The Miami Dolphins have released veteran quarterback David Garrard. That's according to the Herald on Tuesday, which stated the move was made one day after he returned from a knee injury which hampered his entire preseason. Garrard took to Twitter to confirm, stating "To all the dolphins fans thx for ur support! Best of luck to all my teammates. Thx for making me feel at home!! Phins up!!" The 34-year-old had arthroscopic knee surgery and missed the entire exhibition slate. Despite being at the top of the club's QB list at the start of training camp, he slipped to fourth. Rookie Ryan Tannehill eventually got the nod as the starter. Source: Sports Network
Man the Dolphins have completely torn up the textbook on how to develop a project QB. Adopting the throwing the lamb to the wolves technique with Tannehill just seems they are asking for him to fail in the NFL.
