It was a very valid and reasonable debate between trading the farm for Fields/Wilson/Lance and staying put at 12 for Jones.

Now, however, the conversation for many has switched from "Jones can do anything Shanny asks and do it well enough," to "Jones is the only QB who can do what Shanny asks.". That's kind of what I was aluding to with the Superman comment ..sure Kirk can do what we need and can likely win a lot of games...but wouldn't we rather Aaron Rodgers do it instead? Now sure, there may or may not be an Aaron Rodgers in this draft, but Jones has clearly been annointed by some as Kirk Cousins at worst.
It goes both ways, but it's okay to think Jones is good but someone else better. But the hyperbole, my god. We got posters saying Mac has a faster release than Jimmy G? And the way these media talking heads are pushing Mac, he should be #1 OA pick....except the one narrative that must trump all is T.Law being the best prospect ever
There is not a chance in hell that Jones would be there at 12. All five are going top 10.
I think it is only 50 50 that there will be 5 QBs drafted in the top 10.
