Early this afternoon, news broke that newly signed Jets’ quarterback David Garrard has decided to retire. The Jets brought him in to most likely offer a stable backup to Mark Sanchez and the rookie they planned on drafting, and some fans even considered him a possible starter. While nothing is completely official at this point, it appears that Garrard’s lingering knee problems will bring his promising comeback to an end. Read the rest of this entry »

QB Tajh Boyd Clemson 6’1 225

Tajh Boyd has been terrific for the Tigers and has started and been very productive since his sophomore season. The comparison with Manuel is tenuous; he doesn’t have Manuel’s height (6’4 and change) and that is a major benchmark for scouts nowadays. But there are a lot of similarities.

By Ryan Alfieri, Editor

On the surface, it is a perplexing fact that Braylon Edwards is anywhere but Florham Park this August. Not only was Bralyon a tremendous asset during the 2009 and 2010 seasons, but he was effective as a late-season addition last year and would give the team much needed depth at a position of need.

However, there are always reasons why such moves are not made. Bringing in older veterans stunts the growth of younger players, and for a rebuilding team like the Jets, adding older veterans is no way to build a team for the long-term.

So, which one is it? Let’s take a deeper look at both side of the argument.
