- Because of Mullens and Beathard not being able to win with the same team Jimmy won with, Kyle stressed how important it is for a QB to overcome situations that are not ideal. These 2 were not able to overcome and help us win when things didn't work perfect.
- Ever since last season was over, Kyle has stressed only QB's that can extend plays. He has ONLY mentioned the Josh Allens, Patrick Mahomes, and Deshawn Watsons.
- Kyle has repeatedly mentioned the QB should execute the play as called but it is nice to have one that can do more if needed.
- SF were involved in trying to acquire Watson but were not going to give up too much draft capital AND $$ because we already had Jimmy.
- There was absolutely zero Mac Jones hype before we traded to #3. They hype only started when the Kirk Cousins comparisons started.
- Drafting Mac Jones means we absolutely cannot sustain any injury to our OL.
The entire goal was to have a QB that can overcome an imperfect situation. We heavily rely on Jimmy to win games. Without Jimmy, we don't win. Jimmy heavily relies on staying healthy in order to win. He can actually still win if a few players are injured around him or if he doesn't have the best talent at WR.
The Mac Jones pick goes against everything Kyle has said prior to us trading for the #1 pick.
Someone said in another thread that it was reported that it's actually Lance who Kyle loves, not Mac. That would be interesting. We need a guy who can be a superstar. Not a guy who's similar to Jimmy.
The big thing that concerns me is that Kyle has a habit of taking risks at the worst times. He has risky decisions that resulted in 2 SuperBowl losses to show for it.
In the beginning of this thread, I graded Mac above both Fields and Lance. To me, he did things throwing the ball that the other guys simply did not do. If he had a stronger arm, he would easily be the top guy among the 3. BUT, if Lance had gotten a whole season, it could've been him being my top guy at that spot. Just didn't get to see enough to really say.
Kyle I think is going with what he has seen versus just projecting. If we pick Mac and trade Jimmy, are we gonna use that money this year on someone?
