I have taken s**ts that could provide more credible sports analysis than Colin f**king Cowherd.
You are missing the point. Forget about Collin Cowherd, the point is there have already been leaks that both Lynch and Peters much prefer Trey Lance. In other words, the situation that we are currently faced with is a case of Kyle Shanahan vs pretty much the entire 49ers organization, especially the front office.
The only way this potential disaster can be averted is if Jed York could intervene and override Kyle Shanahan, is really as simple as that.
Or the leaks aren't real. Not a lot of reason to believe these so called "leaks".
There are wide spread reports on the leaks. This didn't just happen now, Lynch's leak happened weeks ago and Peters' more recently.
Mike Lombardi pounded the table long ago that it was between Jones and Lance. He even doubled down on it. To date, the reporting has only gotten stronger. As for Lynch and Peter's strong preferences, they had to get it on the record for obvious reasons. We shall find out soon enough.
Other than that, you can choose what to or not to believe.
None of that is a reason to believe the so called leaks are real. If all these experts and insiders know so much about what this team is thinking, why didn't they tell us we were sniffing around a trade up before we did?
They didn't know before but they know now? Not buying it.
Did I say the media knew about the trading up? No, I didn't.
But, circumstances have changed since as Kyle Shanahan and the front office have ended up on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to Mac Jones. And if Shanahan really has the ultimate say, then it makes absolute perfect sense that either Lynch or Peters would leak it. If I were them I would leak it myself. Why would they do so? Simple, would you want your own reputation and career to be tainted by such a lame move in taking Mac Jones?!
Actually your reputation and career do become tainted by being labeled as a leaker and a guy who puts his own interests in front of the franchises. And leaking that just creates tension between the FO and Kyle.
I don't buy that either.
Nobody knows s**t about the circumstances, everyone is guessing.
Eh...you can always deny it was YOU who leaked it - you can just blame it on some other FO member. Your career is screwed if you pay 3 1st round picks for a guy and he turns out to be at best an above average QB - especially for a guy who wants to be the GM. It was def. leaked - question is - whether it was leaked to mislead or leaked to save careers.
The way it was has been reported - the very top reporters are very confident in saying that it has come down to Lance and Jones and FO wants Lance and Shanahan wants Mac Jones.
Again, maybe the 49ers leaked it with purpose of misleading. But, it's obvious it was leaked. I believe they leaked it so if Shanahan does gets his wish and drafts Mac Jones - they can say in a future interview - we didn't want him - as you can see by the reports leaked by "someone" in the FO.
