Jimmy G.s biggest suitors are reportedly the Raiders and Texans.  Fingers crossed it's the Raiders (besides lots of porn star potential girlfriends in Vegas).  Who honestly WANTS to go to the Texans anyway?

If the Raiders land Jimmy G., that's a double win for us. It means the Raiders are out of the QB draft market (at least first round) and the Texans may move up to #1 if our staff wants that option.

Speculation I've seen floated on nfl network is qb needy teams are looking at him as bridge qb for those thinking of drafting Richardson.

Also just speculated that he might not want to go to a team that's looking to draft a rookie because he wouldn't want to look over his shoulder again.

It's probably a valid point, and it would definitely take us out of the market.

You are going to hear all kinds of things before FA is over. The Panthers still have to sign a vet and the only names we've heard mentioned is Carr and Sam Darnold. I doubt Sam is the only FA qb they are talking to either.

It's happening...

People hoping he wasn't coming here are getting their wish 😄

The Raiders aren't likely to move up for a QB now.  If one falls to them, possibly.  That only leaves the Falcons as a trade up possibility to the top 5, more importantly that tricky #3.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      No no no. I mean draft a guy like cousins in the 3rd or 4th. That is when he was drafted.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Said Bryce is part of the wins and plays a key position. Not the same as saying he's the key to the wins. But also not denying he plays a role in them because...well, he did. Even if you limit his contributions to the  game winning drives in the 4th quarter, those still count. And yes, he's improved. but saying that doesn't equate to saying he's good enough to put the franchise label on him. It's just a simple acknowledgement that he's better than he used to be (to what degree is debatable). As to his initial expectations, I'll just say stats aren't the only thing I don't care about. What he is matters way more than what he was expected to be. And what is he? He's what you referenced, a mid-tier quarterback. Not the "worst in the league" or "worst ever" as some claim. That's just hyperbole.  Lots of teams have those. Very few teams have elite ones. And I wouldn't bet on next year's draft having a supply of those either. And again, stats. We used to have a number of folks who bandied about some of Delhomme's stats, Newton's stats, etc. to argue they weren't good. But lets look at a few of those... What metric do you prefer? Yards, perhaps? Well, if those are key then Jared Goff, Sam Darnold and Bo Nix are all doing better than Baker Mayfield right now.  The second best quarterback in the league? Dak Prescott. And Young? Well, he's outpacing CJ Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Tua Tagavailoa and even Aaron Rodgers. Prefer touchdowns? Cool. On that front, Jared Goff is tied for third in the league with Drake Maye, leading Rodgers, Mayfield. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen among others. Bryce is 15th in the league here, just a single score shy of Rodgers, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Josh Allen.  Ahead of Tagavailoa, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams, and Jackson. Interceptions? Holy hell, Bryce has fewer interceptions than Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence and, again... Josh Allen. Does that mean I can go out and post on X that Bryce has better ball security than Allen? But wait, are some of these stats... misleading? Or might hh+jjhthey be, just a little...out of context? Ya know, it seems like they kinda are. Weird, huh 🤔
