David Garrard

QB Luke McCown: No Controversy In Jacksonville

After David Garrard and Luke McCown split reps during a May minicamp, there was some speculation the starting quarterback position was up for grabs in Jacksonville. Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter had said McCown was "sharp" and that they "like what we see out of Luke in the meeting room and what we saw of him in minicamp." But McCown has indicated there is no quarterback controversy.

"It's David's job," McCown said on Sirius NFL Radio. "There's been a lot more made about it being a competition than there really should be. If anybody even hints to me about the idea of it being an open competition, I'm all for it. But that's not the case."

Fantasy Impact: 

Garrard needs to play better, but it's hard to see McCown being a savior if Garrard stumbles. With Jacksonville's centerpiece on offense being Maurice Jones-Drew, whoever lines up under center is not going to be anything more than a fantasy backup. Garrard is currently ranked 18 in our rankings.

Added as a minor note to article about Jaguars Guard Justin Smiley, David Garrard appears entrenched in the quarterback job. Luke McCown doesn't seem to be pushing him.

Fantasy Impact: 

Albeit, very early in the offseason, this bit of news gives fantasy GMs an early look at the QB battle in Jacksonville.

Buccaneers embattled WR Michael Clayton said that he understands his roster status is not safe with Tampa Bay. Clayton is coming off the worst season of his career just after receiving a lucrative contract extension prior to the 2009 season.

Last season the Bucs started Byron Leftwich, Josh Johnson, and Josh Freeman at quarterback. During the 2009 offseason and training camp, Leftwich and Luke McCown were battling for the right to start. Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris agreed with Clayton's claim about the quarterback continuity.

Clayton has not produced a 40-catch, 500-yard, or multiple touchdown season in the past five years. Still, the Buccaneers had some very productive receivers in that time.

Clayton, the team's first-round pick in 2004, has never produced the numbers that he was able to generate during his rookie season when he had 80 catches for 1,193 yards and seven touchdowns. Clayton feels that he can have an impact on the roster and earn playing time in 2010.

This offseason Tampa Bay traded for veteran Reggie Brown and drafted wide receivers Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams. Clayton is facing tough competition to get any playing time in addition to making the team. The Buccaneers also have holdovers Maurice Stovall, Mark Bradley, and Sammie Stroughter competing for playing time.

Fantasy Impact: 

Clayton is just not a dependable fantasy player and hasn't been since his remarkable rookie season in 2004. Maybe a change of scenery would be best, but he'll need to prove himself a few weeks in a row no matter where he is before he's even considered a fantasy starter. He should be on your waiver wire come the first week of the season...

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio addressed the competition between starting QB David Garrard and backup QB Luke McCown. Del Rio doesn’t hide the fact he believes the competition from McCown has pushed Garrard to become more of a leader.

“I really like the situation there,” Del Rio said. “I really believe that Luke has ramped up his preparation and is going to push [Garrard] in every way he can. I think that’s a very healthy dynamic for us at that position.

“I’m loving it where David is at right now and the way he’s approaching things. If you don’t know, sometimes you need a reminder. But, this business is very competitive, for everybody. … It is a performance-based business. You have to play ball, you have to be somebody that can help the team win. And if not, the team is looking for somebody that can. That’s just the nature of this business. I like where David is right now mentally. There’s a little edginess to him, but it’s respectful. And I think it’s really healthy for us. He’s pushing not only himself, but his teammates around him. I think he’s taken a step forward as a leader.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Last week this looked like a competition, but this makes it seem like Garrard will resume the starting role. Neither figures to be a great great fantasy option, but could maybe serve as backups on your roster in deeper leagues, depending who wins the job in the end.
