Kyle Bailey on WFNZ afternoon show came up with a QB idea based on his interview with Fitt..

He focused on Fitt's wording of "stabilizing" the QB position this offseason.. Not committing to Cam or Sam but "stabilizing" that position.. Not even talking about the rookie class which he called " good but not great".. 

So Kyle was talking about FA QB and he came up to Jimmy G.. He said he had info that San Fran was interested in Darnold before the panthers made the move to get him.. So His Idea is Jimmy is has 1 more contract year in San Francisco but knows they are ready to move on.. Sam isn't wanted here so Maybe a trade of Sam for Jimmy..

Why would San Francisco  do it??

Well Sam makes less then Jimmy..

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/jimmy-garoppolo-14472/

24.2 mil

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/sam-darnold-25098/#:~:text=Sam Darnold signed a 4,dead cap value of %2418%2C858%2C000.

18.8 million 

For sam 5 mil off their books and a player they know will accept being a backup to Trey..

Panthers would do it for Stabilization of the QB position.. And Jimmy G isn't great he is way better then Sam.. It also gives them a chance to compete 2022 while still having assets and money ready for a shot at a better Qb in 2023.. And If Jimmy looks good on the Panthers maybe that will interest a better FA QB in 2023..

Jmo let Rhule ride and die with Sam.. But many here think you can't go into the season with Sam as the starter.. So here's  a way that doesn't happen..

No shot we do it. They'll offload Jimmy G for somebody cheaper or draft picks. They're not paying a rookie contract to Trey and 18 mil to his backup that they have to know is damaged goods that needs a perfect situation and a therapist to be consistently good.

 

We need to stabilize this organization. Rhule and Co gotta go.

I think Jimmy G is actually better than average.  Perhaps significantly so.

And there's the rub.  No one is really sure what to make of him, because the guy just can't seem to stay healthy.  In his two healthiest seasons, he's 13-3 and 9-6.  I could sure stand a little of that in Panthers land.  Also, in his two fullest seasons he has 4 and 3 fourth quarter comebacks.  Yes please.

Unfortunately, that's two seasons out of five.  Even this year where he did play 15 games, he missed two.  And while Jimmy can slide a bit in the pocket, he's not high level elusive.  The 49ers have a pretty good line and he's missed a lot of time . . . imagine with ours.  Yikes.

I would rather we just suck for another year, clear the cap of easy money, and find another QB whether through the draft or elsewhere.  In all likelihood we are going to have to draft another phenom QB and hopefully this time not waste their career.

Maybe we can find someone who hasn't quite worked somewhere else but I'd rate our chances of winning the Superbowl in this circumstance as only slightly more than now.

Of course a 10% effectiveness increase is pretty substantial and will get our hopes up if we can even push it that high.

Because he is an average starting QB on the last year of a deal.

He isn't going to elevate your franchise with his play very often.

I thought he had one more year left on his deal?

 

Edit.  Yeah he has one more year at a modest 26 million.  Depending on how the playoffs work out I think they just ride him out on their roster as insurance for lance.  Who is still a long way off.

The price would be step in attaining him and signing him.   But again why would the niners move him?

They'd move him because he doesn't want to be there and play second fiddle. 

Also, "steep" is relative.

That's the thing. If Lance is the guy next year, Jimmy G will be gone.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
