Quinn the 3rd QB. What do you have to lose? |
I actually think Garrard at his peak might have been better than Cassel. I don't know that GoChiefs argument helps that at all though... they look pretty similar actually when you look at it. Cassel at his peak might have actually been better.
Garrard's biggest claim to fame is he went toe to toe with the undefeated Patriots for one half in a playoff game. Otherwise there's really not much to write home about. And really the biggest thing is how does he look now? I didn't watch any of his play in preseason. The guy hasn't played in two years, all those stats mean squat if the guy is a banged up shell of his old self. |

But let's not let that little tidbit get in the way. |

Maybe we should sign Daunte Culpepper? He has better stats than Matt Cassel too. Damon Huard is probably available.
|
Are we really this desperate?
|
Scotty won't sign any vet players until after the first game. That way he can save his Precious's money and isn't required to pay a full year's contract.

Quote:
Just like Manning. I bet he's still better than Brady Quinn. |
Hell yes!!!
His 'injury requiring surgery' had him out all of 2-4 weeks, Flowers has already been out longer. He participated in passing drills yesterday, but they kept him out of 7-7 live play as it was his first day back. He was beating the **** out of Tannehill and Moore in TC before the injury. Tannehill and Moore duked it out impressively in the Miami's eyes, so they think they have a 1 and a 1a, as opposed to a 1 and a 2, in them. |
Manning's a shell too. Arm is Huardesque.

And I'm the 1% of people who wasn't that excited about signing Manning. Although I think he can still be successful... he's not the same guy. |
:LOL: Donks...sweep. You hope Knowmo Jr.
This might be the most over hyped team going into a season of all time. Why would anyone be that scared of Denver LMAO |

Garrard has also won a playoff game.

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. |

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.

Pass. No one can seem to spell OR pronounce his name.

We have a legitimate playoff run season here, should we not him in for evaluation?
put the hippie on the practice squad |

So he doubled Cassel's passing total in his playoff appearance? LMAO Game, set, match. |
