I think the two things we know for sure about Mac Jones in the eyes of NFL decision makers is that:
1) The Patriots liked Mac Jones, which is why they drafted him. They didn't love Mac Jones or they would've packaged something to move up a few spots - especially after Fields went at 11 and QB needy teams in the teens / twenties at risk to move up. Almost no one projected him to last to 15 and teams don't haphazardly chance it when it comes to missing out on YOUR franchise qb.
2) No team with a remote QB need LOVED Mac Jones. He simply wouldn't have fallen to 15 if that was the case - a team picking ahead would've taken him over a different position player or team picking behind would've packaged either a 2 or future 1 to move up.

Do you think it's one or the other? Lol. We got the smartest QB in the draft who is extremely athletic with an incredible arm. Glad settle for a middling physical talent just because he likes studying (which I grant he has to make up for lack of everything else with the mental side)

Ok. Still doesn't change what I responded to. You said "physically elite" which none of those guys are.

Yes I get it. We have the perfect specimen of a qb. He will win 18 superbowls. We are not worthy.
Can we watch him develop first. It's pretty pathetic that the fan base had already anointed him the next Jesus Christ.

Sounds like you are upset we didn't get an unathletic, average armed QB at 3.... I'm not sure why though? Skipping on Mac at 3 and taking someone with great potential is a positive. It's ok to be excited!

It's ok to be excited. It's not ok to have these unrealistic expectations. If he's the next mahommes great.but saying he's the smartest most athletic qb sets him up to unattainable standards.

Calm down. There will be plenty of time for doubt. Maybe let 49ers fans enjoy the moment, it being off-season after all?

That's the thing right there. If Bill loved Jones so much why didn't he trade up to make sure he got him? Even the fans knew the Giants might trade out of the 11 spot once they lost out on Smith, So I assume Bill must have thought that also. And then the Vikings 1 spot ahead of Pats decided to trade down. It was like Bill was saying if Mac is still there, Great. But if he isn't, no big deal.
