JACKSONVILLE — As I pointed out yesterday, Luke McCown’s passer rating of 1.8 set a Jaguars record — just not one a quarterback wants to set.
Here are some of the more telling McCown stats through two games:
- McCown is the NFL’s lowest-rated passer (for starting quarterbacks) with a passer rating of 30.4
- He is the NFL’s only starting quarterback yet to complete a pass of more than 30 yards.
- He’s tied with Tavaris Jackson for the second-lowest yards per attempt average (5.4)
- He’s the only starting quarterback with two games under his belt yet to throw a touchdown pass.
- His first-down percentage is 29th in the league.
- His QBR (ESPN) Sunday was the third-lowest in the league since 2008.
Del Rio defenders can back the coach’s decision to dump David Garrard all they want. But they can’t possibly argue that Garrard would be this bad. Garrard was inconsistent at times (many times, actually), and he was never very good, but he was also never this awful.
Somehow, I get the feeling Garrard gets a kick out of the whole thing. During the game yesterday, he tweeted the following:
At my man Patrick Ransdell’s house in Wilmington, nc. Watching all the football games.
It’s as if Garrard, who’s not very active on Twitter, really wanted fans to know he was watching the same thing they were.
At this point, it doesn’t matter. Garrard is gone, and the team can’t possibly bring him back, especially after the PR disaster his release was.
The front office must make a decision. The team can continue with a quarterback barely capable of achieving mediocrity, or it can throw the towel in, let Blaine Gabbert takes his lumps and cross their fingers Maurice Jones-Drew and the defense can carry the team to the playoffs.
It’s one god damn game !!!!….Maybe we just go ahead and throw away the season because of luke’s bad preformance in week 2 !!! Come on !!! Stand by your leader, back him up and move on….It is now week 3 !!! Time to fix the mistakes and look at carolina !
Also, McCown posted a Total QBR of 0.4 in Week 2, which was the worst! Way to go, Luke!!! (Or not.) In addition, Garrard should still have been starting, the Jags would’ve had a fighting chance with him, versus no chance with Luke. I’m out.
Come on Jags just do SOMETHING!! I’m getting tired of this year after year….Personally i say if Gabberd is the new face of the Jaguars to come then that time has come, put him in! If we’re gonna loose might as well give him the practice now!
Mcclown needs to stay bench warmer also we better get another qb on deck.
I hear Trent Edwards is a free agent haha
[...] your starter give you when one is a rookie with little reviewable game tape, and the other played so bad last week he couldn’t earn a double-digit passer [...]
