I have heard good things about Garrard. I am not sure is he is a guy that I would select very early in the 2006 fantasy draft.
In general, I think that QBs are a dime a dozen. There are the top notch guys (e.g. Peyton Manning and Daunte Culpepper) and then a gaggle of guys who are all have about the same fantasy value. Considering you can usually get a quarterback such as Jake Delhomme or Jake Plummer in the middle rounds, Garrard would be a late round backup. That said, he would be a very good back up who may blossom and become a strong fantasy quarterback.
I am hesitant to put too much faith behind unproven players. As a Bills fan, I always look to the ill fated acquistion of Rob Johnson. He too was young and full of promise. The Bills gave up a lot to make Johnson their guy and they were very disappointed.
Keep in mind that my opinions are also shaped by the fact that I am in a league in which each team has one keeper. If you are in a deep keeper league where you can prospect a bit, Garrard could be worth picking up.

I too like Garrard. He looked good in the few opportunities he got last year.
I actually have Garrard on my roster in the GBRFL. I am really hoping the Jags will move him on draft day. There are many teams in need a QB. I think after the first few QBs go off the board, there is a good chance it will happen.
If he not moved, he will be dropped.

Here is the latest about Garrard from "The REAL Feed":
Garrard re-signs with Jags for three more years
ESPN: NFL (21.04.2005 17:31)
QB skips free agency, gets $2M bonus by Len Pasquarelli |
|
Why is Pasquarelli giving these guys bonuses now? 
Anyway, Jax could still trade Garrard, although Garrard seems content (if not thrilled) with the prospect of being a backup.

So if I put my Oliver Stone hat on  there are a couple teams that immediately come to mind as needing QB....AZ & GB. Neither is in dire straights (great band BTW), but Kurt Warner needs to go back to baggin' groceries, and Favre is done after this year  .
I just think the timing of this signing indicates the Jags might be moving Garrard to move up in the draft!
Any thoughts? |

Possible, but doubtful. If they do that, I think the Jags reputation would go down the toilet. The guy would of been a free agent next year. THe common practice is for teams to allow the player to ink a deal in seeking a trade, OR to allow him to negotiate with the new team when they trade him.
All the talk is they just wanted to sure him up for three years. THey gave him a $2 million dollar signing bonus. If they were gonna move him, they would not have made the bonus for that much. However, by giving him that much of a signing bonus they are actually enhancing the reputation in my opinion. They are truly doing the right thing for Gerrard. And he seems content in Jacksonville.
