5 teams Jimmy Garoppolo could turn into contenders in 2023

4. Carolina Panthers

Here’s one a little bit outside the box — the Carolina Panthers. We don’t know right now who the Panthers’ head coach will be in 2023. We don’t know what kind of offensive scheme they’re going to run.

This is also a Panthers team that no longer has Christian McCaffrey and they need to revamp the offensive weaponry in 2023.

With that being said, Jimmy Garoppolo could be the ideal quarterback to push along some of the young talent in Carolina. The Panthers have rebuilt their offensive line into something that could work in their favor in 2023. Along with that offensive line, the Panthers have a star receiver in DJ Moore.

There are some intriguing role players right now in Carolina like Laviska Shenault, Shi Smith, Terrace Marshall, and Tommy Tremble. If Carolina can add another couple of receivers into the mix and some help at the running back position?

They could be cooking with peanut oil.

Again, this is a wild card option here because we don’t know who’s going to be coaching Carolina. We’re simply looking at the pieces in place and whether or not Garoppolo could make them better or give them chances to excel at what they do best, just as we’ve seen him do in San Francisco.

But this is an option nonetheless.
