Niners confirm the smokescreen

The joke will be on them if Jones turns out to be better than Lance, which is not a huge stretch considering how much better Jones was in college. Lance is a huge gamble. I'll admit he has intriguing talent, but so did many other QB prospects who flopped who were way more proven than Lance.

If Jones or Fields turns out better. It's very easy to see scenarios where they come out of this looking every bit as bad as the Bears did trading up for Trubisky. Time will tell. Maybe they're brilliant, maybe they're idiots.

Lance would have to be a big bust to not perform better than Jones, IMO.

Fields, hard to say. But if Fields is a big success, we will also look like idiots.

Yep. If Fields is a hit Darnold is gonna have to be as well for us not to come out of this off-season looking like morons.

Literally every GM after the draft says they got their guy. This isn't nor ever was a smoke screen, there was no one to fool and no one was going to be fooled regardless. This just reeks of people trying to come off as smarter than they actually are, maybe next time don't out smart yourself when it's 28-3 Kyle.

Pointless smoke screen. Unless they just did it to make media look dumb

[countryboi]

all that work for a player no one was picking that high but them? when they traded up to 3, Lance was a in the early teens. They are the ones that hyped him and Mac Jones up. it feels like they played themselves but it worked out

I just don’t understand why anyone bought into it. It was either Fields or Lance obviously.

To a point...

If you're in the top two or three, chances are pretty good you really did get your guy.

Honestly, I think Fields made the most sense. Lance definitely has talent, but man... they bet BIG on a guy who just hasn't shown a whole lot with his arm and did all his running against guys who are going to be HS football coaches or accountants.

He made Chinn look bad.

When does his HS job start?

He would have beaten UNC NC State and Duke last year if they played.
