Mac Jones

...

they managed to beat the Rams last year with Mac Jones at the helm, with no Kittle, and I think no Trent Williams in that game as well.

So we've always known that Shanahan does have McVay's number, uh, when it comes to these two playing in division.

I, I'm not sure I'm buying into this whole, we sent all these people over there and it's science that we think we're gonna stay on the same sort of time zone.

We saw it last year.

Remember the game on Thursday night last year where the 49ers had, you know, it was Mac Jones starting at quarterback.

He was eating bananas because he was going through body cramps.

I think Trent Williams was out.

Put in the work on it and tighten it up because I don't want to see him throwing flutter balls.

He looked a little bit like 2023 Mac Jones.

Oh, come

on.

But you let it play out.

Here's mine.

You poo-pooed the Flutter Bowl-Mac Jones comparison.

Go back and watch the goddamn play and tell me the Mac Jones throw against Buffalo to get intercepted by Micah Hyde wasn't a better throw in the playoff game.

So let's see what the Expos can do in the way of getting that run back.

In the bottom half of the second, first man from Montreal to face Jim Bunning will be Mac Jones.

Mack

Jones is batting 282.

That was a close one.

That was a close one.

One and one, the count on Mac Jones.

Missed it by a foot with her fishing net.

Like I think Ohio state fans still think that saying can be that guy again, saying it's the same conversation.

He's he's got Mac Jones tools and he's three inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than Mac Jones.

So I don't necessarily see that as realistic opportunity.

Maybe

And this isn't necessarily a rosy picture when you paint it because we're talking about all these second-year setbacks.

I remember saying it about Mac Jones, about how everyone went, well, the Patriots are going to be good because Mac Jones, it's his second year.

I said, number one, What makes you think a quarterback automatically gets better in his second year, and especially under Mac Jones' circumstances, which were horrific, everything that he had to deal with in his second year.

But if you think about Drake May and whether you can concede that this is kind of like year two and a half as opposed to year three, that there may be some continued growing pains as he faces these new circumstances and the competition gets better based on the schedule.

And outside of the four quarterbacks that you mentioned, between Burrow and Jackson and Josh Allen and Mahomes, no, this is kind of the more natural progression for quarterbacks in that there does tend to be a setback after the first year or year and a half.

So most haven't even seen a game since their last game in 2025.

Yeah it was quite a disappointing start and it gave me feels to their game last year their first game where the 49ers just looked every third down they you had a feeling they were going to convert it and the Rams would come out and they'd turn the ball over and and that was with no wide receivers again so today they had basically one wide receiver in Mike Evans doing all the damage so And Mac Jones in there.

And Brock Purdy, he played really well, I thought.

And that defense, that defense style for us.

You put any quarterback in that situation...

You put Mac Jones in that situation.

You put Shador Sanders in that situation.

You put Kyler Murray in that situation, right? I'm sure they can make the playoffs.

And then they have that procedure now where they can tie it together.

Tightrope with Mac Jones.

Remember that?

Yes.
