The story of Garrard is that he could've been great. The offensive line let him down for years and the WR's were absolutely at the bottom of the NFL for years It's too bad that he will really never have that true opportunity. The team will be good when he is gone. I hope my new favorite player, Blaine Gabbert, does aweseom! :) it’s weird right?

But look at Garrard's 48 yard throw to Jason Hill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyNEOUUYovE) - that's a "bomb", but he has enough protection to throw with good mechanics and not force it. Or check out this pass to Mike Thomas for 26 yards, which qualifies as a "deep ball" (http://www.nfl.com/videos/jacksonville-jaguars/09000d5d81d35618/QB-Garrard-to-WR-Thomas-26-yd-pass) - again, good protection, good mechanics, and that looks completely effortless. The guy can win games and if our offensive line stays healthy and our playmakers are there for him, I expect him to hover around the top 10 this year.

My eyes have told me over the years that Garrard doesn't throw the deep ball often and that when he does it's not that great. When numbers completely disagree with what you've seen the first reaction is to try to rationalize the numbers so that both what you're seeing and the numbers make sense. I'm not sure I've found the rationale yet. It’s such a weird conundrum. My eyes have told me over the years that Garrard doesn’t throw the deep ball often and that when he does it’s not that great.
