Garrard reveals severity of knee injury
Jets Blog | ESPN New York — The case of David Garrard gets curiouser by the day. In an interview over the weekend with Peter King of Sports Illustrated, the former Jets QB revealed there wasn't much cartilage remaining in his balky knee, creating a bone-on-bone condition. "I couldn't jog most days," Garrard said. "I could barely walk around without it hurting. And we weren't even in the strenuous part of camp yet. I figured, 'No way I can just take every fourth day off.' I went to see Rex [Ryan], and I just told him I didn't think I could do it.

Jets Blog | New York Post — Former Jets quarterback David Garrard told SI.com that his knee was bone on bone and he struggled during the team’s voluntary workouts forcing him to retire last week. “I couldn't jog most days,'' he said in the report.

Garrard said he thought...

New York Jets: Not Fair to Judge John Idzik on David Garrard and Mike Goodson
Gang Green Nation — In the wake of David Garrard's retirement due to injury issues and Mike Goodson's arrest, there have been a few peoplesuggesting doubt has been cast on John Idzik's judgment. To be sure it was less than a banner week for the two signings. To take too much away from this week, though, seems like a real stretch. In the big picture, it does not seem fair to draw conclusions about Idzik based on what has happened. Garrard and Goodson were both low risk signings. Idzik knew this at the time he inked them. They were both given small money for the reason they were both risky on some level. Th...
New York Jets May 19, 2013Analyzing the backup-QB market
Jets Blog | ESPN New York — With David Garrard out of the picture, the Jets are down to Mark Sanchez and rookie Geno Smith, plus Greg McElroy and Matt Simms. On paper, it's a workable depth chart for the preseason. Thing is, GM John Idzik is always looking for competition, and he hasn't slammed the door shut on adding another quarterback. Here's the problem: It won't be easy to find a Garrard-type player, a savvy veteran with the ability to start a few games, if necessary, and the desire to serve as a mentor to Smith.

New York Jets: A Look at Free Agent Quarterback Options
Gang Green Nation — With David Garrard hanging up his cleats, the Jets will have an opening on their roster. As far as I could tell, the original plan for the Jets at quarterback looked something like this. Garrard and Geno Smith would be the top two quarterbacks. Garrard would mentor Geno. Geno would either start from day one, or Garrard would be a placeholder until Geno was ready. Hopefully Mark Sanchez would play well in preseason, and some team would be crazy enough to trade for him. Once that didn't happen, Sanchez would be cut. With Garrard gone, the plan obviously will not look exactly the same, bu...
