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

I think that Jimmy G is the best available option for the team currently. He's got a winning record, playoff experience, and is known to be a smart QB that's safe with the ball. If Rhule wants to run a ball control offense, then Jimmy G is the guy. He's led game winning drives as well, including one last year against the Rams where the 49ers had the lowest chance to win out of any team this season.

Fans that hated Teddy Bridgewater's style of quarterbacking are probably going to want to go ahead and sit out next season if the Panthers trade for Garoppolo. Most of his yardage comes from quick throws underneath and out to the flats so that his weapons can rumble after the catch. With players like CMC, DJ, and Robby that could work. If Tremble can continue to develop, that would give a much needed reliable tight end presence to work with. There's also the very real issue that Jimmy G has only successfully completed one full NFL season, so I would hope that the only way the team would trade for him is if they really believe that this OL is revamped and ready to go.

The problem with Jimmy G isn’t that he can’t play or that he doesn’t possess elite skills. Imo he does. He’s very mobile in the pocket. He has a good arm. He’s smart. 
 

The issue with him is that he’s the CMC of QBs….he can’t stay healthy and he just had major shoulder surgery. He averages like 8 games a season.

Exactly.

The injury concerns alone make the rumored x2 2nd round picks they're asking for him not worth it. At that point, hitch the wagon to Darnold behind a rebooted OL with a new OC + OL coach.

Would the Panthers win more with Jimmy Guap? Undoubtedly. That price has to be right tho.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
