A pretty scathing review of the Jags in the NY Times. It's pretty smart and definitely in-depth. I think he's too critical of Garrard and his characterization of Sims-Walker as inconsistent seems like someone just looking at stats but overall a very impressive take on the Jags from a national writer.

I think he's wrong on Garrard. Two years ago, Garrard lead the league in passing attempts without interceptions (or was close). The next year he didn't do as well. The author explains it as him being unable to shoulder an increased playmaking responsibility. I didn't watch enough Jags games closely to deny this, but it reeks to me of seeing a pattern and simply inventing something to explain it. Not all results are meaningful, and I still believe Garrard to have a true talent level of an above average QB.
