Somebody please explain to me why Ty Simpson has been mocked to the Steelers at Round 1, Pick 21, and Mac Jones is only worth a third rounder to most people...what am I missing? Isn't Jones 10x more of a sure thing than Simpson? Why wouldn't the Steelers trade the #21 directly for Jones instead of a mediocre college guy?

I would say yes but I have a feeling a lot of teams would rather go with the risk of a talented unknown and develop them from the ground up than someone they see with faults in their career. Jones also will be looking to get paid soon a rookie buys you time in that sense.

Appreciate your answer...I always wonder why many say," Love to keep him, but if someone flips us a third, he's gotta go..." He's worth way more than that to me if I have a decent team with a weak QB. If you don't agree, please tell me why you should be able to fix your QB position for a third. Sincerely curious.

A better question....would this coaching staff a decade into their regime risk missing the playoffs for a 3rd round pick knowing their starter struggles a little with availability?

We don't make the playoffs last year without Mac Jones.

We can hope they find another quality backup but what are the odds. Yes Darnold and Mac worked out but they've gone through stretches with guys like Mullins, Beathard, Dobbs, Allen and J.Johnson.

I agree and that's why Lynch said it would have to be a strong offer.

If Trent leaves they better not let Mac walk. Purdy is always got something going on and will almost guaranteed get hurt again behind this OL with no Trent

Would be more of a reason to trade him and get valuable assets to fill another hole on the roster.

Picking up another 2nd round pick (assuming it is) should give us a wider range in the draft. From deciding between Monroe Freeling to Max Iheananchor.

You can bet it's gonna be the Alex Smith deal. We always said it would be

I'd even take a 2nd and 4th round picks. As long as a 2nd round pick is included. Honestly, Mac Jones is probably the best option out there. One could argue Kyler Murray is but he's coming off of injury. Let's take a look at what's out there right now:

Anthony Richardson - no way, I'd take Mac Jones over him all day.
Kirk Cousins - He might be a tad better than Mac Jones, but he's gonna cost more than what Mac is getting @ $5 million.
Kyler Murray - Again coming off of injury and will be expensive.
Justin Fields - I wouldn't give up any picks for him, I'd take Mac Jones all day.
Tua Tagovailoa - You could call it a draw between Tua and Mac, but again he's gonna cost more than Mac.
Tyler Badgent - I wouldn't depend on him to start and end the season, I'm taking Mac.
Andy Dalton - Nope I'm not giving up picks for him either, maybe a 7th round pick.

How dare you forget my boy Trey Lance.

Rodgers, D.Jones, M.Willis, Jimmy, Flacco, R.Wilson are all F/As. Guys like A.Richardson, Z.Wilson and even possibly K.Murray will be available as reclamation projects. Today K.Cousins has been announced as being released on the first day of the new year. The QB market is not a desert this offseason.

Wow that's a whole lot of trash imo. The fact that someone is gonna pay Willis $50M tells you how s**tty the market is.

most of those names are backend bridge QBs. I would assume if you're trading anything of value for Mac it's because you think he's gonna be your starter (in hopes of it being more than this yr). Similar to what Daniel Jones did in INDY (they're gonna resign him).

Mac Jones would have been at the top of the list of trash if this exact post was made last year.

Since there's very little supply of good QBs, I hope they get into a bidding war for Mac. With all the HC changes, you bet Mac will be in high demand.

He's gonna re-sign with the Chargers to be their #3 QB. Then you have to trade three 1st round picks to get him. No thank you.

I think that's exactly what is going on right now. Mac Jones should be the first Domino to fall.
