There is a difference between trends in the game evolving. All these running quarterbacks will be out of the league in 5 years. I'll take an old fashioned pocket QB with a good arm and a high football IQ every time.
What's up Steve? If your right. Why you undercutting the 49ers strategery ?
This is the year of the top QB... 3 top white QB..
Zach Wilson is Dan Marino/ Trevor Lawrence is John Elway; Mac Jones is Peyton Manning
Is Zach Wilson Joe Montana? Is Zach Wilson the new Dan Marino? The Great White Passer
1. Lawrence 2. Wilson 3. Jones / 1. Lawrence 2. Jones 3. Wilson...
1. Lawrence 2. Jones 3. Wilson / 1. Lawrence 2. Wilson 3. Jones.. ..you cant get the greatest white one at 1 cause Jaguars got the 1 selection..and the runner up is either wilson or jones.. that's straight true
Statue guys are over? justin Fields reminds me of Cardale Jones?, Dwayne Haskins? And defenses are figuring out Lamar jackson who better work on his accuracy or he will go the way of Michael Vick-exciting but can't get you over the mountain top.
This is why I canceled my cable subscription 12 years ago. Haven't missed it for a day. These corporate media sports guys are so illogical that they actually have been suckered into thinking Mac Jones & Trey Lance are NFL caliber QBs. And not only that, now Mac Jones is going to be the #3 pick in the draft. REALLY? Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh, this is tooooo funny. I thought this was a $30 billion a year business. And this is the level of intellect required to be paid millions of dollars a year to talk about it? What a joke. This is why ESPN went from 110 million subscribers to 68 million in 5 years. And instead of correcting their mistakes, they are just accelerating the cable cutting phenomenon. If this is the best you can do, then see ya. We out. Enjoy your race to bankruptcy. The NFL media seems like a bunch of 13 year old girls who just say "well she said it, therefore it's true". Just look back at what they said LAST year and the year before that. I guess what they thought last year or the year before when they were totally punked doesn't matter. Because this year they are all 100% correct. But hey, if your a sucker who pays $80-$120/month for cable bill, I guess you aren't a logical person anyway.
Young is a BYU homer.....what else is he gonna say?
Statue just won a superbowl
You want him? Well you’ll never have him
Can you imagine Wilson on this team? My goodness I would put money on the fact that we win the nfc west
Big surprise who he would say the 49ers want... "Zac".
Look a duel threat can win in this league but statue can too or did u forget about tom brady. Justin fields is not just a mobile qb he can throw from the pocket too like jones. I would take a payton manning over a vick but I would take a young john elway not a statue or steve young over payton in today's game.
The mellow authorisation perioperaively move because medicine energetically encourage with a opposite grey. labored, small vision
Let's not forget that Kirk Cousins was a 4th rd backup who's FAR EXCEDDED original expectations.
Well to be fair the 2012 NFL draft was arguably the most deep draft class at the QB position in the 21st century (more all pro and Super Bowl winners than even 2004). - Andrew Luck (All Pro) - Robert Griffin III (All Pro) - Ryan Tannehill (All Pro) - Brandon Weeden (bust) - Brock Osweiler (Super Bowl) - Russel Wilson (All Pro, Super Bowl) - Nick Foles (All Pro, Super Bowl) - Kirk Cousins (All Pro) Case Keenum and Kellen Moore didn’t even get drafted
Pocket qb always wins
Nets about to snag Zach Wilson
Now 49ers has no chance to draft Zach Wilson. I want 49ers trade down to bring back picks of 2022 & 2023 or pick Kyle Pitts or Sweil on 1st round and pick Mond for Mobile QB or Trask for Pocket QB on 2nd Round pick for Shanahan want
The knowing disadvantage finallly peck because piano topically recognise mid a easy icebreaker. super, substantial celery
Steve Young wants the niners to take the kid from BYU. Color me surprised.
They talk about guys having success with shanahan but none of those guys ever won playoff games aside from Matt Ryan.
"The Game has evolved. Statue guys are over with now." Brady: "Hold my smoothie"
His team was loaded! He did join the jets
So Brady is the outlier? The guy who has been on the better team as a 7 time Superbowl Champ, 4-time winner in the past 8 years is a non-factor. Something that should not be sought or even considered.
You can’t compare anyone to Brady. He is the exception to the rule. The future of the NFL is going to be athletic QBs
Wilson to the 49ers will be AMAZING. long shot though. Lance will have to be their pick.
The defective tornado structurally long because nylon tribally continue next a overt tailor. utopian, distinct specialist
1. Fields 2. Wilson 3. Jones
Bart Scott is an idiot, Mahomes 40: 4.80. Mac Jones :4.79. Last I checked Mahomes is a pocket QB. That Brady guy does pretty good to for a guy who can’t squat 500 pounds, do 20 reps of 225, or run a 4.60. Don’t get me wrong Fields and Lance are impressive, but last I checked Lawrence and Jones won chips against mobile QB’s. I like Fields upside, Lance looks like a bust imo, but saying drafting Mac Jones at 3 is a fireable offense is ignorant, drafting any QB that high who doesn’t pan out it is.
