IMO the better the Jags are, the worse Garrards fantasy stats are going to be. if they can play good D and get leads they'll run, run, run with that revamped O-line and it'll be back to Garrard throwing 150 yds with a TD each week
To me, having an offensive line + an improvement to the god-awful receiving corps they had last year has to help his stats, along with improving the Jaguars team as a whole.
On most teams in the NFL that might be true...but on a select few, if things go as planned for them and they are a better team overall, then the QB stats will suffer. Those teams include the Jags, Titans, Ravens, Steelers, Vikings, and Panthers. The better those teams are and they play overall as a team, the more they'll run and the less their QB's will put up stats or will even need to do so. There are probably more but those are some off the top of my head.

I'll call it a gut feeling and leave it at that, since most statistics will go against what I think.
Chad Pennington, Joe Flacco, Brady Quinn, Ben Roethlisberger, K.Collins, Garrard, Russell, E. Manning, J. Campbell, Culpepper, Rosenfels
Mark Sanchez, Kellen Clemens, K. Orton, Thigpen, Stafford

No Matt Ryan?
No Matt Hasselbeck either. I'd bet a lot of money on him having better numbers than many of the QBs listed there. I'm guessing they are mere oversights though, not a belief that these guys aren't going to make the top 28 QBs on the year.
1st of all, Eagles 21, you know way to much about the Jags. Aren't they in the CFL, yet?
As for the rankings, McNabb is too high. Look at the articles on AUG 7th and I talk about it in more detail. McNabb will remain a top-10 QB, but he is certainly not a top-5. He is a low-risk, medium-reward type player. He has only thrown over 20 TDs twice in the last 6 years or so. And as someone said earlier, his rushing yards have declined drastically.
