Jeremy Fowler: Panthers have done their due diligence on QB Jimmy Garoppolo

I hope their due diligence told them he sucks because he does. Take him off the Niners' great roster with a very good offensive coach and put him here and he's probably indistinguishable from Sam Darnold.

[Jaxel]

No way! Who could have guessed that?

[DFive]

If only they had done the same when vetting Matt Rhule. 

I honestly, hope they put this same effort into finding our next HC

[TheSpecialJuan]

who would you rather have tho?

No harm, no foul...so far. No pending deal. If there's a deal, the Devil is always I the details. 

I just don't see anything happening on any front, save for a journeyman, without Darnold being shipped to the other party as a result, and what self-respecting GM wants to do that? 

But, if we can jettison Darnold and halfway fix the compounded path of destruction of the wake of that trade and mitigate future damage, I'd be OK with it. No more dilly-dallying with day 1 and day 2 draft picks, please?!

That (Jettisoning Darnold) would be the only way I would do something like this, with the possible exception on Minshew on the cheap.  Even then, it would be only because we have zero QBs on the roster who are under contract after this season, and thankfully so.  Filling the entire QB depth chart at once is a tall order, which may be Rhule's replacement's first major lift.

But, barring a bargain-basement deal for somebody, let's stop throwing good money after bad.  While our QB room is not at all expensive by NFL standards this year, the return on that investment is extremely poor.  It will probably be negative, unless Darnold harnesses his inner Marino. 

Right now, his only inner Marino is Luigi, not Dan.

Exactly

[CarolinaNCSU]

I wish we would just go ahead and get whatever bad QB the staff has convinced themselves on. I'm ready to move into the bargaining stage where I convince myself they'll be okay for a couple of weeks, before then repeating the cycle and hating everything again.

Do not trade for anyone.

Good point.

[TLGPanthersFan]

49er fans really want us to take him and give them our 1st round pick. To that I say…HAH!

Yeah, this feels inevitable. Let's just get whatever bad trade for Baker or Jimmy G done and start the process of getting rid of Rhule.