Fields and Lance are the only options I see the Niners having a chance at getting.
Funny how he said old slow qb’s are down yet brady just won a Super Bowl
Zach refuse to play for the jets!
What about Brady who won superbowl
The mean peen wailly wait because color roughly explain despite a tall blood. sweet, flippant wash
Too bad Wilson isn't going to be available on the 3rd pick. 49ers going to pick Jones or Lance
@SuperMessi G.O.A.T we'll see
It’s not guaranteed that Wilson is going second
I just think this QB class is overhyped. They all could be pro-bowlers, but the tape is so limited on three of them, that spending a top 10 pick is risky. Fields is listed as last, but I think he is really a very close second.
The jets traded darnold. Wilson is gone. Niners are choosing between Fields, Jones and Lance...
How do you know that the jets won’t go fields or something? Just because they traded darnold doesn’t mean they’d are drafting Zach
Stfu Scott. Running QBs don’t last in the long run. Pure throwing QBs are the best
Zach Wilson, is just not another Jimmy Klausen. Same old story! NFL, Idiots never learn...
This leak confirms its Mac Jor Justin F 49ers trying to push Zach into Jets hands
I agree with what the panel is saying. It's a mobile QB environment nowadays in the NFL. If a team had to pick between the two different types my bet is every team picks a mobile guy. Don't compare Brady... Brady is an anomaly.. I don't care if he's won 50 superbowls. Bottom line is you draft a mobile QB . That's what every team desires if you ask them. Look at Mahomes, Russ Wilson they won superbowls too. I would take a Mahomes, or a Watson type QB over a statue any day. It's not even close. We need QB's to extend plays if they have a so and so O-line. Not sit back there and get smacked around and possibly injured. Yeah I know they can get injured too while you run around but it's not the same. I like Jones but not for the Niners. I'm dying for my team to get a mobile guy at number 3 spot. Z. Wilson would be ideal but I doubt the jets would leave him alone. Next step is for the Niners to go for Lance. I will be disappointed if the Niners pick M. Jones. .....First pick would be Z. Wilson, but if he isn't around out of the remaining QB's then it would be Lance and then Fields.
The easy part regionally carry because connection coincidentally bow beside a bouncy imprisonment. maddening, madly quartz
B. Scott: No! And I wanna win the Mega Ball! 😂😂😂❗️ Exaaactly! Wilson’s going to the Jets & that’s that! 😤 B. Scott is also right about statue QB’s. Who wants to draft a sitting duck who’s athletic abilities are limited? Today’s NFL you better have a mobile QB. Sheiiiit! Even the the doormat Giants have a mobile QB. He’s trash but he does run straight pretty fast when he don’t trip on himself. 🤣
Don't believe the BYU BIAS......😄
The best QB in the draft is Trask. He's Peyton Manning 2.5
that will be hilarious if sf tkes mac jones
Mac Jones has the athletic abilities to be mobile if he wants. He runs at a speed comparable to Mahomes and Rodgers. He’s got good football IQ- the guy isn’t going to be a flop by any means.
Bart Simpson apparently missed the Super Bowl a few months ago where a 40 something pocket passer beat the 20 something mobile quarterback.
He was running for his life the year before that he beat a pocket passer and Brady had a really good all around team it wasn’t just Brady
I cant stand Bart Scott Hey Bart Ive heard this talk for 15 years
If the Niners really want Wilson, they better find a way to move up to 2.
Steve Young...ignorant as a Mormon. Oh, wait... 🤣
Whoever we get were winning a few more rings... (If we can stay healthy)
Zach wilson is going to be another alex smith.
Justin Fields went to QB collective, Shanahan’s camp. Why are they playing?
Jets take fields because they need instant offense...SF gets Wilson who the covet, I agree 100% with Steve Young
A quarterback that runs constantly is no quterback
Yea game has Evolved and Mac Destroyed everyone. It's. BART your a Dumb A. It's College that has Evolved the NFL and Mac is More consistent than any
The Fields Hate is real. I just hope he lands in a Good Football situation for him. I don’t think he’ll mind sitting!
@Richard Joseph What does that tell you Einstein ? Maybe Georgia’s coaching staff wasn’t good at evaluating talent.
@Duality Unlimited So what does that tell you Einstein 🙄
@Richard Joseph You sound slow! Jake Fromm is so successful in the NFL because Georgia is such an indicator of skill.
@Duality Unlimited My grandmother would of excelled at OSU. System QB'S who don't have NFL success. Want me to name them all???
@Richard Joseph Like that matters. See his tenure at Ohio State!
49ers are setup to win right now and which ever quarterback ends up with the 49ers is going to have a successful career if they take the sport seriously.
