If this isn't one of the biggest shockers of camp, I don't know what is. Despite saying Byron Leftwich would be the starter all off-season long, the Jags are now reportedly looking to trade or release their former first round pick, and plan to name David Garrard their starter. From ESPN's Chris Mortensen:

Team and league sources said that former starter Byron Leftwich will likely be traded or released.
...
The Jaguars have been actively calling teams around the league to gauge interest in Leftwich, who is in the last year of his contract. He had been designated as the starter in the offseason by Del Rio. Team sources said Garrard's continued development in training camp and preseason convinced Del Rio that Garrard was the right quarterback for the team.
The Jaguars are also trying to acquire a veteran quarterback to serve as a backup and may turn to former Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell.

I've never been able to figure out why DelRio's so down on Leftwich, but at least he's finally got his guy starting. Leftwich will catch on somewhere. Oakland might be a good fit, if they didn't already have Culpepper. So do any Jags fans out there actually like the move? Do you believe Garrard actually gives your team a better chance to win?

I think DelRio's so down on Leftwich because he's always hurt, when he's playing he's merely a good quarterback and he's very expensive. David Garrard is younger, bigger and more resistant to injury. Leftwich never could keep himself healthy and that makes his salary a heavy load. As for Leftwitch going to the Jokeland Raiders I agree it would be a good fit. Al Davis still believes in misfit has beens instead of younger, franchise players hence his refusal to sign his first round draft pick who i'm sure you know his name!

I personally dont think this was a smart move on delrio's part, I think leftwich is better than garrard, they will be hurting come mid season when garrard starts to show he cant keep it up..

Ditto...the man has a guh...not mobile...but hey, they new that when they took him out of Marshall in the draft.

Agreed. I would pick him up if I could afford him.

Who knows somewhere down the road Matt Jones might get to play QB. Glad to see Byron getting some gone.
