The local idiots labeled him as "captain check down" but Garrard was a decent QB.  He never had a #1 receiver and maybe not even a #2.  In 2007, if it weren't for Dennis Northcutt dropping 2 key balls in the endzone it may have been a superbowl team. 

 

How good do you think the current team could be with a QB of Garrard's stature?  Average is much much better than we have now.

Division winners

He wouldn`t have MJD so at best about the same as he did when he was here.

---

Probably 4 more wins. Garrard couldn't throw deep. He had to crow hop.

WHY??????????

Division winner, win wild card, maybe win divisional round, lose AFC Championship.  He was a good QB, but his receivers always sucked.  The only thing he had going was MJD and Fred Taylor.

 

Edit: 2007 Garrard like MojoKing said

2007 Garrard? Wild Card run for sure, AFC Champions maybe...


He didn't have the D we had or the WR's, but he had a good running game. However he also only threw like 5ints?

2 in the regular season. I think 2 in the playoffs.  One was a 4th down play where he had to throw it.

Garrard was similiar to Alex Smith. Athletic tough qb with an average arm.

---

He was a game manager, which is hard to do when you don`t have a running game.

Garrard had how many years to develop before being thrust into a starting role again?

 

Not taking up for Blake, but the days of developing a QB are in the past.

 

Blake could have used a couple years on the bench to develop and learn.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

When you get drafted into the top 5 that tells you the team drafting you probably has a QB problem.  Those days have long since gone.  If your drafted high expect to play much sooner than later

How's that working out for the top 2 picks from this year's draft?

 

For every one that pans out, at least one flames out.

The truth is the draft is a crapshoot.  I don't believe you can make an arguement for playing or sitting right away.  Each case is different but you either have it or you don't.

Without Fred Taylor and MJD maybe 3-4 wins. We had a better coach in 2007 as well.

Nothing. Garrard sucked!

Alex Smith is a winner. There are no similarities.
