Quote:I always had a soft spot for Garrard. He's not as bad as some say

Nice guy.  Great athlete.  Had all the tools except the one that mattered most.  It was always the tool between his ears that undid any good he may have enjoyed.  Whether it was self sacking, or hesitating, or consistently going to the check down because he was afraid to push the ball down the field, it was Garrard's lack of ability to quickly evaluate the situation at the line and make the plays.  Every time he'd pat the ball, he was doubting his ability to hit his receiver.  It was painful to watch at times.  He was so afraid to make mistakes that he rarely took any risks. 

 

Yahoos like TMD tried to portray him as being elite because of a couple of stats, but they completely ignored the fact that in 2007, he had such a great year statistically because he rarely took a risk with the ball.  If Henne or any other QB on this roster did the same thing, the bar stool diva would be demanding the team trade him.
