Bad eval, arrogance, and perhaps some in the room were aware the fans were set to burn the team to the ground if Macaroni Jones was the pick.

Of course if Jones was the pick we'd be in the same situation as Brock is a superior player to him too.

Injuries and then another player exploding on the scene. I feel like people are taking this thing wrong, like they never tried to do right by Lance. He just kept getting injured and another player exploded on the scene, in a historical way, and won everyone over.

they gave him a redshirt year to learn, and sprinkled plays in until he keep getting hurt. Then they gave him his entire second year, unchallenged, and he got hurt. It's just unfortunate but what else is the team supposed to do?

Ignore Brock and give the guy they have less confidence in the job just because he's a nice guy? I feel for Lance but what is the team supposed to do? It's year three and if he was a stud, you'd expect him to be able to beat a bust journeyman

They should make him the QB2 even if they think he isn't

Maybe not because Mac probably wouldn't have hurt himself for the season because he can throw

Maybe. Things probably play out very differently… but I'm more excited about Brock going forward regardless.

We just should have stood pat and let the draft come to us like you mentioned earlier. None of those QBs were worth that move.

If Jones was the pick he may have stayed healthy and we would never see what Brock could do. It's impossible to know the what ifs because there's always far more variables than people like to admit to there being.

So they should get some flak for all this, no? And not a chance kyle gives a s**t what the fans think when making a decision like drafting a QB.

McCorkle behind this line? You see him this yr…he wasn't healthy in NE.

He got hurt last year too. It's why Bailey Zappe is even a name anyone knows.

Kyle probably doesn't. He isn't the only one in the room.

Look at our clown owner on draft day.

Regardless, I think Kyle and the rest of management* deserves criticism for the move. Thankfully they've made other moves to survive the mistake and even get better.

People are ignoring the elephant in the room of how bad this pick was and more so how it was handled.

how's that "fair" ? He got 31 passing attempts then made him split reps with Sam Darnold all camp.

Because Brock took his job. Pretty simple. The NFL isn't fair, sports isn't fair. This is seniority at Campbell's Soup. Lol

The NFL is extremely fair. You produce and you are paid. You stop producing and you get demoted and paid less. Lance is exactly where he should be in the pecking order. He's had 3 years to get his act together on this team, way less than Purdy has had, and he hasn't produced. He'll be on another team very soon.

Why? For all we know being made QB3 now is what helps Lance have a great career with another team, and without it he would never turn the corner. Again, so many variables go into these things it's impossible to know how it turns out. What if Montana doesn't come back from his back injury and Young starts all the games in 1987 and plays middling? Would he be around to be the QB in 1991-1992 and prove he's able to play at a MVP level that second year when Montana is out with his elbow injury? Young learned a LOT in those years backing up Montana that he applied to his play when he became the starter in 1991. What would he be without that experience? Impossible to know the what ifs.

Yup. Was never a fan of the trade up just that if you decide to do it swing big. They swung and missed. Then seemingly hit a grand slam the next year.

That's the draft for you.

Kyle is the guy. It all rolls through him especially who they draft at 3 overall to play QB.
