David Garrard enters his third season as the unchallenged starter at quarterback for the Jaguars. It is a position that took the veteran six years to achieve, as he waited patiently behind two separate starters hoping for his shot at the brass ring.
When the team released Byron Leftwich prior to the start of the 2007 season, Garrard finally reached his goal of starting in the league. He responded positively to the challenge, posting one of the most efficient efforts of any starting quarterback in the league with 18 touchdowns and only three interceptions.
His quarterback rating for the 2007 season was among the best in the NFL, placing him in the top 10 for the season.
His most important achievement was helping the Jaguars earn a playoff spot and, subsequently, their first playoff win under Jack Del Rio.
It was a heady time for the player who had nearly lost his opportunity altogether at the end of the 2006 season. He almost caused a complete meltdown at the end of the season by filling in for the injured Byron Leftwich and taking the team out of playoff contention. By the end of the season, Garrard had been replaced by Quinn Gray.
He dedicated himself to putting that dismal performance behind him, and over the next few months as he prepared for the 2007 season, he worked on improving the flaws in his game.
He addressed a hitch in his throwing motion that caused his passes to miss the mark, and he focused on trying to make better decisions.
With the help of his quarterback coach Mike Shula, Garrard started to make significant strides during training camp leading up to the 2007 season, and he earned the confidence of his head coach as a result.
Garrard silenced the critics and proved that he could be a quality starting quarterback (in the right situation) with his 2007 performance.
When Garrard signed his contract extension prior to the start of the 2008 season, many wondered if the Jaguars had rushed into giving him a new deal.
Expectations were high heading into the 2008 season. The Jaguars were being touted as a Super Bowl contender in media circles, and the buzz was growing louder by the day.
Then, along came the injuries and off-field issues that sent the team into a tailspin.
It was not a good year for Garrard.
Entering the 2009 season, Garrard looks focused and ready to play.
Is QB David Garrard Good Enough for the Jaguars? | Bleacher Report

What do you say. Can he do the job for the Jacksonville Jaguars?

I would say he def is! He's lost 20 pounds, and should be faster than ever this year.

Garrard though, even last year his season wasn't that bad-- more td's than picks, and over 3600 yards passing... tenth in the NFL.

He can still do it, and I think he will have a decent season this year... 18 td's and 11 int's... 3300 yards.... there's my prediction
