Brunell was the most sacked QB for 2 years in a row.


He made the Pro Bowl and led us to the playoffs both years. With a Pro Bowl MVP (back when they played hard)

I think you may be right to a degree, we did win a lot more games with him here though. He had some decent years with us, but we were pretty average outside of 2007. Garrard was usually pretty serviceable though. 

 

 

Garrard was only serviceable because he was so good at escaping pressure situations with his feet. As a passer, he had a nice short-to-mid game, but when throwing downfield typically only worked the sidelines aside from the occasional downfield strike when someone was streaking wide open. When it comes to downfield passing, Bortles with a healthy arm is far and away better.

Completion percentage can be an overrated stat. David took high percentage shots limiting this throws to the outside or to working his short game along with the occasional downfield shot to receivers streaking wide open.

Garrard was the textbook definition of game manager. Whenever the game was on the line the best he could do was run the ball, he wasn't a passer that could do it in crunch time.

 

It's crazy to me that with what the Jaguars fans have endured for 20 years they're in such a rush to get rid of the only guy in the history of the team that could consistently throw for 20+ TDs in a season.

Let the Jaguars today show 1010xl tell it David Garrard tell it he was Joe Montana and his prime. Lol

It's simple really. Higher completion percentage and less than 10 total turnovers (including fumbles). Then we have Garrard 2.0 with better talent. It would be like Trenton Dilfer in 2000.
