Mac really improved people's perception of him with the way he played subbing for Purdy. Does he go elsewhere or do the 9ers keep him?


Tua...wellll some say he's lost it, some say its mental or lingering medical injuries. Miami paid him way too much to probably get rid of him but this is the NFL and we've all seen nfl teams do stupid stuff. Imo a team that would pay to have him is the Raiders. Not that I think having Tua is a bad decision its just for the amount that it would cost.

Personally Im glad McDaniels is gone. Half his interviews looked like he was high.

I don't think SF lets Mac leave because Purdy has a history of injuries.

Tua isn't going anywhere because Miami can't afford for Tua to go anywhere. At least for another year.

McDaniel was a computer nerd coach out of his element. We've all seen what Tua can do when healthy with a supporting cast.

Some team will come for Mac and offer him a ton of money to be their starting QB. Even if the 49’ers decide to match the offers , Mac may decide to leave.
Darnold has resurrected himself as a starter and Mac probably should take the same route. Pittsburgh perhaps?

Mac is under contract for next year so he really has no choice...it isn't college football lol.

They could trade him, which I'd like to see, but I think they hold on to a quality "cheap" backup unless they get a really good trade offer. Minnesota would be a good spot if it happened...McCarthy ain't it.

Tua...weird situation. I think they end up cutting him after June 1 and just eating that ill advised contract. New coach and GM...Miami is going to want to start fresh.

Tua then can sign with whoever. Someone will offer him an obviously much smaller, 1 year prove it contract. Whatever happens, he got generational wealth already.

Tua needs to retire while he still has his mental faculties.
