The Jaguars have three pretty decent QBs but none of them are standouts.  Byron Leftwich will likely be the starter as he’s by far the past passer of the Jags collection of signal callers.  Leftwich has always played pretty well but his main problem is just staying healthy.  He only played in 6 games last season (6 starts) and he completed 108 of 183 passes (59%) for 1,159 yards with 7 TD passes and 5 interceptions (79.0 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 25 times for 41 yards (1.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  If Leftwich can stay healthy this season, the Jaguars will have a good chance of making the NFL Playoffs again in 2007.  He has played in 46 games (44 starts) in his NFL career and he has completed 789 of 1,344 passes (58.7%) for 9,042 yards with 51 TD passes and 36 INTs (80.5 QB Rating).  He also has carried the football 120 times for 364 yards (3.0 ypc).

The backup QB will be David Garrard.  Garrard has a little bit of a different skill set than Leftwich does.  Garrard is a much better runner than a passer and that makes the Jags a little to 1-dimensional when he’s on the field.  He played in 11 games (10 starts) last season and he completed 145 of 241 (60.2%) passes for 1,735 yards with 10 TD passes and 9 INTs (80.5 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 47 times for 250 yards (5.3 ypc).  If Garrard was just a little bit better as a passer he likely would be the Jaguars choice to be the starter because he causes defenses big problems with his legs.  Garrard has played in 28 games (18 starts) in his career and he has completed 313 of 539 (58.1%) passes for 3,543 yards with 18 TD passes and 13 INTs (78.9 QB Rating).  He also has carried the football 115 times for 637 yards (5.5 ypc) with 6 TD runs.

Quinn Gray is the #3 QB and he always seems to play well when he gets the chance.  It has usually been at mop-up time however so it’s a little hard to evaluate him fairly.  He played in 2 games (0 starts) last year for the Jags and he completed 13 of 22 (59.1%) passes for 166 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs (82.8 QB Rating).  He also carried the ball 2 times for 26 yards (13.0 ypc) and both of his carries went for TDs!   Gray seems a little more like Garrard than Leftwich, but he’s one of the best third string QBs in the NFL.  He has played in 3 games (0 starts) in his NFL career and he has completed 21 of 36 passes (58.3%) for 266 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions (100.0 QB Rating).  He also has carried the football 5 times for 27 yards (5.4 ypc) with 2 TD runs.
