Would Jeff Garcia be a good fit in Carolina?

Garcia is a WCO QB and would be a very bad fit here.

agreed here. he's a decent system QB. his age is showing and his body is getting beat up. he won't last a whole lot longer.

i do think that he actually gives the raiders the best chance at winning this year, fwiw.

I have always liked Garcia, but I think the Panthers need to be looking long term at QB...I don't think QB is a position you want to have a couple of guys in their last seasons, one is OK, but not two. I'd probably prefer they spent a year on Marvin Harrison...at least he would have more of a chance of getting on the field and making an impact.

I thought the Raiders were a vertical attack team anyway. With all there speed at WR it would seem that way. Then again the change Coaches like every year so I could be wrong. Garcia dose not have the arm to be in any other system except WC.

He has failed big time every time he has played in a system other than the WCO. Plus Testeverde can throw the ball longer than him.

Exactly.

Then again, if that's the case, why did the Raiders sign him? Hoping to go with an offense like in the days of Rich Gannon? :confused:

    • I'm absolutely amazed at how many people actually think this was a great move. Like did y'all just become Panthers fans yesterday? When has re-signing a RB to a big money contract ever worked out for this franchise? DeAngelo Williams? Jonathan Stewart? Christian McCaffrey? All of those re-signings were mistakes. Giving a RB big money has a terrible track record of ROI, period. It's a draft 'em and let 'em walk position. A big part of the Panthers' roster management issues over the years and a big part of why we have historically been inconsistent before finding our consistency as perennial cellar dwellers under Tepper is because we have always fundamentally struggled to understand positional value. We have always tied up far too many premium resources be it cap space or draft picks in non-premium positions. We currently have a ton of money tied up in RBs and interior OL. The doom cycle just keeps repeating.
    • To demand more money you have to have suitors. What other franchise is overpaying for RBs?   Henry/Barkley were both free and had limited suitors. The position isn't that valuable in the grand scheme of things.    
    • 1) Still young at 25. Good contract for the production, especially at only 15 million guaranteed. 2) Investing in a core offensive identity. An elite running back corps is a force multiplier with our upgraded interior line.  3) Acknowledging performance and retaining developed talent sets an important precedent for a young, rebuilding team. 4) This “devaluation” of running backs perspective seems to be waning. Setting aside the Chiefs and their hall of fame coach/QB/TE combo, the tops teams have all invested in RBs, many of which were free agents. Lions with a contract to Montgomery and first round Ghibbs. Ravens sign Henry. Eagles sign Barkley. Vikings sign Jones. Packers sign Jacobs. Commanders sign Ekeler. Texans sign Mixon. Bills have their second rounder Cook who filled in after 3rd rounder Moss was underwhelming (who the Bengals then signed this offseason but is hurt). The niners moved for CMC. Steelers Harris was a first rounder. Falcons have Bijan playing well.
