Answer is: 49ers

Vinovich or whatever the hell his name is? Should have lost his job after he screwed over the Saints...wasn't that also against the Rams? Hmmmm

usually you don't really get to see "what if we took X player instead of Y" but we are here. It was clear at the time that Mac was the most logical choice, just not an exciting one, and didn't seem to have a high "ceiling".

with hindsight, Mac should of been the player cause that roster was in "win now" mode and having such a green qb like Trey didn't make any sense, IMO.

is what it is - I'm glad to see him thriving with us.

Also both SBs against KC.

He finally in a normal situation and thriving

We're in a honeymoon with Mac because there's no tape of Mac running shanny's offense. No one knows what he likes to do what his weaknesses are and so on. That will eventually change and his numbers will adjust accordingly. But in the meantime we should take all we can from this guy. He's obviously more comfortable doing what Shanny wants which is sit seven steps in a pocket stand still and find Targets. Brock is 100% improvisor And is less comfortable playing that way. Ultimately Brocks the more effective player due to his escapability. But we should take what we can from mac and say please and thank you.

Mac is Cousins 2.0

I can see Brock on IR to make us forget he exists and roll with Mac.

Which is why he's slipped into some bad habits.

As great as Mac has played and I want the 49ers to keep him. But right now what would hurt his value is that he does seem to get injured during games leaving coaches and fans wondering if he can play the next snap. This happened in his last 2 games against AZ and LA.

The Mac Jones that we have now isn't the Mac Jones we would have got in 2021. Would everyone on here have been patient enough to wait for him to improve to his current level. I'm thinking not. I could never understand the hate for him in the first place. He comes across as a humble bloke with a nice football brain. He played terrific on Thursday night.

He came in as ready to go as any qb that year. He was a pro bowler his rookie year. He was/is tailor made for Kyles offense. He knew how to command a huddle full of pro bowlers and we could've had him at 12

It is only a short segment of the video, but at one point, referee Bill Vinovich makes the statement: "Your best play that you have in your book right now," referring to what the 49ers' offense needed to do at that moment. "Because you don't want to give Mahomes the ball back."

When the head referee is enamored with the star quarterback in the game, how do you expect him to notice anything else eg holds, PI, etc.

Ya but that will always be a problem with NFL at its core. Unless you install AI robots. Sucks for us we faced them when they were underdog darlings and Repeat Champions. You have to completely defeat the Champ in such event like the Eagles did. They tasted close defeat (questionable flag) and made sure it didnt happen again. We let them linger in the game and as it got closer into crunch time the human element of Refs came into play

I swear some of these takes are wild.

like the one poster said, we are in the honeymoon stage with Mac. Same exact stage we went through with some of our other quarterbacks.

When Jimmy G took over he was the next coming of Joe Montana. His first few seasons we were all happy we finally had a franchise QB. Then we realized his ceiling was lower than we thought and we moved on.

Same exact thing with Brock Purdy but with a higher ceiling and I'm not quite sure we know his true ceiling yet but it's better than Jimmy G.

Mac Jones has the same exact arch as Brock. Huge numbers and win after win. Everyone on here is riding his nuts just like we did with Brock but will abandon him once his true ceiling is revealed.

Heck even Nick Mullins had a couple good games.

point being is every decent QB we have has looked great at first but has eventually leveled off. Mac maybe playing better than Purdy at this particular moment but we just don't know what it will look like in the future.

Yeah. Mac loves to stand in the pocket and throw. So he has better energy being asked to do that than brock. But don't forget our line sucks and a quarterback that has no Mobility will eventually get killed as you can see. That's why the long-term solution has to be Brock with this offensive line. It's too bad Kyle won't think outside the bun and script more design plays where Brock is throwing on the Run. But that's another story.

Mac brings a lot of good things and we can ride him for more W's in the next few weeks. Especially love his no-nonsense attitude. I think the team appreciates that. Brock can learn from that instead of trying to be the nice self-deprecating guy all the time. I hope he takes notes and starts being more of a tough ass instead of being the universal do-gooder. That will be an important learning moment for Brock. Sometimes everybody plays better around you when you're a tough ass instead of oozing zero accountability and patience.

Also going to mention don't forget Jimmy G blew out his knee which had a lot to do with lowering the ceiling for him. Changed everything really is how it turned out.

Now Mac Jones ?
