Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback David Garrard likely needs a strong season to avoid losing his starting job.
The Jaguars nearly drafted a quarterback in this year’s NFL Draft but ultimately decided to improve other areas.
Garrard has been a tease ever since he replaced Byron Leftwich as the team’s starting quarterback.
He is excellent at avoiding interceptions, but he struggles to consistently move the offense down the field. (Read More…)

The good news for the Jacksonville Jaguars: four home games in the first six weeks of the 2010 schedule.
The not-so-good news: four road games in the final six weeks.
The National Football League has released game times and dates for the 2010 season. It’s hard not to notice the number of home games the Jags have at the start of the season, and how many road games they have at the finish.
Jacksonville begins 2010 at home against Denver on Sept. 12. A visit to AFC West champion San Diego is next, followed by two challenging home games: against Philadelphia and against AFC champion and AFC South rival Indianapolis. After a road trip to Buffalo, the Jags play at home again, on Monday Night Football Oct. 18 against Tennessee.
Two consecutive road games wrap up the first half of the season, with trips to Kansas City and Dallas. The bye week comes in week 9 on Nov. 7.
Jacksonville begins the second half with consecutive home games against Houston and Cleveland. Then the difficult finishing stretch, four road games in six games, commences.
It starts with trips to the New York Giants and Tennessee. Jacksonville returns home for a home game against Oakland on Dec. 12, followed by a visit to Indianapolis, the final home game against Washington, and the final game of the season, at Houston.

The Jacksonville Jaguars 2010 schedule has been released and features a difficult start followed by a lot of balance the rest of the way.
After the season opener at home against Denver, things get very hard in a hurry for Jacksonville.
The Jaguars play at San Diego followed by back-to-back home contests against Philadelphia and Indianapolis.
Games at Dallas and the New York Giants in the middle of the season will prove difficult, but Kansas City, Cleveland, Oakland, Buffalo and Washington are all mixed in.
Jacksonville is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2009 season, but taking down divisional foes will be a tall order.

Five of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 16 games this season will be against four teams that combined for 49 wins last season.
That’s why the Jags have one of the more difficult schedules in the National Football League in 2010.
The NFL has released the list of home games and road games for each of its teams. Dates and times will be announced later this spring.
The Jags look at a schedule that ranks fifth-toughest in the league, based on opponents’ winning percentage. A big reason why is a home-and-home with AFC champion and AFC South rival Indianapolis, a home game with NFC wild-card team Philadelphia, and road games at AFC West champion San Diego and NFC East champion Dallas.
Those four teams combined to go 49-15 last season.
Jacksonville also plays home games against Houston, Tennessee, Denver, Oakland, Cleveland and Washington. On the road, the Jags travel to Houston, Tennessee, Kansas City, Buffalo and the New York Giants.
