We drafted a QB. That was a shocker!

All the Garrard haters will be happy

I personally don't hate him. He's a great QB, hes just inconsistent as hell. Now he has someone there to challenge him so we'll see how this goes. I was definitely caught off guard by this.

I had a friend just text me that on Dallas sports radio they are callin him a white  Garrard, poor under defensive pressure and in red zone sitiuations.

I wonder if he throws as many interceptions LMAO but he's young and can be developed. Garrad is old and set in his ways.

This is surely a change. I hope it pays off! Go Jags!

That's funny. I was just reading the player analysis that SI has next to each pick, and you could just change Gabbert's name to David Garrard and it would be just as accurate.

Same number of letters in the last name as well!

It will be very interesting to see how Gabbert, and Ponder will do in their careers. Will there be any bashlash from FSU/Jag fan for not taking Ponder? Then again Nole fan is probably smart enough to distinguish the NFL from college unlike a certain other university in the state who's fans STILL talks about their golden boy who should have been here last year. I'm TOTALLY excited about the pick! Go Jags!!!

[BridgeTroll]

I'm glad they got him... not so happy they gave up a second to do it...

[tufsu1]

the smart Noles fan knows that Ponder was a reach at 10....in fact, he was a reach at 12 where the Vikings took him...or for that matter at 16 where the Jags were supposed to pick...now had they known that Andy Dalton would still be around, maybe they could have traded down.

The problem now is they have to wait for Round 3 to address defense....or deal with it through free agency

Not really.

People have described Gabbert as being "cerebral". Find one time anything similar has been said about Garrard.

Garrard haters? Or are they actually just fans that are upset the team has been in position to make the playoffs in four of the last five years. And in three of those years, the team led by Garrard collapsed.

[BridgeTroll]

I dont see Garrard going anywhere.  He will likely start most of the season unless he gets hurt.  Gabbert will be allowed to learn and mature a year.  Barring an injury or complete collapse of Garrard... he will be our starter this year.

[exnewsman]

Gabbert has long-term possibilities, but certainly doesn't address any immediate needs the Jags have - primarily the defensive backfield. You had Prince Amukamara sitting out there - rated as a great CB prospect that could have provided an immediate impact to the team.

I saw Gabbert being run through the paces by Steve Marriucci and John Gruden and I think he'll be a solid player. But not necessarily a franchise QB. Could we not have picked up a QB of equal value later in the draft or next year rather than not address the defense and give up a 2nd round pick.
