I don't know why he doesn't have a thread already but along with Trask, if the 49ers were to draft a QB, I think he is a much more realistic option than guys like Fields and Wilson that are likely to go well before the 49ers pick. Mac Jones isn't as dynamic as Tua and he doesn't have the same ceiling but he's shown very good progress as a quarterback. He's a nice fit for a WCO or timing based passing offense, reasonably decisive and accurate, quick release, not the most mobile guy out there but able to avoid pressure adequately and he's improved his deep passing among other areas. Definitely a guy to keep an eye on. I do think his arm has more zip than Trask's and he's a little less hesitant to just let it rip but like Trask, he's also surrounded by a considerable amount of top notch talent on that offense so you wonder how much of a benefit that is providing him with overall. The Mac Jones deep ball has become one of the best plays in college football this year. pic.twitter.com/XYj6OkucLc— CBS Sports College Football 🏈 (@CBSSportsCFB) October 24, 2020Highest-graded QBs vs single-high man coverage:1?

He seems like a perfect fit for the offense. I'm not in love with him but I'd be ok

Kyle wants a QB that can run the offense efficiently and not turn the ball over which seems like Mac Jones.

Mac is going to eat in this offense if they draft him. Kyle sets the table for his QB. He just needs someone to execute. Mac won't miss those wide open throws. His field vision is too good.

Hey, CJ Beathard. You see this? This is called stepping up into the pocket after hitting the top of your drop. That's also a little intangible thing called feeling pressure.

so what's his deal?

If he's a franchise type QB why isn't he going top 10 in mocks

There's already about 4 QB's going in the Top 15 picks in most mocks. All of those guys are likely to go before Mac Jones because he isn't seen as having the same sort of upside or elite arm talent.

Yeah, his arm talent seems underrated. People be thinking it's mobile qb or bust, but that's not the only way to succeed in the NFL contrary to popular belief.

I'm a huge fan of Jimmy G but if Jimmy is throwing that ball, the receiver has to stop his momentum and come back for the ball.

That lesson can be for all of our QBs, they all suck at working the pocket and feeling pressure

Name the last great Alabama QB to translate to the NFL. Hurts is too soon. There have been some good ones. Ken Stabler, Joe Namath, and Bart Starr. I mean, granted, those dudes were pretty darn good. Is Mac Jones the next to join this list?

None of the other past Alabama QBs has any bearing on Jones success or lack thereof

Could not agree more you have to evaluate the player. By that logic Patrick Mahomes would have been a bust because no air raid QB from Texas Tech ever amounted to much in the NFL.
