re: Why did San Francisco draft a QB at #3 if they weren't going to use him right away?

If you are going to trade away three first round pics the y needs to be able to make an immediate impact
The Niners are more than capable of making the NFCCG with JG. Starting a rookie who hasn’t played in 2 years and objectively isn’t ready when you have a better immediate option would be disgraceful sabotage. Starting players who haven’t yet earned it is also how you destroy a locker room.
While you may be, thankfully for the Niners Shanahan isn’t stupid enough to fall for a very basic sunk cost fallacy and isn’t going to frick up the asset that his career is dependent on.

He won’t play 10 years with San Fran. They just wasted one. Why pick in top three if a player is not capable of starting and the guy playing ahead of him is awful?

What have you seen that makes you think he was worth three first round picks? If you are not going to play him ahead of Jimmy G then he was not worth three first round picks. I appreciate you can call someone stupid having never met them because they disagree with you and giving away three first round pics to pick a player that is not capable of starting in the NFL ahead of Jimmy G. Players that cannot start immediately. He will be another Daniel Jones. I cannot believe you are pretending to be some football guru and defending this pick. This is bookmarked to tell you I told you so next year and the year after when others are using 49ers picks to get talent while they are stuck with this pick that won’t pan out.
Nobody picks QBs in the top 5 to sit them except you and the 49ers, let alone give up three picks for it.

He won’t play 10 years with San Fran. They just wasted one.
Also, you realize he gets to practice, right? He gets to watch and learn and start to put things together after a long hiatus from playing. But because he's not rushed out there and getting killed means it's a waste of a year? Get out.

quote:Awful? Would help if you watched his games. At worst he's been top half of the league this season. That is not a situation that most Top 3 picks at QB come into and completely justifies the decision to sit Lance.
and the guy playing ahead of him is awful?

Rushing a QB into the starting lineup before he’s ready has worked out beautifully for us.

Bears and Jets
What does Mahomes career look like if he starts week 1 of his rookie year? I have to think not much different. If Alex Smith is not on the roster at all for him to learn from it makes more of a difference than if he started his first year or his second.
The Chiefs had a good team for him to step into. The Jets definitely don't have that for a QB (But are getting better) and the Bears probably dont either.

Its a lot easier to win a Super Bowl with a QB on a rookie deal, so its better to find out early if your guy is good or not so you can move on or add to the team. I do think this being a year affected by COVID probably changes things a bit but I don't think punting an entire season is smart under normal circumstances.

So they chose a mentally soft QBs with the third round pick.

I am not sure I should continue trying to communicate logically because you are misinformed. Backups don’t take 90% of the practice reps in the NFL.
quote:

So your solution to a long hiatus is to make it even longer? Got it. Makes perfect sense.

Right and believe it or not they will have draft picks next year, too. You are no longer allowed to waste top five QB draft picks on players that won’t play.

I could say precisely the same about you, but I am not because we were raised differently. The only way we will know who is correct is next year at this time and the year after when your boy is either lighting it up or flaming out. I’ll gladly eat crow if I am wrong.

The Twitter freak-out about Mac Jones really did happen. San Fran is the peak of woke culture, it is a possibility that they were worried about Mac being a fit. Anyone who was hot on Mac Jones has to be kicking themselves, he has been outstanding.
I think college fans confuse Trey Lance and Jordan Love. Looking forward to seeing which can play well at the NFL level.

Hes also in the most friendly situation you could possibly be in for a young starting QB in my opinion.

So you'd throw him to the wolves and destroy his confidence permanently?
Glad you're not a coach.
High pick QB's used to sit all the time. It wasn't until Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco started from the get in their rookie years did that start to change. Lance is raw as a fresh onion. You really think throwing him out there from the get is good for him or his confidence? Use your brain, man. And to go ahead and label him a "bust" now is just flat ignorant.

That was Reid's call. And Mahomes has even said that it was good for him.
You probably aren't that far off though.

They also drafted him because when Mac Jones' name was floated as a possible pick at #3, Twitter bots went insane because he wasn't black. Yes, that actually happened, but hardly anyone remembers it now.
Hard to do, but easily some of the dumbest shite I’ve read here. You think they drafted him over Mac Jones because he’s black?

Like I said yesterday, Mac is absolutely in the best situation of all the 1st Rd.QB's. Put him in JAX or Chicago and he would be awful.
It's all about situations and surroundings.

Yea they were so worried about woke culture that they picked outwardly conservative Nick Bosa 2 overall in 2019.

Aaron Rodgers sat for multiple years behind Favre, seems to have worked out in the long run.
