He had a holier than thou guess we were taking Mac Jones
1) As per NFL Network policy, I am not allowed to "tip picks"... and, in any case, this is not a report. But I've been asked a lot, on here & elsewhere, which player I think the 49ers are targeting with the third pick, and I've had some conversations w/ people who know things...

He was on the Mac Jones train then kept ripping the team when he was wrong (like Simms)
The likely source for any QB leak back then was QB coach Scangarello...and he left unceremoniously for a college job. Rumors after he left indicated he was not a fan of Trey Lance

*ya i linked a GC article...I feel dirty
Now Silver sees easy click bait by stirring the QB drama pot again
Under Lynch the 49ers do not leak big news. They did counter intel s**t with their coaching staff by never revealing their #3 preference until days before the draft
sounds like hes describing Purdy exactly in his responses. The guy has a point. A lot of great points in that interview. I agree with just about everything he is saying - although there are always exceptions.
i didn't realize that Trey has NEVER had to do a two minute drill in college. That's insane. I'm not attacking Lance. I just didn't know that. I do know that in high school, he has 11 combined passing touchdowns his junior and senior year. Lol it's always worried me the lack of football he's played in his life, the level he's played it at, and his inexperience having to pass the ball at any level. I always felt like that meant he has never, or very rarely, had to read defenses, complex coverages etc.
oh well! He's a niner and I hope he becomes what Kyle envisioned. I'm just glad we stumbled onto Purdy.
"One of my favorite things about quarterbacks historically, the mid-major to smaller Power 5 schools -- those over the history of time have been some of the best players in this league. And when you can take a quarterback who's a multi-year starter at a mid-major for example, and he can take them a level that they've never season -- let's say they're an average program, and then all of a sudden for two years they're winning conference titles or competing for it -- that tells me that quarterback has the ability to raise the level of everyone around him. For Josh Allen at Wyoming, the two years he was there, they won more games than probably ever in the history of that program. They had never had eight-win seasons. I think they'd had one or two in the whole history of the program. That tells me the guy is a winner and he has the ability to elevate the people around him. Those things are important to me."
