A lot of guys over here are in love with Chris Simms who went all in for Mac Jones. So now they feel tied to him and praise him whenever he makes an average NFL throw.

I can understand Niner fans being split between Lance and Fields but Mac Jones? really? After watching Jimmy for the past couple years and absolutely wanting nothing to do with Kirk Cousins and yet there are alot of fans who wanted Mac Jones who has a similar style to them and similar ceiling. I mean how could you be so against Cousins but then want Kyle to draft Mac Jones? The Mac fanboys raving about these pocket throws from Jones in these 2 pre-season game, You know who else makes these type of throws? Cousins.

Cousins does not move like that in the pocket. That guy is a sack machine. It's not just about throws and velocity.

Exactly. I'm not downplaying Jones' ability to play quarterback at this level, especially with Belichick backing him. But I don't think he'll ever be elite, or even considered a top 16 guy.

You know who else is never considered a top 16 guy yet has been top 10 in nearly every statistical category the past few years? Kirk Cousins.

Thats Macs ceiling: exactly what you get from cousins. Nothing necessarily "wrong" with that, I think cousins is an ok player but nothing elite and will never be playing in late January
When you need 17 plays to score I don't like your chances. Too much dinking and dunking.

Jose, I wouldn't try talking football with those two or frenchmov, it's like me trying to discuss prime #s with Terry Tao.

Mac Jones has faced 3rd and 4th stringers lol. Calm down, if your boy does it when bullets are real I'll give him his props.

I don't buy this logic. The QB position is one of the least dependent positions on physical tools, even if they still make a difference. We're acting like Kirk Cousins is somehow only limited by his physical tools.

Mac Jones can be much better than Kirk Cousins, even if they have similar physical tools. There's no reason why he can't move in the pocket better, read defenses better, be more accurate, and make better decisions. If he can do those things, he can be a high level player. Will he do those things? Maybe not, but we're talking about ceiling here.

Joe Montana's ceiling is apparently Kirk Cousins too.

Bruh, he was perfect last year. And it's not #s or anything I'm looking at, it's his pocket presence, quick and decisive release, anticipation, Pre read snaps, all things Lance has no concept of

Tom Brady's ceiling coming out was similar.
