It is this season only and it is in no order.

Tom Brady
Peyton Manning
Ben Roethilsberger
Derek Anderson
David Garrard

Brady has thrown for 48 TD's and only 8 INT. That is amazing and only needs 2 more TD's to break Mannings TD record. Brady also has thrown for 4450 yards and a QB rating of 117.2. He is a potential MVP candidate and why not with the year he is having.

Peyton Manning has gone this season without Harrison for the most part, but still has managed to throw 31 TD's and 14 INT and 3945 yards. He has a QB rating of 96.0. It is not his best year, but still is a good year and he has had no Harrison a lot.

Roethilsberger has thrown 32 TD's and only 11 INT for 3154 passing yards. He has a QB rating of 104.1 which is 2nd best in the AFC. He averages 7.8 per pass and does not really have an amazing WR to throw to.

Anderson has had a nice breakout season. He has thrown 28 TD's and 18 INT. He has thrown for 3636 passing yards and with an average of 7.2 yards per pass. He has a QB rating of 82.7.

Garrard does not turn the ball over much. He has 18 TD's to only 3 INT. That is impressive. He has 2509 yars and a QB rating of 102.2 (3rd in AFC).

Did you forget about INT. Palmer has 23 TD to 18 INT. That is way too many TD for a QB. INT give the ball to the other team which gives them a good opportunity to score and you can easily lose the game with an INT, so 18 is way too many to throw.

Garrard rarely throws an INT, in fact Garrard did not thrown an INT until Week 13, that is a long time without an INT and that is a main reason why the Jaguars will be making the playoffs.

Garrard can run the ball okay, he has 185 rushing yards and a TD and Palmer has 22 rushing yards with 0 TD.

Garrard has only played 12 games, so that is 3 fewer than Palmer and Palmer has many more attempts, so that is why Garrard has way less yards than Palmer. Also Garrard only has 5 less TD than Palmer, so he could have more if he played those games and that is why he has way less 1st downs also.

Garrard has a QB rating of 102.2 and Palmer has a QB rating of 84.6. Garrard also averages 7.7 yards per pass and Palmer averages 7 yards per pass.

Palmer has way better receivers to throw to. Palmer has Chad Johnson and T.J Houshmanzadeh. Garrard has no one to throw to.

Palmer also has fumbled 5 times and Garrard has only fumbled 3x.

Defense has nothing to with how good a QB plays, so I do not know why you brung it up to show he has less defensive support, but a QB plays on offense.

All of those Quarterbacks that you named have more touchdowns than Palmer, so there INT to TD ratio is better than what Palmers is.

You cannot compare T.J Housh and Chad Johnson to the Jaguars receivers which are Dennis Northcutt, Ernest Wilford, Reggie Williams, and Matt Jones. Both of the Bengals receivers are better than all of them and any other WR on the whole entire Jaguars team. David Garrard has much less to work with receiving wise than Carson Palmer does. So with the support Garrard has, I think he does a great job leading that team.

Palmer has more Yards per game and 1st down passes per game because he attempts a pass more than David Garrard does. Palmer averages 36.2 passes per game and Garrd averages 27.1 passes per game.

The bottom line is pretty much like this. Palmer turns the ball over way more than Garrard does and only has 5 more TD's than him. Garrard throws 6 TD's for every INT and Palmer throws 1.2 TD per INT which is not that good. Garrard has a much better ratio.

Jags=playoffs, CIN=no
