Because the restructure locks Ryan in for 2 years. You'd have to sit a rookie for 2 full seasons.

Not an easy thing to do on a team with so many holes. They will want to maximize what time Ryan has left rather than spend the 4th pick on a guy who won't play until 23.

"Off the field, there was an arrest for DUI during his redshirt year in 2017 that made Jones re-evaluate his priorities. His father had never been a drinker, even in college, and Mac knew his dad's disappointment would be profound."I focused on what was important to me, which was football." Jones said. "On nights when people would be going out, I would go to the indoor [football facility], throw into a net, watch film by myself. I'd usually close all the doors."

Added Hereford: "For me, that (DUI) incident was a transitional event for Mac. … He didn't go out anymore. He locked in and put his head down. He was balling before, but after that it was more of an 'I'm kicking ass and taking names' kind of vibe."

- Decent article about the "Joker"

Hey, if this is in fact a pivot point in his life, then that's great for him and can be used as motivation. But it's also pretty much exactly what an addict will say too. The words are pretty empty one way or the other. But actions speak much more loudly.

It's amazing that he is getting so much buzz that nobody cares about QBs 1 and 2. Players with this much buzz always end up disappointing.

It feels like drafting Jim Druckenmiller, but at 3 overall versus 26th overall

Every QB has been listed as going to the Niners. These writers and draft gurus keep making all these predictions and they've pretty much covered every possibility. Some of them are going to be right. Then they can spend the next few weeks writing about how they knew all along and they had inside sources. All of that is bull. They're like these people that make predictions every year about events that will happen. They make 30 predictions and if 29 are wrong and 1 is right, they hang their hat on it and brag about how they knew it. We forget about all the wrong predictions.

Then the ones who are wrong say that nobody could have known because SF did not leak anything.

They wont say anything, nobody actually goes back after the draft and points out how often they are full of s**t. They can say whatever they want because there is no actual sports reporting anymore, they are all just pundits offering opinions.

If fans know only 1/10th and coaches/front offices all know 10/10ths.... where would you rate Schefty?

I don't know him enough to rank him. But anyone paying attention knows he's more than just a writer.

b******t....he is writer. That is all he is...he isn't some mystical guru for f**ksake.

I will say this from experience as I respect how Mac Jones plays. I did not think this way a few years ago before witnessing it first hand.

I have seen a QB similar to Mac Jones in that he was oddly shaped and not fast. The main QB was the best athlete but always seemed to scramble around via running stride. Anyone could easily tell that his running stride kept him from instantly throwing to a guy who got open for a split second. He would always wait until a WR broke loose before throwing it. Or, he would just run with the ball.

The second oddly-shaped slow dude ALWAYS stayed flat footed and it was weird because he was able to subtly avoid defenders who were coming at him full. speed. AND, he was ALWAYS able to throw in an instant. It took a while to accept that he was the better QB but the dude kept getting it done. It was just weird but very impressive. The defenders that he was not able to dodge were the ones who got smart and geared down a little bit instead of going at him 100mph.

At the end of the day, what really helped him was that he kept his feet on the ground and was able to move defenders because he was always ready to throw along with a clutch and a pump similar to Big Ben. Uncanny pocket awareness as well.

QB's who run-scramble aren't able to move the defense because defenders can see with their eyes when that QB is getting ready to throw. This is what makes a player like Mahomes special because he can throw in an instance, even with a run-stride.
