And for the most part when then they went scheme fit over talent (and reached in the process).

it's been a disaster.

Mac was not a hooper nor was he a track athlete. Joe Montana has amongst the top ten amongst NFL QBs during his day in terms of athleticism. Joe would move like Aaron Rodgers did in his prime today in fact

I don't mind him being boring. What I mind is that we could have done a draft deal deal and got this dude for a lot lees in draft pick compensation. I know we can't be this stupid to do what no other team has done and give up all this to draft Mac. I am good with Mac but only at market rate. I am not OK with overpaying for him

I wasn't good at 12 with Mac. He's simply not that talented. He's been pumped up like nothing I've ever seen...I mean if SF doesn't take him, who's drafting him? Dude could slip out of the top 15 imo.

run blockers aren't gonna help this guy

Depends on context, but yeah, in Shanahan's offense, no one gets credit besides Shanahan anyway. Jimmy went through this crap when he only threw 8 passes in the playoffs. This is part of the deal

A good run game will help out a ton. There's a reason we had the #2 offense with Jimmy.

Agree, Kyle's version of the WCO is more run heavy than other WCO precision timing offenses. Thats why I'm not too concerned with Macs supposed lack of Athleticism.

Let's be real man. If Mac underwhelms, the fans will point to the o-line as their first scapegoat. That's usually the story.

He's a great run blocker, so so pass blocker but the main point is if he does go we'll address it. Shanny does prioritize the line.

I think "so so" is putting it a bit lightly. McGlinchey is going to get a QB killed one day, hopefully it isn't a 49ers QB.

Agreed Joe was by far more athletic. Dude made off platform throws. He could go off script. Jones is Andy Dalton more than he will ever be Joe or Brady and it's down right disrespectful to even talk about him with them.

If we take him at #3, I'll never believe he wouldn't have been there at #12 unless some other team straight up says they absolutely were going to take him before then. Never. Zero chance. We gave up 2 first rounders and a third for nothing. We've mocked the Rams and Seahawks for trading their first rounders like candy, but at least they got something for them.

Bottom line, if they end up spending 3 1sts and a 3rd to draft Mac it tells me they think he's a franchise changing QB...a QB so special that they didn't think they could afford to miss out on him.

I don't see that level of talent but it is what it is...

This guy is already a hall of famer lol

You and I both know it's doomed. Another 5 years down the s**tter and wasting how many careers in the process? Insanity if they pick Jones.

In on Page 897 of legendary Mac Jones thread. Only 103 more pages to go and the 49ers draft Jones and Najee Harris.

Mac's a lot more like Joe in that he has that pocket escapability if things break down. Joe is a bit more mobile than Mac, but Walsh's offense is more pass heavy than Kyle's. A good strong run game (because of Kyle's genius in finding starting caliber RBs from the Cosco's part time employment board) helps offset Mac's lack of athleticism.

Jones reminds me of Jamie's Winston.

Imagine if Mac is drafted and his thread might have as many pages as Jimmys thread by the first regular season game!

I don't think Mac gets enough credit for his pocket savvy. The few times I saw him under pressure in the film he is really good at sliding around and flowing with his receivers downfield. That's something Jimmy lacked.

if he's a better version of Jimmy: more accurate, better deep ball, better pocket skills - that's like a top 10 QB right there
