Garrard's 08 struggles were due to an injury plagued offensive line and "Bust" filled receiving corps. He finished with career highs in attempts, completions, throwing and rushing yards, but jumped from a near flawless 3 INT'S in 07, to 13 in 08. Despite rumors, the Jags stayed away from drafting a quarterback and focused on re-building their offensive line through the draft. Rookies Eugene Monroe and Eben Britton, along with the acquisition of Tra Thomas, should supply the first-aid needed to the offensive line, and should provide Garrard with better protection. He has been said to have been training rigorously in the off-season, and has reportedly shown up to camp in peak condition. The addition of Torry Holt should give him a dependable veteran option. Mike Walker should step up and supply some spark. At 6'1', 245 lbs, Garrard has the size, power, and athleticism to get some scores with his feet. I look for the Jags to re-establish themselves as a power running team. His passing attempts and yardage could drop, but with a revamped o-line, and improved receiving options his efficiency and TD/INT ratio should improve. As a QB1 he's risky. I like him as a decent QB 2.
