If Shanahan made the trade with the intention of taking Jones then Jones it will be all the talk in the world isn't gonna change that.

Yeah, but insults, hypotheticals, and unrelenting arm chair GMing is what gets us through.

Next QB of the 49ers right here. Everyone might as well get used to this image. They will be seeing it for the next 20 years.

He already looks out of shape at 22 years old. No way he plays 20 years.

he will be out of the league in two years! just another A J Jenkins!

Well they still got a month to remove the brain tumor from Kyle.

This Dan Patrick article has me wanting to break my phone before the draft

Some more info on Bama's offensive philosophy under Sarkisian.

Sarkisian has several key philosophies that influence how he marries the emphasis on running the football with RPOs and then how he builds the passing game off of those concepts and how defense typically try to defend them.

One point of emphasis is that Sarkisian wants to get his wide receivers the ball on the run, especially since defenses that prefer to play zone coverages are typically forced out of them quickly by RPOs. After punishing defenses that want to play zone and getting them into man coverage, Sarkisian wants to run crossing routes to create picks and get his wide receivers the ball on the move and in space to take advantage of their athleticism.

"What I believe in running the ball is if you give the quarterback too many options. all you do is throw the ball," Sarkisian said. "Well, at some point, in my opinion, you lose the identity of your program and you lose the identity of physicality and toughness that this game is built upon — this a physical sport."

As part of what Sarkisian calls a progression passing game — quarterbacks are reading progressions instead of coverages — the built-in answers for stopping the glance route are hard play-action fakes and then the drop-back passing game.

To make things more difficult for defenses, the quarterback can use what Sarkisian terms a "purple tag." The purple tag means that the offensive line blocks for a gap or man play like inside zone or power, although not typically outside zone because of the free backside defensive end. It's not an RPO, however — it's one of Sarkisian's passing concepts, except with the front blocking just like a running play.

Targeting the running back out of the backfield is also an important part of the passing game, including a concept similar to what Texas ran to put away the West Virginia game, when Bijan Robinson caught a 35-yard pass out of the backfield.

It's a point of emphasis Sarkisian — Alabama's Najee Harris has 63 catches for 650 yards and 10 touchdowns in the last two seasons.

"The least defended player on the field in the pass game is the running back," Sarkisian said.

Sarkisian doesn't want to just use flat routes to the running back — he wants to run wheel routes to get his running backs up the field and into space to let them make plays, too. It's an approach that should suit Robinson extremely well after the Arizona product had 15 catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman.

What Sarkisian doesn't believe in at this point is the quarterback run game, although he has used it in the past and the personnel currently on campus — redshirt junior Casey Thompson and redshirt freshman Hudson Card — are both dual-threat quarterbacks who would lose a key part of what makes them special if there aren't any designed runs or read options.

"We are not a running quarterback team, will not ever be that way," Sarkisian said. "We believe in throwing the football and protecting the quarterback."

You won't be saying that after Return of the Mac Jones leads the 49ers to Lombardi's #6, 7 and 8....and that's just before he really get going.

This guy is going to have the longest nickname ever in the NFL:

"Welcome to the NFL draft may I take your order?"

"Yes, I would like a QB1. The Big Mac"

"The Trey Lance?"

"No!!! I said a QB1. The Big Mac"

"The Big Mac?"

"You know the one with that special sauce. That sweet white mayo. Firm Golden Buns. Extra Large Pickle."

"Oh of course The Big Mac. One QB1 Coming up. Would you like anything else?"

"Now that you mention it throw in a 6th championship. Supersize it."

" Your total will be 3 first-round picks."

"For the Big Mac? Hell Yeah, I Am Lovin IT!"

I rarely ever agree with Grant(Makes me sick to even have to) but I would even draft Mond over Jones. And wouldn't have had to trade down for that.

Tom Brady Predraft negatives:

--Poor build
--Lacks great physical stature and strength
--Lacks mobility and ability to avoid the rush
--Lacks a really strong arm
--Can't drive the ball downfield
--Does not throw a really tight spiral
--System-type player who can get exposed if forced to ad lib
--Gets knocked down easily

Im not saying Big Mac is Tom Brady. Im saying you fools dont know s**t. Stop acting like you do. If shanahan wants him, and you have faith in Shanahan, let him do it. I dont get the people who have hard ons for Shanahan, but then call for his firing if he drafts Big Mac. It makes no sense.

What an athlete, Did you see that catch?

Such a turd

Can someone PLEASE help me understand why this guy is considered a "fast processor" and "sees the field at an elite level"? I watch his full game highlights (Auburn, Miss. State, Georgia, etc) and see a guy who a) throws into double coverage pretty often b) occasionally throws down field to a WR who's been schemed wide open or c) generally throws screens to the best athletes on the field. He doesn't consistently escape pressure or make plays when things break down. He checks down so often Alex Smith is like, 'Bro, feel free to look down field every once in a while.' You would think that all of that ability to quickly get through your progressions would lead to something more than a stream of 6 yard check downs. This is what Kyle's so high on?

I'm open to being wrong! I just don't know what I'm missing when I watch him.
