I see it more along the lines of 80-90% being cool with Fields, 60-70% being cool with Lance, 20-30% being okay with Jones. Just my feeling based on what I've seen from 49ers fans here and elsewhere. Fields by far has received the least amount of criticism and "oh hell no, this guy's gonna suck" comments, at least from 49ers fans IMO.
I agree, and I understand the logic behind everyone's reasonings. Will be interesting to say the least.
The thing for me is Jones was never top 5 until we traded up. but you heard from two anonymous sources, one supposedly being a GM, that most teams are higher on Jones than the media had give him credit for up until that point. And Simms obviously stating Kyle probably likes Mac Jones a lot, which is a fair and logical assessment imo. Even if i don't agree with it lol.
I agree there are 5 first round QB and Jones is one of them, but I simply don't see him over Fields. I would have him close to Lance or a bit higher IF you needed him to start right away, but since we don't (as of this post) then Lance is more valuable if you believe in his upside.
All this assuming the staff can get the most out of them etc.
