Jags cut QB Garrard, will start McCown (AP)

The Jacksonville Jaguars have released veteran quarterback David Garrard, a stunning move that will save the franchise $9 million this season. Whether it saves coach Jack Del Rio's job remains to be seen. Team owner Wayne Weaver has said Jacksonville needs to make the playoffs for Del Rio to stick around for a 10th season.

Actually makes sense. Garrard is just good enough to be inconsistent and expensive. Blaine Gabbert doesn't need to be thrown to the wolves, yet, and that makes McCown QB by default. Jack Del Rio is a good coach, who hasn't had the best roster to work with and David Garrard was the anchor that continuously dragged that team down to the middle of the pack.
