The 49ers didn't want him, they crumbled under the pressure to take Lance after mock drafts had White QBs going one two three. Can't have that in the NFL anymore even if the next 29 picks were projected to be Black. Mac Jones was who they wanted but at least they've recognized their mistake early instead of magnifying and prolonging it.
what's the worst that would have happened if they hadn't crumbled under the pressure and drafted Jones?
Nothing would have happened, it would have been quickly forgotten as Lance still would have been taken later in the first round by another team. And Shanahan would have done a better job of developing Jones than The Genius has so far. I do think Mac is going to have a very good year in '23 now that Bill O'Brien is back, but last year was a disaster for Jones and the entire offense after a promising rookie year.
All time bone head decision by The Genius last season hiring Joe Judge and Fat Matt as his co-offensive coordinators, lol. Even dwf talking heads were perplexed by this chess move…
Anthony Richardson will join him as an all time bust a few years from now. Maybe this years draft the colts will luck out the same way the 49ers did with Purdy
I had the same thought about Richardson. Totally in agreement with you.
Richardson sucks. I don’t care what color he is, he isn’t a good quarterback and never will be.
Murray's best asset by far is his running ability, but now, still in the midst of a long recuperation from a torn ACL, he won't be ready to start the season and it's yet to be seen if he will still be a running quarterback when he does return. Given how small he is, if his running ability is diminished or he's reluctant to run, he's pretty much done and the new regime hopefully will give Clayton Tune a full opportunity to start a new era after the huge failure of Kucksbury.
Serves them right for their cowardly stance. I would have thought a guy like Lynch would be better.
It boggles the mind when a white player, especially in a position that typically doesn’t allow whites (such as defensive backs) and who you know knows that whites are just as capable… turns around and continues the charade once he is in a position of power like a GM.
Lynch is yet another white former player who went full blown caste disciple as an executive. I'm by no means the first to point this out here, but in some cases they are even more fervently caste than black coaches.
I can't think of a player who's received as much reverence and worship as Trey Lance has for doing absolutely nothing of note in his entire football career. When the caste cucks are that emotionally attached to a player it's usually because they have an impressive highlight or two. Lance has nothing. It's truly bizarre even by caste standards.
