Mac was the least of our problems . We just might have ended up with the best or second best QB of this years draft !I think we found our future QB.
We have a lot to be excited for imo...
Mac has repeatedly beaten Trevor Lawrence going back to high school days. Might end up being Brady v Manning kind of career competition.Absolutely, even when we were 2-4 , I was excited for the future. Mac was the least of our problems .

I think the wrs will be fine. What he needs is an ol that wont get him killed. Thats the reason the Pats havent been able to open up their offense. This lineup played great today. Like to see em keep it. F Trent Brown. Useless. Even when he supposedly gets healthy, let him be a depth player. Onwenu has outplayed him and should stay at rt. Keep Wynn at lt. Let them roll w.the same lineup for a while and get some continuity together. Hopefully Jonnu recovers quickly. We have very good rbs. We will see big production from the tes. And Mac will keep improving. The ol is the key.Just imagine him with another year in the system and some muscle on him. Not to mention, a bona fide WR.
I'd rather Mac have a bona fide OL. Everyone looks good against the Jets. But the Chargers DL might just kill Mac if they get open runs at him like he has had to suffer in earlier games this season. Oh and he would have had a bona fide WR already if our WR drafting wasn't akin to having the 'dog' make the picks. Maybe that's what BB did? Who knows but it's a putrefying track record in New England.Just imagine him with another year in the system and some muscle on him. Not to mention, a bona fide WR.
Honestly? I think they originally moved up for Mac Jones. But they got cold feet because their 'fans' didn't like the 'optics' of drafting an 'unathletic' Quarterback that high. In other words, Shanahan gave into public perception and sold himself on the athleticism and 'upside' of Trey Lance. Boy does that look like a HUGE mistake right now.Still don’t understand why the niners pushed all their chips in when everyone knew Lance needed at least a year watching from the sidelines.
at least for this season, we should all appreciate that he's the N.E. starter, and not Zach Wilson, Trey Lance, or Justin Fields
There’s a list of teams we should thank for sure. NYJ, SF, Detroit, Carolina, Denver, Philly, Chicago.Honestly? I think they originally moved up for Mac Jones.

This PFT article sums ups the 49er's Folly nicely. All I can say is thank you Kyle Shanahan for either chickening out or making the wrong call or both. Thanks for letting Mac Jones slip all the way down to the Patriots.
Coming into today's game, even with a pass completion percentage of better than 70%, Jones had a passer rating of just under 90, and was 7:6 with TD:INT. He's been good, for a rookie. He certainly hasn't been "fantastic", and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's good, for a rookie. It's not him being "fantastic", as one poster wrote.
And that's o.k. He's a rookie. The goal, and expectation, is improvement over time, not "fantastic" out of the gate. And, as I noted,
And none of that has anything to do with "that guy in Tampa", so go rail at some clouds.
