You definitely seem to have one.

Lmfao. Last I checked I wasn't comparing myself to pro scouts. Nice try though, we have years of receipts from you 🤣

I don't think the draft pick we would receive would be worth anything, 5th-6th round pick maybe?

Entirely depends on the situation. I think we could finesse a second rounder or so if it's the right team. Imagine how bad the bengals wish they had a Mac jones rn? All that money spent and don't have decent qb play since burrow went down.

id rather not trade Mac though, at least not this season. Let's see how things play out and what the options are in the off season.

He's much more valuable than a 2nd round pick rn. He's saved our season so far. If we had a normal backup qb - we would most likely be 1-4 rn.

2009 Matt Scahub is what Macs is. Thats a solid NFL QB. Can win a lot with that.

Zero chance they trade him in season. If he's getting moved it's in the offseason.

mac jones at the end

Yup. And probably not even in the offseason. Brock has been dinged up last season also, so we probably keep a good backup.

Yeah it would be dumb to trade him or for him, he wouldn't know the system. I hope we keep him. He had playing incentives so he's making much more than 7 mil

2 things.
First. I think they need to decide who is the guy going into future seasons, and trade the other in the offseason.

Second. Every single agent and QB will take notice. Sign with SF as a backup, improve, then get paid.

Mac won a lot of hearts last night. Grit and guts! Yeah!!!
He was reading the field and getting the ball out quick and accurately. AND, playing through obvious pain. Those calf cramps freakin' suck (I think most of us have felt those, yeah?)!

I can't help but have a cynical thought, though. Had Purdy had a similar game... I think many (some here, but many in the media) would have simply compared it to a Jimmy G-like performance. Short passes, under 10 air yards, letting the players make the plays for him. That kind of thing. Perspective is a funny thing.

Based on some of the recent conversations I've seen in the Purdy thread alone, I'd agree.

But throwing short passes wasn't really Jimmy's problem. It was forcing balls into coverage, whether short or intermediate routes, predetermining throws, and leaving big plays on the field within the structure of the offense. And of course he was made of glass.

Last night, against that defense, it made sense to get it out quick as possible and take what the defense gave them. That pass rush is no joke.

Oh yeah, fully agree. They are relentless. Made me jealous when I saw Stafford chill back there.

I'm glad we have Mac. He executed that gameplan very well. Quick, decisive, and accurate. Bad ass! I just hope that knee is ok.
