Hope he dominates today! He needs to show how he has improved his mechanics and coaches have to figure out if that will translate to the field and improve his accuracy. His competition and accuracy are the biggest question marks - but he was 19 when he played last. That's a big difference. We saw him play 16-17 months ago - whole careers change in 12 months in college.

Why didn't he play last season? Was he hurt or was his team not allowed to play during covid

I think he was their guy from the get go.

Could be. We just don't know. Too many rumors and "my sources say tell me.." stuff going around from everyone for all three of these guys. You don't really know what to believe anymore.

If they draft Trey Lance, I bet the media will create the narrative that Lance swayed them with his pro day.

It's one way they can save face if the Niners don't pick Mac Jones...."They we're going to pick Mac Jones like we told you plebs but then Kyle Shanahan had a change of heart!"...or something along those lines.

For the record, I think Kyle has known who he's wanted since they made the trade.

I've watched everything under the sun for Mac and Fields but have certainly failed on that with Lance.

Can someone give the skinny on him as to why he hisc labeled with potentially having the highest ceiling?

LOL. That was my first guess a month ago listening to Greg Cossell. Then Mac, then Fields and now back to Lance for a hot minute.

To me Fields-Mac and 3rd is Lance. I like Fields but I can see Mac being (I'm being very optimistic here) possibly being Brady 2.0.

Most certainly. Just today is hot because of the pro day. It's what we and the media do.

I'm not seeing it. IMHO it's just media hype. You get those every year from these D2 schools. I'm not seeing this "IT" factor in him.

Probably he wanted Jones.

From an article April 2nd:

Justin Fields, Mac Jones and Trey Lance are viewed as the three signal-callers the 49ers will choose between at No. 3 overall, with Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson expected to be the first two players selected. While early whispers have tabbed Jones as the 49ers' top choice, Dan Patrick reported Thursday that he's hearing coach Kyle Shanahan and the team's personnel department have different feelings on who the pick should be.

"Yeah, I know Kyle Shanahan loves Mac," Patrick said, reading a text from a source. "Was told personnel department is still hoping to change his mind to Trey Lance. I get that Mac fits what he does, but man, I would want a lot more with that third pick."

Another source told Patrick they are hearing that Jones is the expected pick, while a third source said they believe Lance makes more sense with the 49ers' plan for 2021.

Who knows who these sources are, and if they are credible. Could still be Lance or Fields all along as well.

49ers do not put out information they don't want out there.

If they're pushing the narrative that Kyle wants Jones while the others want Lance...it likely is Fields. We'll find out in a week+

Not seeing the "IT" factor? Everybody is praising him on his arm strength, accuracy and intelligence. I don't know were your getting this not it stuff.

He plays and grasps the pro-style, play action, roll out system very well. He looks bigger than Justin Fields, although they seem to weigh the same? 227. He has deceptive speed.

Nobody knows but some people will act like they knew all along after the Niners make their pick.
