All of those losses aren't on him, lol. Remember Doug kept him on the bench after he was medically cleared to play. He didn't play like almost half of last season. Stuff like his TD to INT overall ratio is pretty good all things considering.

It seems like some people including Jags fans, and people that don't like him continue to undervalue him. But he's pretty valuable, other coaches and teams know it, and so does he. I do feel like maybe the Jags feel like they were being lowballed on offers for him and that might be why be a big reason why he hasn't been moved yet. Though, maybe one reason some teams were only willing to offer like a 5th is because they thought that the Jags would part with him more easily. Especially since they now have Trevor, signed CJ to guaranteed money, were talking to Alex Smith/other QB's. The Jags were making it seem like they were going to move off of him even as a backup for this team. So I could see where maybe other teams thought they could get him more cheaply.

I understand that he wasn't solely responsible for the 1-15 record.. It was a collective effort of trash.. I'm not saying that Gardner isn't valuable as a backup or even trade bait. What I'm saying is that he's not worthy of the starting position. So if he's bent out of shape because of that, he can either suck it up or improve greatly. Either way, it's no longer his offense anymore and he can only blame himself..
