I can't see a toe keeping him out… unless it's turf toe but I feel like we'd know if it's turf toe.

The toe one worries me much more than the non throwing shoulder. If he does play, and he has unusually errant throws - we know that toe is messed up.

I almost want to say we should rest him but that's a tough call. Maybe Mac would play well enough for us to win?

I just don't want the toe injury to get worse cause those can be a nightmare - depending on the type of injury and severity

Unfortunately there's nothing unusual about the errant throws. It plagued him (and us ) last year costing a few games. The question is: Is this due to injuries or poor mechanics/decision making? If the latter, why wasn't it addressed in the entire off season?? Either way, if he can't go on Sunday and Jones plays lights out we could be looking at a divided locker room and fan base

Jones? Dividing the locker room?
Get serious.

You did notice the "if" right? Right?

The toe injury is much more concerning. You can't plant and throw with good mechanics. You can't scramble around to buy time and do off schedule plays. The more you run around on it the more sore it gets. It keeps getting irritated. A sore shoulder which is his opposite of the throwing shoulder is not a big deal.

If Mac dominates the Saints all that says to me is the Saints are terrible.

If it were turf toe then I think we'd know about it by now. I think he plays

There is no more "if" after signing him long term. This is his team for the foreseeable future.

I'm not sure if you noticed but every QB in the history of mankind makes errant throws. I don't think Brock has been "plagued" by errant throws. Seems to throw just as many interceptions then the next guy. Especially if you look at the QBs not name Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes.

And to say you'll have a divided locker room and fanbase IF Mac Jones plays lights out? Are you just going to ignore his history of errant throws? Got him run out of 2 franchises so far. But by golly if Brock makes an errant throw its off with his head!!!

Jones will get murdered behind this OL. Expect sacks and at least 2 INTs.

Is it turf toe or not?

i hate this take. the OL did great week 1. brock had plenty of time to throw, look at the final play as an example. everyone covered, but the OL has everyone walled off also. brock can take time, extend to his right and make the GW throw. he had like 8 seconds; an eternity in pro football. bunch of drop backs week 1 with an entirely clean pocket, brock barely got touched i think he was sacked 1 time.

He also didn't let an OL butt knock the ball out of his hand to lose the game.

i credit bosa for doing work. i posted on this one yesterday. QB needs to keep eyes downfield, while feeling the rush, and some do it better than others. darnold seems oblivious, mac i am not generally impressed with, brock is extreme high level at feeling the rush and avoiding. so if we wanna say mac being a statue is gonna cause problems, that may be true, if he needs to play, brock's athleticism can get him out of some jams, but speaking on OL i saw good OL play. QB was holding the ball cuz we simply don't have our weapons healthy. see that final play again as an example, no one got separation.

I think your underestimating how absolute trash brendel is in the middle. It may look like he's holding his man but he frequently gets pushed back into the QBs step up lane. Then brock throws it high and easy to pick because he can't properly step up. This happens all game.

There's a lot of factors that really make it difficult for any 49ers QB. With moody not able to kick fgs it forces you to go more aggressive on every part of the field.

IE you have to pass in situations you might try a run which lets them tee off more on defensive on pass rush.the other teams know this.

Then you add in no healthy good weapons, and more than that the fact that the veterans are so favored they eat all the practice/game snaps of the young guys. This means the timing throws are off in game with the younger guys.

Then the whole long time to get the plays in from the sideline and no play changes at the line.

It's just a lot of factors that make it harder.

That design rollout from brock where he has an open field in front of him to his right is his best play. We don't run it near enough.

We don't throw enough screens or practice then enough.

I agree. lol Mac won't cause a divide and Mac would most likely get obliterated by this o line, assuming they stay consistent. Lol

brock doesn't have an issue with errant throws. Idk why a poster said that. Maybe our backup skill guys have a history of not being where they're supposed to be and it looks like an errant throw? There are so many variables at play that we don't actually know what's Brock's fault or someone else.

Takes 11 men doing what they're supposed to for a play to work properly. Of course Brock has made bad decisions/throws before - everyone has. I think he's far from "plagued" though. Lol
