Panthers beat writer believes Carolina drafting a QB is a smokescreen, and there’s interest in Jimmy G.

Trade talks surrounding 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo came to a screeching halt once teams learned he wouldn’t be able to throw until the summer.

We’re a couple of weeks away from the NFL Draft, where a couple of teams still must decide whether they’ll hand the keys to a rookie signal-caller in an underwhelming quarterback class.

The Carolina Panthers are Jimmy’s best bet to land a starting gig in 2022. Matt Rhule has swung and missed with each opportunity at quarterback as a head coach. He gave Teddy Bridgewater a $63 million contract, then traded him away for a sixth-round pick.
