The Jacksonville Jaguars have 30 seasons in the books. Let’s debate their greatest players at every position.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are preparing for their 31st season as an NFL franchise.
To commemorate their history — and to provide content during the dry part of the offseason — we’d like your help in naming the team’s greatest players at every position.
Here are the nominees for Jacksonville’s All-Time Quarterback.
Stats: 25,698 passing yards, 144 touchdowns, 86 interceptions, 85.4 passer rating
Bio: A fifth-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 1993, Brunell became Jacksonville’s first player acquired via trade in 1995. He led the expansion franchise to four playoff seasons in its first five seasons, earning three Pro Bowl nods in the process, and still holds nearly every team record for career passing production. Brunell is one of four players to be inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars (joining Tony Boselli, Jimmy Smith, and Fred Taylor).
Stats: 16,003 passing yards, 89 touchdowns, 54 interceptions, 85.8 passer rating
Bio: After a record-breaking career at East Carolina, Garrard played in teal and gold for each of his nine NFL seasons. His 39 quarterback wins rank second behind Brunell in franchise history. Garrard led the Jaguars to the playoffs in 2007, his first season as the full-time starter, and he earned Pro Bowl honors in 2009.
Stats: 17,646 passing yards, 103 touchdowns, 75 interceptions, 80.6 passer rating
Bio: The “BOAT” was drafted out of UCF in 2014 and set Jacksonville’s single-season passing records for passing yards and touchdowns in 2015. Two seasons later, Bortles helped the Jaguars reach their first AFC Championship since 1999. He ultimately played in Jacksonville for just five seasons, but he ranks behind only Brunell in career passing yards and touchdowns with the franchise. Bortles’ career 6.2 yards per carry ranks fourth in NFL history behind Michael Vick, Bobby Douglass, and Randall Cunningham (min. 70 games played).
Stats: 13,815 passing yards, 69 touchdowns, 46 interceptions, 85.0 passer rating
Bio: Lawrence was pegged as a generational talent when the Jaguars drafted him first overall in 2021. He led the league in interceptions as a rookie before leading the Jaguars to a dramatic playoff win in Year 2. His past two seasons have been marred by inconsistent play and various injuries, but with Liam Coen and Travis Hunter added to the fold this offseason, there’s still time for the 25-year-old to meet his pre-draft hype. Lawrence currently ranks fourth in team history in passing yards and touchdowns behind the three aforementioned names.