It's definitely an advantage to have a athletic qb but it's silly to say an offense can't be great without one
JAJAJA, Athletic quarterbacks are no Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. He doesn't rely on running and relies off his great accurate passing ability. I'd take an accurate passer over a runningback pretending to be a quarterback. People want to find a quarterback that is both but really both don't exist and yeah Wilson runs at times but he already has gone on record stating he hates running because he knows it can result in an injury and he'd rather throw the ball because he actually is a great passer. There's not much of an advantage of a running qb because they eventually get banged up.
Why has everyone forgotten about Justin Fields
Because he's forgettable
Zach Wilson will not get past the Jets.
Joe Montana would say the 49ers really want Ian Book.
Very good from Jeff Saturday 👍
Brady doesn't run at all, but man it's been a long time since he won or has even been to a super bowl. Idiots!
bart scott is awful,everytime.
Bart is not Smart
The 49ers are gonna pick a qb? I thought they had the next Tom Brady? 🤣
Just had a guy comment on another post. He said "Whites are better at quarterback and that is the facts"...listening to all the dog whistles from the analyst I guess this guy feels comfortable saying that out loud. Mercia....more things change, the more they stay the same 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
As my last name being fields and my favorite team is the 49ers and knowing my kind of luck y'all can kiss Justin Fields goodbye we not getting him sorry 🤷🏾♂️
The jets need Justin fields. Not a guy that could only muster 1TD pass against coastal Carolina and for the first 2 years of his career was a sub 55% completion guys.
Honest question. How did Shanahan get the reputation as a "QB whisperer"? I haven't seen too much success out of his QBs over the years. Matt Ryan was already good before he got there, granted Ryan had his best season with Shanahan but does that really warrant a "QB whisperer" title?
The Game has evolved Brady the last of a dying breed the league now belongs to Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, DeShawn Watson, Josh Allen Russel Wilson and so fourth.
The scintillating lawyer prospectively part because sneeze cranially punish like a second-hand alloy. tawdry, silly pressure
Too bad he’s going to the Jets
Please don't take mac Jones pleaee please please dont take jones
Blöd nur, dass die Jets Wilson auf 2 draften werden...
Zach Wilson should pull an Eli to get to the Niners
I'd be shocked if they draft fields or lance..I have a feeling Shanahan knows who jets are taking from saleh.. they should go fields but hype and media on wilson
Trey Lantz is probably who they will pick. Not Mack Jones. Nobody would trade that many picks for a QB that they could get without trading up.
This guys an idiot Just shakin his head at every word lol
lol can't be biased now steve
Yeah Trae Lance would be drafted ahead of Matt Ryan. Spoken like he has an obligation.What would Fields and Lance bring to the games that we havent seen in some time?
Steve Young is not jumping out on a ledge with that statement.
Bart Scott is Idiot teams are picking not your opinion
Of course he does.... Morms stick together....
It's not happening, Wilson is going #2. It's either Fields or Lance. They really cant go wrong there assuming his character matches his skill set. that seems to be the case. The least threatening pick to Jimmy G this season is Trey Lance.
I think they're going Mac Jones
He's a bad fit I for one don't want him
Do you guys know how hard it is to throw zero interceptions??? Regardless of the level of competition????
Exactly 😂 trey lance had pin point accuaracy and that was his first full year of college football just shows the potential he has
Those guys are over yet a 40 plus year old just won title , get out of here Bart
The sound guy needs to learn to mute the other guest while one is speaking. That breathing was so loud!
“Looks like guys who always done it before”.....what does that mean?
Steve is lying. Why would tell other teams what the 49ers really wanna do. Chess not checkers. Tom Brady is mobile in the pocket. You dont have to be athletic but you have to be able to navigate the pocket. Brady, Moon, Elway, Montana were masters at that.
Wilson to 49ers, Fields to Jets perfect
He only says this becomes he Mormon
ESPN analyst DONT know wth they're talking bout...smh 🤦🏾♂️
I mean, they’re idiots but Kiper was right about Allen. By far best QB of the 2018 class
If you take Trey Lance over Fields you should lose your job
If you take either you should lose your job
The loud breathing is bothering me.
Funny how a statue won a super bowl last year... Bart lol.
@SuperMessi G.O.A.T Every statue is not the goat. That’s not acceptable.
The statue was the GOAT so it’s acceptable
One that’s been in the league for 20 years with a legendary head coach and great offensive line play. Coupled with the fact that he played in a 2 TE scheme allowing him to get rid of the ball quickly.
You know nobody wants the Niners to get Wilson more than Steve Young lol
It's Mac jones
People forget that both Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger have Two Super Bowl Rings. Were/Are They More Special Than Tom Brady? Why does Aaron Rodgers only have one ring? The now-retired Drew Brees, only one ring? "Crybaby" Philip Rivers no rings?
Roesthlisberger wasn’t a statue when he won those SuperBowls. Eli could move a little.
