I don't think it's silly especially since the Jets' staff used to be Shanahan's staff. I also think it's important to address the QB who'd become available to the 49ers in such a scenario: Zach Wilson.

The assumption is that Kyle would take Wilson over Jones. The reality is that unless the Jets or the Jags take Jones, our pick is going to be Mac Jones.

TBH unless this kid has an exceptional and rare intestinal fortitude and resolve, he will bust if drafted by the 49ers imo. The controversy of him being the pick by all the fans, talking heads and media will place such undue expectations on him that I can't see him possibly living up to unless he is a truly generational QB. I will feel really bad for him. Poor kid.
I guarantee if he is a niner and dots a 30 yard pass to kittle for a TD people will shut their trap. I think we're waiting too long on this pick and even longer once the summer rolls on. I'll give the kid a chance to see what hes got. Can't dismiss the pick before he ever plays. I'll be disappointed if he's the pick but I'll give him a chance.

I will say, we definitely took all the O2 in the offseason / draft buzz. Man, this draft lead-up is nuts.

Any evidence the only reason he wasn't kicked off the team was his teammates rallying around him?
Teammates saying they thought Jones was a better QB than Tua after Tua has already been drafted literally means nothing. Just like the Bosas saying Nick is better than Joey before his draft, or that Seth is a better shooter than Steph. People close to two people in a situation like that are always going to use it to hype up the one about to be drafted. Do you really think Lavar thought that Liangelo was actually better than Lonzo?
Also here's a quote about Josh Rosen from his UCLA teammate right before the draft,
"The media puts out what they put out, and his teammates dispute everything the media puts out," Quessenberry said. "I said it before, I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it until the end of my days: I love Josh Rosen, and I hope I get to play with him at the next level."
Heck even Johnny Manziel's teammates in college said good things about him going into the draft, while at Texas A&M knowing what we know no he would have already been an alcoholic with a serious coke habit.
No teammate is going to say anything but good things about someone going into the draft. That doesn't mean we should take it at face value just because, "his teammates love Mac Jones".

I support and root for all 49ers, whether I wanted them on the team or not (I call Sherm Uncle Sherm and absolutely haaaaaaaated that signing). He will constantly be compared to Fields and Lance. His own success isn't even fully tied to what he does, it is now tied to what other players do as well because Kyle went SOOOO far up when he obviously (again according to just about any and everyone) didn't have to.

Yeah, crazy times. I'm glad I'm not locked in on one guy because I'd probably have gone bat s**t crazy by now.

Thats the case for everybody. Wilson and Lawrence will have that same pressure.

"Theory"
All of this talk about Shanahan just wanting a guy who will run his offense and his plays as they're designed and people still think he'd go for the guy that went off-script more than any of the other top 5 QBs.
