Quote:Garrard may not have been the greatest, but his rookie year was the only time he posted more INTs than TDs. Without question he was better than Henne. Though neither is special.

 

Henne is still in the league.  Garrard is hoping for a shot to land on a roster after being out of the league for a while.  He got an opportunity to latch on to the Jets roster toward the end of last season, but never saw the field. 

 

Garrard was not without question better than Henne.  He was just in, without question, a much better situation than Chad was with MJD in his prime, a defense that was effective, and enough receiving talent to be effective. 

 

Garrard, like Henne, is not a guy who is going to carry the team when things aren't working. 

 

Garrard didn't put up overly impressive statistics beyond a few key bits during the 2007 season that got him a mega contract.  Beyond that anomaly, Garrard has been pedestrian on his best days. 

 

Not playing up Henne, but to say Garrard was better without question despite the fact that their situations are different is pointless.  Neither QB is going to set the world on fire.  Both are better suited to hold a clipboard.  Both have been starters for this team.  That tells you how bad the talent at QB has been here.  Fortunately, that streak should be coming to an end at some point this year.  Until then, Henne will be a serviceable starter for the team.  Nothing impressive.  But serviceable.
