Only team that I think would trade anything remotely close to what the team wants for MAC, are the Vikings. Idk if they'd do that though but it's a team that would make sense to upgrade at the QB position this year. I doubt the Niners would trade Mac there knowing both teams are on a collision course for the playoffs.

i think Mac will ultimately stay with us and leave to Minnesota in the off season.

Agree 💯 % that they aren't trading Mac. Unless they think Kurtis has made tremendous progress in practice. If they wanted to trade Mac, it would have been before or during the 2026 draft, where I think they got some decent draft offers, but none that wow'ed them.

There's been QB injuries around the NFL, but they still wanted too much draft capital to part with Mac, so I doubt Mac is leaving us this year. His destination is to a Kyle Shanahan HC disciple in the 2027 offseason.

today's steve young would back up rourke too, ppl get old,, father time only has that one loss, tom brady

You must have missed Aaron Rodgers. Jimmy is only 34. With a good surrounding supporting cast, Jimmy can still be a good QB. Even multiple pick Sam Darnold won a superbowl - but he had a top flight defense to help him and a good strong run game. There's nobody out there like Brock, so if we lose Brock, its still not a certainty that the 49ers can win a championship with Mac Jones either. To me both Jimmy, Sam Darnold, and Mac Jones are kind of at the same QB talent level, with Mac Jones being the youngest and with still high upside.
