I fully believe Shannahan sees Fields as the guy and is just happy to let everyone think it's Jones.
He said there are 3 QBs he's comfortable with. They asked him if he's comfortable with Fields at the elite level and he said yes.
They asked him about Jones and he went on about expanding that list to 4 or 5.
How anyone could have listened to that and come out with Jones is the 3rd guy is beyond me.
Because there's no story there. Lawrence to the Jags is obvious. They have made Wilson to the Jets an automatic even though to the best of my knowledge, they have revealed nothing. The idea of a top QB talent coming to a team this good is really unheard of. The closest parallel I can make is James Worthy being drafted by the World Champion Lakers at number 2 overall. We obviously aren't world champions, but are a year away for competing from the Super Bowl and did pretty well to finish 6-10 considering all of the injuries.

Honestly, he reminds me more of Young, but obviously right handed.
Like we've been saying. We believe this kid can be coached and the idea is Kyle is that coach. He will turn this kid in a monster. The sky really is the limit.
This is exactly what I see. I'm envisioning the 1992-1994 49ers. A guy that will consistently put up 4000+ yards of offense and can give 300-500 on the ground.
Yes. And people forget this, but I fully expect them to sit him for the first year and ride with Jimmy as he said. (Who we hope stays healthy and balls out!)
It's a dream scenario for a young QB. As much as he may hate not playing as Kuke said, he's not getting tossed into the fire prematurely.

I honestly have always loved how Bill Walsh brought Montana along. Deliberately inserting him into situations where he could be successful and building up that confidence. It would be great if fans and teams had more patience for that approach.

Agree. I can see Fields being brought in just to have that QB mobility on certain RPO plays and taking Jimmy out for that reason. I agree, Feilds is very similar to Steve Young from that athleticism point of view.

If Shanahan passes on Fields it says more about him than it does about Fields or his ability.

Someone explain to me the backlash orlavsky is recieving? He was asked why fields may be dropping. He said he heard from some teams that his work ethic may be in question. That's basically all he said. Now people are mad at him. I'm so confused.

He's similar in size too. A little bigger but then all players are bigger now so relative to the guys he'll be facing. Steve isn't as fast but he was fast during his era. He was also pretty elusive.

Steve was a great running back, just watch the youtube 50+ yard scramble vs the number 1 ranked Vikings defense. But as a QB he was hall of fame accurate and could throw any pass asked of him. If Fields is half of Steve Young then add Kyle into the mix (versus George Seifert trade Haley for pea pea nuts) you have the potential of 7 super bowl wins if he can play till he's 45.

Because he went on to say that those rumors were never verified. He literally just threw b******t into the ether and reported it as news. He did it to a kid who, from all indication has amazing character and toughness. Meanwhile, theres a guy who's out of shape with a DUI whose character is never questioned.
The whole thing screams of sloppy reporting and in today's society seems to be a dog whistle for racism.

Damned if he do. Damned if he don't. If he was asked why Fields was dropping and he didn't answer the question because it wasn't verified you'd be claiming racism still.

I don't need to watch the youtube . I was there. I also did the voice over for that play at the Niners museum. They have an interactive deal where you can pick from several plays and become the announcer. Then they send a copy to your computer at home. Really cool. Aside from the Catch, that was one of my favorite plays ever. I put it right up there with Garrison Hearst's overtime TD run against the Jets, Owens' TD catch and a bomb from Montana to Rice in the 2nd half comeback against the Eagles. Oh, I forgot the 2 John Taylor 90+ yard TDs against the Rams.
seadderall fans wish they had half our history!

He may be leaning towards one of the QBs, but no decision has been irrevocably made at this point. I think he's having trouble deciding between Fields and Mac-- that's why he needed a whole month to figure it out. Hence the trade ONE whole month before the draft to make sure he doesn't do another Solomon/Pettis mistake.
I think trying to hide there intentions by not do too many interviews with players they were drafting might have hurt them in the past. (Example possibly Pettis).
