I don't buy it one minute that Trey Lance was the guy all along. John Beck was asked with Lance much much later after the trade. I still think that Shanahan wanted Jones and Lance became somone others wanted. Lynch lied when they said they never made an offer to GB, meaning they weren't sold on the QBs. Aaron Rodgers even said that GB should have taken the offer. This FO was arguing about who to pick until the last minute and lying through their teeth.
I don't know. Kyle started playing with mobile QBs last year (Brock Rutter) and Josh Johnson this year. The rules for CTE will continue to evolve and I don't think they are going back to the slobberknocker years. Its all about moving the offense to the next level, and I think being beat by Pat Mahomes probably was a big factor in that.
As for Mac Jones, i can see Trey be developed by Kyle into a Mac Jones in terms of passing, because Kyle likes guys who can be pocket QBs first. Now Trey adds that other dimension we haven't had since Steve Young. I'm betting there's tons of new offensive concepts he's going to come up with to advance the passing game with Trey. I can't wait to see what Kyle comes up with.
As for Mac Jones, he's going to be a good QB, its nice that he's in the AFC.
