Could Jimmy G still be on the table?

[FuFuLamePoo]

I know we just drafted Corral, who is certainly a fun day 3 project QB but when is the last time a day two QB came and immediately performed at even an average level for an NFL starter? I guess Dalton, Carr, and Dak could maybe be examples but historically speaking it's not something you can rely on. We still have a lot of available cap space, and do we really think Rhule is hitching his wagon to Sam D in his make or break year? Because I truly don't see Corral starting until November at the earliest, if he ever starts at all this year.

We still have plenty of available cap space, I'm just trying to read between the lines here. Because if we aren't still pursuing this Clowney should have been here yesterday.

Roll with this group.  Our cap situation sucks next year and any rolled over cap will be greatly needed. Tepper has given Rhule a vote of confidence for this season, so ol' Matty boy isn't pressed to make hasty decisions...such as trading for Jimmy G. or Mayfield.

When he gets cut... if they do... I definitely  think he could come for cheap ...

[Mr. Scot]

Hope not...

[LinvilleGorge]

He shouldn't be. If this crew hasn't learned their lesson about vet castoff QBs by now them they're truly hopeless.

First of all, this isn't a make or break year for Rhule. Tepper has already bashed that. So why bring in Jimmy G and take on his salary when the Panthers don't think that Jimmy is that great. Now if he gets released that is different. But then again why would he want to come here if he were a free agent.

[Jmac]

Nope

The only way one of these vets is a necessary, is if darnold is off of the roster.

I'd love to have JimmyG.  He would be a substantial upgrade over Sam.  That said, I don't see us trading for a vet QB at this point.

Not at that cap hit. Or anything even remotely close to it.

This! Roll that cap over to offset some of these restructures we did this year. Either Sam is going to play and get Rhule fired or we will see what we have in Corral. Hopefully it’s Corral, but either way let’s play it out this year with minor changes/money spent. 

[frankw]

He's not that big of an upgrade and the 49ers were asking for a 2nd round pick last I heard. This idea should be done and over with by now.

[shaq]

Is our team so amazing that we could truly compete with a true game manager at qb? We both know any other QB trade/signing is just Rhule tryna save his ass, let’s roll with our group heck we just drafted a first round talented QB according to our guys. 

[Lurk21]

I'm sure they may be thinking of another vet Qb to bring in but I don't know who. That Qb room definitely  needs somebody besides Sam and PJ for Matt to lean on.
