"They're obviously going to watch Justin Fields go work out again. I think they have a high opinion of Trey Lance, and I think they have a high opinion of Mac Jones. So I think they like all three."
^Bold take. Adam Schefter really sticking his neck out on this one.

I mean, technically, a healthy Jimmy IS a franchise QB.
Is this a serious post?
I can't call Jimmy a franchise QB. Love the kid, but he's played one full season and it ended with him choking in the most important game of his life lol
I wouldn't call it choking. He missed a big throw. Some could say he was rusty because we didn't use him for the previous two games.
Got his bell rung.

Agree, at least he's being paid like a franchise QB. If Mac fits his offense like Jimmy does-- and is the most developed in the traits that Kyle wants in his offense versus the rest, I'm wondering if Kyle thinks Mac can get even better with his coaching?
For example if Mac is supposedly better than all the rest in quick release, accuracy, and reading defenses, once he's drafted does he plateu in those areas or can Mac even get better? I think Kyle is arrogant (or confident) enough to think he can make Mac get even a better release, improve his accuracy to rivale Brees, and have him even process faster.
That would be how I think Kyle sees it, if he pics Mac over Fields.
