Right before they're supposed to anoint Lance. Who could be a 6-11 for them given what we've seen of him. Just like every first rounder not named Mac Jones.
That was stupid not to pick Jones, right?[/quote]
Guaranteed if the Niners had picked Jones, it would have been nonstop Jimmy G 2.0 clone comments in here. The only upside would have been youth and cap space. Then the narrative here would have been "Shanahan better win quick before he becomes expensive, and then the game manager will be limiting". :roll:
Let me ask you, who is the better QB, Geno Smith or Jimmy Garoppolo? Serious question.
Next year when Garoppolo is somewhere else, probably in a good situation and playing well, he will somehow someway magically be "good" in the eyes of many on here. :roll:
Bottom line is Mac Jones isn't Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert, and never will be. Lance has a possible chance of being someone special based on the physical traits. You draft for that possibility, you don't draft scared. This is the modern NFL we're talking about, built for the Mahomes, Watson types.
49er fans after the Kaepernick experience are cautiously optimistic about every QB who enters the building. Very few homers that are so certain he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.
Try to look at the kid with some level of objectivity.
Selective memory must be a wonderful thing.
Always cracks me up how you have to resort to an entirely different group of people on a different website is the only argument you can make. It's as if fans of EVERY team don't get overhyped.
Did anyone here say that?
If not, who cares. Would be nice to have the points we actually make here be the ones that get argued.
