Quote:That isn't really an insult; Garrard was a good game manager.  That is really all Manuel was for FSU.

 

The Bills for some reason overdrafted Manuel.  Even FSU fans were confused by the pick.

 

Garrard had one really good year
, but that isn't really unique.  Many player have up and down seasons.  Very few consistently play really well.

Garrard did have only one really great year, but he had at least 4 solid years with possible 2010 also being pretty good. He was underrated by Jags fans the entire time. I have to wonder how people would have felt about him if Leftwich wasn't drafted (which every Garrard basher seems to have been a fan of).

 

The thing that really stuck out to me about Garrard was that on 3rd and long, I didn't feel like we didn't have a chance. With Leftwich, I never felt any chance. With Henne and Gabbert, definately had no chance of converting (barring a penalty). With Garrard tho, we had a decent chance.

 

This is what I like about Blake also, 3rd and 8 is no longer 'welp, we won't make this better go get some snacks while we punt again...' Any QB who gives you a shot on 3rd and long is at least decent, because the bad ones definitely give you no chance.
