In this video segment, ESPN's John Clayton comments on Tannehill being named starter and David Garrard's future with the Dolphins: VIDEO
Not that I think it's a forgone conclusion that Garrard will be gone or anything, but I'm not taking Clayton's opinion as any more likely as anyone else's.
I agree. I figured it would give us something to talk about, seeing that there was a post somewhere on here implying Garrard is a goner as a cap casualty. I honestly think it would behoove the Dolphins to keep Garrard, and (as much as I hate saying this) try to get value for Moore (if that is even an option). BUT, the Dolphins would be in big poop if Tannehill goes down, THEN Garrard goes down. Tough situation (in a good way) for the team and the players involved.
Theoretically he is right but he is not considering his contract or injury situation.Gerrard gets paid his full salary if he is on the opnening day roster I believe.And we dont know the extent or recovery time of his injuries.
I think I also read/heard that he MAY have a longer recovery time than originally proposed? Heard anything about that?
Armando said something to the effect that "Garrad wasn't exactly ahead of schedule in his recovery" which lead people to believe he is behind. In reality its Armando being Armando and blowing smoke where there isn't a fire. On Hardknocks Garrad says his recovery is going fine and he plans to be back within the original 2 to 4 weeks.
Watching Hard Knocks tonight, I got a chance to check out Garrard doing some of his PT. From incision placement and the recovery time (via reports), I am pretty confident Garrard had an arthroscopic meniscectomy. This is common, especially among athletes. Hope he has a routine recovery. CK pointed out on another post that Garrard counts roughly 2 million against the cap if he is on the roster. Matt Moore around 3 million. This is an interesting thing to note. If Garrard merely had a meniscal tear, it may not be a good thing for Matt.
I really don't see the need for Garrard on this team..unless someone offers up a third round pick for Moore.
Hmmmmm. Armando tosses out an off handed comment like that and then Jason Cole adds our name to a list of possible teams interested in Jackson. Sigh. Those two play this same stupid ****ing game all the time with us. They did it with Fisher, Cowher, Manning & Flynn this year alone. I loathe them both. Anyone else think Jason Cole looks like Grimace melting?
