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

Garoppolo is a very sexy man therefore I think we should acquire him 

The man is a real difference maker -- if signed he will lift this franchise up in a way...

Garoppolo is not my pick to be the starter for the Panthers, but he is not as bad as people make him out to be.

The 49ers were 31-14 with Jimmy G. If you were to remove Jimmy G's game winning drives, the 49ers would have been 22-23. That is a significant impact. If Mayfield were the QB over this period of time for the 49ers, I would project the 49ers to have a 28-16 record not go to SB 54, not beat the Rams to get into the playoffs, and not beat the Packers to get to the NFC Championship.

Garoppolo converts 42% of his teams possible losses into wins. In comparison, Mayfield comes in at 19%, Watson comes in at 28%, Stafford comes in at 30%, Brady comes in at 42%, and Mahomes comes in at 43%. This is a measure of how effective a QB is at winning a game when the defense can't carry the game and the offense/coaching has failed to execute going into the 4th quarter.

From a Panthers perspective, Cam Newton is 22%, Jake Delhomme was 38%, and Sam Darnold is 11%.

Without diving into the complete model I use to measure a QB, this is the statistical foundation of what defines a successful QB in the NFL.

I will say this Garoppolo > Newton > Mayfield > Darnold. I project 3 QBs from the draft to be as good or better than Garoppolo. I believe none of those 3 QBs will be taken in the 1st round.

Go look at his playoff stats and get back to me. He sucks. He's been on some damn good teams.

Come on man, they beat 2 division champions on the road and lost by a FG to the eventual SB Champion. He wasn’t Brady, but damn the man deserves a little credit.

Did he light up the box score? Absolutely not, but he wasn’t awful either. The 49ers offense isn’t anything to write home about and will struggle with Lance starting next year. 

I'm sorry, but did you watch the games? I think awful is a pretty fair description of his play.

They beat GB 13-10 with 11/19 passing for 131 yards 0 TDs and 1 INT...  They scored off a blocked punt and 2 FGs.  You think that was Jimmy G? The game before at Dallas 16/25 172 yards 0 TDs and 1 INT.  Debo and Mitchell were able to run it in for him plus 3 FGs.  Those look very similar to Darnold numbers on a much better roster.

It's what he does. He panics and does dumb poo. That's why I honestly don't think he'd look much different than Sam Darnold if he was playing for us. Take him off of a great overall roster with a good offensive minded coach and he's probably going to look a whole lot like Sam Darnold.

I agree Jimmy G is a lateral move.  Mayfield is a step up to at least midlevel.  I'd prefer to trade down and draft one, but Mayfield for cheap at LT in the draft is a decent plan B... (assuming the eat a chunk of his salary and we give up very little)

    • I admit it. Done it a few times but he had something in that video that I'll confess to.  First, never wanted him in the draft, and really was strongly against selecting him. I don’t really see anything that tells me I am off base yet. So I expect him to maybe look better but even so, her is the point: Donnelly asks if people that want him to fail? He has to kill it this year to get me off of that train.  I feel like him being average or game manager and like, the 23rd best QB if he improves.... I don’t want that again in ’25 and ’26. If our QB is gonna be mediocre, may as well take another shot at better. 
    • A write up on Panthers schedule from NFL.COM Carolina Panthers 2023 RECORD: 2-15 · NFC SOUTH: 4TH Carolina Panthers' complete 2024 NFL schedule Strength of schedule: .467 (T-29) Bye: Week 11   Three marquee matchups: Week 5: at Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. ET on FOX Week 10: vs. New York Giants, 9:30 a.m. ET on NFL Network (Munich) Week 12: vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. ET on CBS   Biggest takeaways: Bryce Young takes on Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix within four weeks. The NFL clumped together the rookie quarterbacks on the Panthers' slate in 2024. Young takes on the Bears' Williams in Week 5, the Commanders' Daniels in Week 7 and the Broncos' Nix in Week 8, giving us an on-field comparison of where the 2023 No. 1 overall pick stands in his development versus some of this year's crop. Heck, if something happens in Atlanta and Michael Penix is in the saddle by Week 6, Young could square off against four consecutive rookie QBs. Not only does the stretch give us a chance to see Young against his peers, but it also gives the Panthers a chance to make some hay against other rebuilding clubs, potentially.  Brutal stretch to close the season. New coach Dave Canales' club had better get off to a hot start, because the end of the campaign looks rough on paper. Coming out of a Week 11 bye, the Panthers play five of their final seven games against 2023 playoff teams, starting with Kansas City, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia and Dallas in consecutive weeks. That's a ruthless stretch for a young team hoping to gain momentum looking toward 2025 and Year 2 of a new regime. But if the Panthers come out with positive results, it will be clear that Canales has built a solid foundation. Shut out of prime time. The Panthers are the lone club without a single prime-time game on the docket for 2024. Carolina's one standalone match comes against the New York Giants in Germany, where they'll meet former Panther Brian Burns, a first-round pick in 2019 who was traded away this offseason. It's a bummer not to have any prime-time games, but we can spin this positively. Canales' young bunch has the opportunity to grow outside the limelight and pressure that comes with those night tilts. Learning to win is a big part of developing in the NFL. If Carolina can string together a bunch of Sunday afternoon victories, there will always be flex options for the league later in the campaign.    -- Kevin Patra
