Compare Chad Henne's production with Miami in 2009-2010 to Garrard's production in Jacksonville in 2009-2010. Garrard is superior in every category. 

 

I'm using 09' and 10' as examples because in both those years the Dolphins (14-18) and Jaguars (15-17) had pretty similar rosters in terms of talent. Oh, and don't bother saying "Jacksonville had MJD." Reason being is that Miami had the 4th ranked running game in 09' compared to Jacksonville at 10th.  Defensively Miami and Jacksonville finished at 22nd and 23rd respectively. Jacksonville was 7th in sacks allowed this year whereas Miami was tied for 15th with several other teams. 

 

2010 was a different story. Jacksonville had the 3rd rank running offense in the league, but also had the 28th ranked defense. Miami on the other hand had the 6th ranked defense and the 21st ranked running offense. Jacksonville and Miami were tied at 11th in sacks allowed this year. 

 

Despite having relatively even teams outside of the passing game, Garrard still outclassed Henne in QBR, Yards, TD's, INT's, and Completion % both years. 

 

And again, Henne's never cracked a 80 QBR once in a season whereas Garrard cracked it every year he started here and cracked 90 one year and 100 another year. Garrard was a middle tier QB every year he started, and even got into that "good" tier twice, Henne's not nearly close to that tier. What starter in the NFL would you NOT take over Henne?

 

This is withholding Garrard's running, something he's never been given much credit for. 

 

It's just too bad that we're withholding credit for Garrard's 07' season because of outside factors and assuming Henne would do just as well in his scenario, simply because it's convenient to assume such things. 

 

And I like Henne, but Garrard is simply better all the way around.
