I understand you might be busy but the whole discussion about the Tar Heels started when I said Lance would have beaten them last year.

In football it's generally considered that the "Football Year" starts when camp starts.

The consensus is Aug 1st.

Last year would be the 2019 regular season. 

This year would be the 2020 season.

Next year would be the 2021 season. 

 

So when I say Lance would have beaten UNC last year. Yes he would have.

What the fug are you talking about?

“The 2019 Tar Heels were not a top 10 team and were lucky to keep it close vs Appalachian State. “

That was 2 seasons ago, Howell’s freshman season. You know the guy who came in and started day one, broke the NCAA record for passing TD’s for a true freshman. Lance on the other hand was redshirted his freshman year, because he wasn’t good enough to win the job... at NDSU!!! Lol!!!

Lance would be riding the bench anywhere except at a community college in North fuging Dakota.

With one week until the 2021 NFL Draft, everyone was still is waiting on pins and needles to get a whiff of what the 49ers were planning on doing with the No. 3 pick.

Alabama quarterback Mac Jones has been seen as the favorite ever since the 49ers made the trade to acquire the pick.

However, a lot of NFL executives were in lockstep with those who believed there was no way the 49ers surrendered that much draft capital for Jones, and had good reason to believe Shanahan and Lynch were not looking in that direction.

"I don’t think there’s any way in hell they’re taking Mac Jones,” one executive told The MMQB's Albert Breer.

“He’s not good enough. The Shanahan offense has worked with a multitude of types of quarterbacks,” the exec told Breer. “But it really flourished when it had a big athlete with a big arm like John Elway running it. I just think you’re moving up for the special athlete.”

He's shifted his argument to "last season technically wasn't last season".

You do realize football is a team game don't you?  I dislike the Tarheels, but even if Trey Lance is the next Tom Brady, I think 7-8 times out of 10, the Tarheels beat North Dakota State.  I feel dirty for saying it, but its probably true.  Just more talent across the board.

that's a bummer for mac jones. there might have been some teams prior to the Patriots that had interest but thought he'd never be there. he ended up in a decent spot, presumably, but it has to suck a little to hear you were a pawn in a misdirection scheme.

You may be right, on the other hand, Mac Jones reminds me of a young Tom Brady.  If there is a coach that knows how to effectively utilize Mac it's most likely Bill Belichick.

Mac Jones being drafted by the Patriots may very well be his best case scenario.

Which could mean that both Jones and Lance ended up in the best situations for them.

I was pretty sure Jones to the 49ers was a smoke screen.  Now, I wasn't sure if Fields or Lance was the target for a while, but when news "leaked" it was down to Jones and Lance, I was sure it was the later.

Jones made absolutely ZERO sense in Shanahan's system.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
