I suggested this when he was cut, and was lambasted for it. The only problem I see is that Garrard only wants to play where he can start, and for a contender. All those years in ****ty Jacksonville left a sour taste in his mouth I suppose.I'd say David Garrard could be that guy. Not our QB, for sure, but a guy to be a placeholder in case Beck fails...
Man, I really admire people who can still think playoffs...my mindset now unfortunately is "no way, no how."It's just a shame for him we have the injuries on the O line right now. He's not going to get the help from the running game like Rex was getting or the pass protection. Hopefully he can manage .500 ball till T Williams returns and we might have an outside chance at the playoffs.

PLAYOFFS?!?!?!?
Well, I wouldn't have signed him in the offseason... But we've seen Grossman now, and he's not what we wanted. So even if Beck pans out, we have one QB under contract. We may want another that knows the system. But like you said, he may not want to come here. Although I'd rather be on a football team than not on one.I suggested this when he was cut, and was lambasted for it.

Heh, I think there's a 150% chance Garrard finds a new team this offseason - the only reason he doesn't have one is because the Jags effed him by cutting him so late. I'm surprised the Raiders didn't even bring him in for a workout, instead opting for giving up as many as 2 first round picks for a guy with huge injury concerns...Well, I wouldn't have signed him in the offseason...

LOL, he needed a manziere! Terrible.One thing that really didn't set well with me was when Grossman admitted he came to camp a bit out of shape and was carrying some extra weight.
Exactly. Let's see what Beck is because Grossman is what he is. And he's had ample time to prove his critics wrong.As he should be.
He may not be the answer. But Grossman certainly isn't.
