I wonder if they want a used Dobbs...

Didn't Kyle Shanahan originally want to draft Mac. Guess he gets to see what it would've been like if he did.

Imagine if Mac wins and the Pats start 0-2

I find it interesting that Shanahan has Jones (and his team) in this position. No matter what a dumb fan like me thinks about Jones - weak of head and arm, in that order - I can’t see Shanahan having him as the QB2 without damn good reasons. I don’t hate the kid by any means, hope it works out for them but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Need to adjust my Sportsbook wagers. . .

He was 2-5 last year. 2 of the loses were in his first 2 games against Minnesota and Detroit where he played bad, but it was against 2 very good teams.

So 2-3(one loss in OT) against non-elite teams, while putting up passable stats, isn't the worst backup QB you can have.

Basically $3mil* per game to recover for Mr Irrel. Dude's set.

*Yes I know that's not what Spotrac says... just take that thing out of your you know what.

Let's see if Mac can capitalize on the opportunity. I think he's going to struggle just like Purdy did last season and in week 1. WR's are mediocre and Kittle taps out way too much.

 

[borisman]

I still think they beat the Saints, even on the road, without Purdy. But my OVER 10 wins for San Fran is in serious jeopardy.

Holy ****. I'm betting the house on Spencer Rattler

49ers' Mac Jones looks like perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan's offense while filling in for injured Brock Purdy

Jones lost his way in New England but looked like Alabama Mac in San Francisco debut

I'm pretty sure if Mac had those stacked 49ers rosters from 2 or 3 years ago he would achieve the same results as Purdy, if not better.

Wait, are you suggesting that football is a team sport and the talent around the QB matters?

Wozzy, your work here is done.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Mac will turtle. He is good for a game or two, and then turtles. It will not change.

 

[mike_usagisan]

Happy for him. But I'm usually happy for any former Pats on their future teams as long as they don't affect the Pats in any way.

 

[yukon cornelius]

would love to see him take the job away from Purdy, TBH

 

[sb1]

The Bill cult changed their mind and now they think Bill should get credit for drafting Mac Jones.

Holy ****. I'm betting the house on Spencer Rattler

Do you want to talk about it?

Do we need to start a go fund me?
