McVay said Goof can't do progressions, and he wanted Matt Stanford. The Rams went out and made it happen.
Kyle (presumably plus) wants Mac Jones. We just gave Kyle a contract extension. Lynch has final say. What do we do?
If you say no, and draft Lance or anybody else, after every loss, it's "well, he can't do what I asked. It's not My fault. I Told You So. It's Your fault."
The Shanahans were forced out of Washington because they didn't want to play RGIII (whom they made Rookie of the Year, with an offense they Knew couldn't take them far), and Did want to play a 4th round Cousins.
Kyle begged for permission to get out of his contract early to leave Cleveland, when they drafted Johnny Football Manziel. He got it.
Kyle Shanahan is GONE if you force a player on him that can't run his offense.
I know, there are M A N Y fools on this board with the hubris to value Their Pick at quarterback over retaining the smartest coach in the league. Do that, and we ain't Never seeing a Lombardi again in decades. Kyle made RGIII Rookie of the year, and Matt Ryan the NFL Offensive Player of the Year and the Most Valuable Player, and he took this horrible crappy team to the Super Bowl in his third year, and I'll lay odds he'll make Mac Jones Rookie of the Year this year. But NO. You guys know best.
"Beam me up, Scotty. There is no intelligent life down here."
I can't wait to start picking apart this league with Intelligence. That's how we got the first 5 Lombardi's, and it's how we'll get the next 5. Or not.
I never thought of that point above. Very good point! I think if Lynch picks the QB, other than it being a really bad idea, it would probably break their friendship and relationship and that won't ever heal again.
Why did KS go out of his way to say he feels there's 5 guys? If he believes there's 5 there shouldn't be a problem as long as its one of those 5, right? He didn't have to say that. He could've easily said 3
At #3, there's (obviously) three QB's that can be taken in any number of ways, and on top of that, at #3 (if Lawrence and Zach are taken) there are going to be three that everybody thinks can run Kyle's system (Mac, Fields, Lance) Mond/Mills etc... are lower tier athletes that aren't in the class of Mac/Fields/Lance (according to a lot of opinions) so 2+3 = 5.
Having said that, the more confusing he makes it, the better for him - or so he says - because it doesn't tell anything to the rest of the NFL, and even to the first guys who are picking (Jags and Jets). I'm sure that both Jags and Jets are listening to what Kyle says - and so what the Jags and Jets are saying too. I'm betting Urban was either forced to look more closely at Fields and the other QB's or was impelled to do so because of what Kyle said or did. Same with the Jets. There is a very very very slim chance that Zach comes to the 49ers because the Jets take Fields. (Very slim chance) But why not try to help that a little bit by saying stuff that might entice the two above him to possibly to do so.
