Jaguars coach Del Rio doesn’t consider Garrard an elite QB

The Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio appeared on ESPN’s Jim Rome Show Thursday. Unlike other coaches who may always give good words on the team’s star player, Del Rio’s comments on Jaguars’ starting quarter David Garrard sounded interesting.

Being asked whether Garrard is a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback, Del Rio said that David Garrard as a quarterback is not good enough. He compared Garrard to the starting quarterbacks of teams that have won multiple championships. He though quarterbacks like Peyton Manning or Joe Montana could be called elite quarterbacks. Garrard is not because the Jaguars do not have any elite quarterback as they never won championship.

Garrard, in his ninth season of wearing Jaguars jersey, becomes only the second Jaguars QB to compete in the Pro Bowl following Mark Brunell. But his production in 2009 was dissatisfying- he completed only 60.9 percent of his passes for 3,597 yards, with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
