The only thing that truly keeps me from plunging head first into the Lance thing (and I do also think that he's the most likely selection) is that they have never seen him throw live. Like not at all. Not even at his pro day lol. I've seriously never heard of that. None of their decision makers. No shanny. No Lynch. No Peters.

At least 5 or 6 people I have seen peg this as to get Mac Jones. I get it, and I wouldn't remove him from the equation for sure, but seems really weird to make this move for a guy with no elite traits or anything. He'll be successful with Shanny, I do think that is true...but I think you're leaving a lot on the table with that selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only I will rule out is Fields since he just doesn't fit at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he looks bad maybe, but then who would trade for him at that point? Tell that to Jim Harbaugh, Alex Smith, and Andy Reid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are leaving a lot of potential on the table for sure, but I think this could feasibly go back to how disconnected fans often are from actual NFL boards. I have this weird feeling Mac is considered top-8 at worst on many boards, while guys like Fields and Lance are going to be in wildly different places on team's boards.

Yeah, that's why I won't remove him from the equation. And it's not like he'd be the first guy that was drafted that without really having elite traits. I never thought there was anything elite about Matt Ryan's physical toolkit, for example. Combine that with Shanny's need to go get his guy at any cost, and I can totally see it.

49ersfan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) My prediction on the QB carousel 1. Jags - Lawrence 2. Jets - Wilson 3. 49ers - Lance (trade up) 4. Broncos - Fields (trade up) 5. Panthers - Jones (trade up) Pats trade for Jimmy. Niners trade a 5th or so for Minshew to be the backup, or opening day starter while Lance sits for a few games (i don't think he'll sit all year). With Carolina trading up, Bridgewater probably leaves. I'll predict KC to backup Mahomes Could see the Steelers, Colts, Texans interested in developmental QB's like Trask, Mond, or Mills. Also, all this talk of Darnold being worth a 2nd etc seems purely media driven to raise his value. I'm going to guess he goes for a 4th or 5th. Maybe Seattle as a backup & insurance in case Wilson is traded next offseason? Bears roll with Dalton & Foles, WFT rolls with Fitz & Heinecke Edited March 27, 2021 by 49ersfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals are known for never really trading picks aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hurt a few games in, and wasn't traded before the deadline when Colin took his job away. So this comparison doesn't work. I can't think of a team that was winning approaching the trade deadline, quality starter gets hurt, backup comes in and plays well if not better, and then the team trades away the starting QB before the trade deadline.

SkippyX Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 So the 49ers permanently benched an Alex Smith with a minor injury right after he went 25-27 92.6% 304 yards 4 TDs 0 picks and a 150+ rating in his last 2 games. They later moved on from him to KC for the younger model. Are you hung up on the notion that a team might trade its 26.4 million dollar backup QB in-season? Or is the bit about Jimmy already having experience with the Patriots the tough part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miami would almost certainly not take Mac as they have waved that with the trade down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I won’t deny the possibility, the Colts have a developmental QB in Jacob Eason. It’s more likely they bring in a vet QB to either push Eason, or if the PS rules remain adjusted like 2020 they could carry 3 QBs or hide a protected vet QB on the PS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more likely Carolina trades up to get their guy, though. If it was any team but ATL, I could see it happening, but that's the only reason why they're not being penciled at 1.4 IMO.
