Quarterback trade options

[Mr. Scot]

(I was tempted to use 'Will Grier' as a thread title since that seems to be a trend now, but thought better of it)

Word today that Patriot insiders are saying the team has decided not to pursue a trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. Reasons cited include everything from the 49ers stated desire to keep him (which pretty much nobody believes) to the team having spent too much money elsewhere.

With the 49ers trading up, each of the top three teams in the Draft now has a previous starter that looks to be on the block. Gardner Minshew (Jaguars) Sam Darnold (Jets) and Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers).

So if the Panthers were to decide on a veteran trade, which of these three would you make a case for?

(no, Deshaun Watson isn't an option; don't bother going there)

Also, I think they know that SF will cut him, and feel that he will return to the beginning for free.

[Ja Rhule]

Darnold.  He had no chance behind that awful Jets OL.  Wilson will have the same faith.

[Waldo]

No, just wait till they are cut after the draft. I just don't see the need to trade for anything out there if the result is the same, us still needing a starter QB. Just get it for free and not waste any resources. 

[Thompcat]

I still think that Darnold has potential and if we go this route he would be worth a shot.

[MHS831]

Minshew.

Last season, on a team in full tank mode, in 9 games Minshew completed 66% of his passes and had 15 TDs vs 6 Ints.  He won a game.  The year before, he was 6-6 on that terrible team and threw 21 TDs vs. 6 ints. 

Give him some time and some weapons.  Jake Delhomme II?

[Varking]

Minshew has performed with a bad oline and minimal receiver talent. If he can throw 21:6 as a rookie with that surrounding cast I’d love to see what he could do with CMC, DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson. Jimmy G had Kittle. Darnold had Robbie. Teddy sucks. 
 

Minshew has the highest probability of being above average for minimal cost. 

[Untouchable]

Minshew and Garoppolo do not offer any traits that we currently don't get from our starter and I see no point in sinking more cap/draft capital to make a move for a lateral.

If I'm taking a chance on one it has to be Darnold. He's the youngest and has upgraded arm talent compared to Teddy that you're hoping to develop.

[Verge]

Nathan Peterman so we don't have this discussion again next year. 

[45catfan]

If we strike out in the draft we will have to trade for someone's backup or stick with Teddy.  I think it's a bad idea to chase a stater on another team.  There's too much money and draft capital to squander going that route.

[Ja Rhule]

In 2021 we should change name to Carolina raccoons cause we digging thru other team’s trash.

[ForJimmy]

Rodney Peete.

I prefer "the 'possums" because they are more fierce and intimidating. Plus they are true scavengers; whereas raccoons have some threshold of tolerance.  There's certain things they won't even touch.  'Possums? They'll go after just about anything.
