I think you could make a case for JDR. Everything from "The Jack" to the "All Jacked Up" tshirts that sold like hot cakes seems to suggest that.

As far as national media exposure I think JDR and Maurice Jones are out there as much, if not more than DG.  The qb position just pays more than the others.

The face of the franchise is Del Rio.

No Doubt - it's JDR.

Face of the franchise is determined through the eye of the beholder.  In the media's eyes, it's MJD.  In the new fanbase's eyes, it's most likely Garrard and/or MJD.  In the NFL's eyes, it's Garrard.  In the long-time fans' eyes, it's most likely Freddy.

That is a good way to put it.  IMO, the NFL Network and National media will now be showing a lot of Garrard to get him in the minds of the fans across the country.  MJD will still be out there because of his personality.  To us die hard fans, we think of Fred when we think of the Jags.  But Fred is kind of reserved and I don't think he likes the spotlight a whole bunch.  Del Rio is becoming much better known, but is not the "face of the franchise" yet.  If he stays another 5 years, then he may be.

I think it was Jimmy for a long time then it went to Fred after he retired. Maybe there are multiple faces, it's like John Madden said we aren't a team of Brett Favre's where our players are always getting attention. I think our attitude and team work is the face of this franchise.

The face of the franchise is the one that gets the media attention and the commercials.

Without a doubt, MJD is the face of the franchise. He is the biggest media darling that we have ever had.
