No respect I tell ya.

Dude was never an elite QB and in today's NFL he'd barely be a starter. But during his tenure here he fought thru Crohn's, was relatively healthy, a solid leader, and had complete shite to work with at WR for the majority of his time as a starter.
And he gave us one of our few playoff runs and was a couple dropped passes from probably taking us to a SB.

If anything, David Garrard was overrated because people here treated him like he was some above a starter when reality had said otherwise during his tenure as the QB. 

For instance, David Garrard got Bench in 2006 for Quinn Gray based on underperform as the starter for Byron Leftwich.  His receivers was suspect so was Blake but we don't get him no slack for the same situation. However, David Garrard had the best running back tandem doing the history of this franchise, a very good offensive , good tight end in Marcedes Lewis who was ranked in the top 10 at that time, great defense good head coach and good offensive coordinators. Despite all the things that was at David Garrard disposal he still underachieved for the QB of our franchise. What we need to stop doing is making excuses for him and act like the cover was bear during his tenure as a our quarterback.
