Why more posters aren't focusing on the beauty of having 3 top flite college QBs to choose from is mystifying. We are in the cat bird's seat and have 3, maybe even 4 great picks to choose from. Who has biggest arm, who has nicest touch, who reads Ds the best, who reads Ds the quickest, who can throw to a dime, who has best footwork, who is smartest guy( had no idea Mac was working on his masters), who can coach WRs on his own, who can lead best, who commands most respect...and you can think of others. THAT is what we SHOULD be focused on, not who had a DUI (unless that was a chronic problem).
Sure i get that there are probably negatives with each and every competitor. But not having fans focus on positives, and everything is negative, doesn't move the decision making forward. One thing, tho, stands out, esp for the 9ers. And that is previous injury...ACL, shoulder, ankle, whatever. Not sure of the medical hx of all 3 or 4 QBs, but that is one thing that DEFINITELY will a big part of the decision ( i hope, anyway). Whoever we get, i sure hope he isn't rehabbing from some football injury. That is the one thing we just cannot do...or hx of nagging injuries. For us that is verboten.
