Mac will be a stud in the NFL. 49er fans don’t deserve him

Gotta be careful painting all 49er fans together. I've learned fairly quickly that the loudest individuals on Twitter or blogs tend to make up the vocal minority.

The truth is that nobody knows how QBs will pan out in the NFL. We just have to wait and see.

Yep, really hard to forecast that position.
Mac does seem to have the aptitude and confidence in his ability necessary to take that step if he gets put into a good situation.

You have no idea what I deserve 
.
ETA: All of this talk about physical attributes, accuracy etc. is just a bunch of draft talk. So much of it comes down to circumstance and offense. While I am nervous I believe Mac will be successful in San Francisco cause he is a perfect for Kyle Shanahan's system. He is organized, accurate and makes quick, smart decisions. Shanahan is guy that loves Kirk Cousin's for goodness sakes. Would Mac be good in say an offense where it is a playaction 7 step drop hold the ball offense with deep throws? Probably not so much. All this talk about this but Shanahan's scheme is all misdirection, rushing the ball and quick throws, Mac is great for that. Jared Goff went to a super bowl in LA cause he is in the right scheme or the right scheme was put around him. I doubt it is the same in Detroit.
I am still nervous because as others have said 98% of the time QB in the NFL is a crap shoot and quite frankly I don't like any of the QBs in this draft a lot, although I like Mac's qualities the most for the 9ers.

Im a fan of the "hE nEvEr fAcEd pReSsUrE" parrots out there. You can pretty easily pinpoint the people that did not watch the Michigan, 2019 Auburn, and Georgia games.
Im not promising he'll be great because nobody really knows. 5 really good college qbs are about to go in the first 12 picks and history shows that 2 of them will probably bust. But if youre gonna be vehemently against a player, dont base it on 4 looping ESPN highlights and a 300-word scounting report you read

Mac's average time in the pocket last year was something like 2.5 seconds, which is pretty much on par with what Brady does. I'm not trying to compare them. I'm just trying to illustrate what you have to do to survive in the modern NFL as a pocket passer. You aren't going to evade or outrun pressure a lot so you have to negate it by getting rid of the ball in a hurry, which Mac excels at.

As a 49er fan me wanting a mobile qb has absolutely nothing to do with me thinking Mac isnt good. The problem with the 49ers is that the offensive line will get a pocket qb killed which they have done. If they do draft Mac i actually feel bad for him because he wont be given a fair chance by the media due to what the 49ers gave up to get him.

I don't think the Oline is going to be as bad as it was last year unless they all get injured again which always seems like a possibility for the Niners. Williams, Mack and McGlinchy are good and Tomlensin and Bruneskill are NFL level. I could see us going online with the second pick. Oline wasn't a problem two years ago and Garapollo got himself hurt. The other QBs were career backups at best who had injured olines/skill players and honestly weren't that great to begin with.

It will all come down to the system the coaches run. Will they run a system that fits his skill set or will they try and mold him into a system not suited for him.
I do not follow NFL that much but it seems a lot of great prospects in the draft never pan out, not because their ability but the system they get put in.

Mac throws a great deep ball

I REALLY hope Mac goes to the Broncos. That team is pretty loaded with weapons

This isn't about his touch and accuracy on deep balls. It is about long developing plays which some offenses have in the league against NFL pass rushes and less than stellar protections at time. A lot of those offenses you are going to need elite arm strength as those receivers uncover late as well. If you don't have that arm strength you are going to have to have late career Peyton Manning anticipation to get those balls out there. I don't think he would have success in that situation. If you put him in the current Bengals drop back 40 times and hold the ball offense or the one of the Pittsburgh or Arizona Bruce Arians offenses in the 2010s he would struggle and likely get killed cause of the style of those offenses. Now in Shanahan's offense or New England I think he excels cause they highlight what he does well.

Wondering if Mac drops to 15 and gets picked up by the Pats?

I keep hearing from media types that Fields has been unfairly criticized, but the only QB I keep seeing bashed is Mac.
He's basically Joe Burrow... maybe not quite as "athletic" but very, very similar. No one questioned JB going at 1... just minor talk about his small hands...yet some act like they'll commit suicide if Mac goes 3. I'm at the point where 49er fans can have Fields and his "ceiling"...and wonder where it's at for the next decade.

49era fans don't decide anything, Kyle Shanahan does and he is going to do what he thinks is best. I don't think he is a not quite as athletic Joe Burrow he is more along the lines of hopefully a better Kirk Cousins. Either way he has the talent to be successful in the NFL and whether it is with the 49ers or someone else I hope he gets in the right place and situation to realize his potential.

If he goes 3, prepare for "hot take" fan backlash. It's ignorant and undeserved.
He reminds me of Matt Ryan...and could eventually be even better. Ryan takes some grief, but he was league MVP at one point.

What he is getting is undeserved now but if he ends up playing and winning for the Niners no one will care. Reminds me of the Derrick Henry was over worked and used up in college draft talk. Now he is has back to back rushing titles and a 2000 yard season and no one says a word. Stupid emotional hottakes are part of sports.
In regards to Matt Ryan although I hate it, is probably a good comp. Of course Ryan's MVP season was with Shanahan as OC in Atlanta which goes back to being in the right situation/system. I doubt Ryan is winning an MVP with to many other OCs.

The thing is they didnt trade two first and a third to get Henry. There will be a lot of pressure on Mac and the 49ers. I think they will go with Mac at 3 because of his maturity.
Posted on 4/26/21 at 11:34 pm to Tide or Die87
Good point, I was just thinking the trade and draft picks are the main issue here. I don't think anyone would be mad if they took Mac at 12 but losing the 2 first rounders does amplify this. Honestly there isn't anyone in this draft worth trading two first round picks for in my opinion but Shanahan does what he wants. I think it is Mac at 3 as well. If it doesn't work he and Lynch will end up answering for it.
