That's right. Mac Jones is STARTING. Trey Lance is not starting.
See what you did there?
(1) Lance is a long term investment.
(2) Lance has JImmy Garoppolo in front of him. NONE of the rookies would have taken Jimmy's job at this point.
Jones, I think, might be better than Jimmy NOW, but he wouldn't have been in week 1, which means Jimmy would have won the job, which means Jones wouldn't be as good as he is today at this time, which means Jimmy would still be starting if we picked Jones (unless we traded Jimmy, which would have been possible given Jones' pro rediness).
