Orton's Arm Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Weird thing is the Jag fans thought he was better than Garrard. Jags Forum. PTR I read through the thread to which you linked. My sense is that most Jaguars' fans have given up on Garrard. The prevailing wisdom there seems to be that Edwards can't be worse than Garrard, and might (and probably is) better. Even in the Titans game, without knowing much of the playbook or having practiced with the first stringers, they saw him do things Garrard didn't do. It's also been pointed out that he's only 26, and has prototypical QB size (6'4", 230). Finally, there's the sense that Trent couldn't really show what he could do in Buffalo due to the lack of an offensive line, changes in coordinators, being thrown to the wolves too early instead of getting time to develop, and overall organizational dysfunctionality. Most Jaguars fans, however, seem to think that their QB of the future should come from the draft, with Edwards playing the role of the bridge quarterback while the rookie first rounder sits and learns. But a significant minority is willing to entertain the notion that Edwards is the long-term answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
