David's contract is fantastic. It's good for the team and it's good for David. Fantastic! I'll be back in full force tomorrow![End Note]

WOW! 6 year deal worth $60 million dollars...$20 million of it is guaranteed...just under Tony Romo's $28 million guaranteed. he was asking for Romo kind of money and he came pretty darn close, though Romo totally turned the Cowboys franchise aroun.

Do we all think that Garrard is truly worth that in the long run?

Do we draft a QB and have him sit behind Garrard for a few years?

gotta say

i think this is a very fair contract. i think it's the only contract he'll ever get from the jags, so it has to be some decent money. granted, there is a chance that this year was a fluke, but if you look at all the potential he has shown every year for the past two years, it seems like he really has turned the light on, and that it should continue.

as for Romo, while he has def shown ability, he's yet to win a playoff game. also, i'd say that garrard has significantly changed the jags outlook.

i think that drafting someone like josh johnson would be great.
