The challenge of drafting a QB continues. It’s way to early to judge the 9ers on this, but early returns don’t look especially good:

Per Schefter, the 49ers believed that the Patriots coveted Jones. The 49ers wanted to have the ability to consider the quarterback candidates who would be left on the board after the Jaguars selected Trevor Lawrence and the Jets picked Zach Wilson and, if the 49ers so decided, to take Jones.

Obviously, they decided not to take Jones. Even more obviously, they were right about the Patriots.

The truth may even be a little stronger than this report. The truth may be that the 49ers made the move with the plan to take Jones, but that in the extended period of time between making the trade and taking the player, the 49ers changed their minds.

It’s not the first time something like that happened for the 49ers. In 2017, the 49ers didn’t seriously consider Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson (they could have picked either) because coach Kyle Shanahan had planned to sign Kirk Cousins the following offseason in free agency. In the interim, someone persuaded Shanahan to pivot to a trade for Jimmy Garoppolo. Four years later, someone persuaded Shanahan (who despite titles runs the football operations in San Francisco) to shift from Jones to Trey Lance.

With Shanahan calling the shots, it’s surely not an easy thing to do. Whoever decided Garoppolo would be better than Cousins and that Lance would be better than Jones had to find a way to get Shanahan to come to that conclusion on his own. Most assume that G.M. John Lynch was the quarterback whisperer, um, whisperer. Others suspect that it’s assistant G.M. Adam Peters who has gotten Shanahan to step away twice from his quarterback convictions.

The second one wasn’t easy. It required Shanahan to completely abandon his quarterback philosophy. He prefers pocket passers who run the offense with precision, confident that if the quarterback does exactly what the plays require, the plays will work. Lance introduced the second-play capability to the offense, giving them a mobile player who can (when the play that’s called doesn’t work) make chicken salad on the fly, improvising his way toward a better result like Mahomes and Watson, the guys Shanahan could have had four years ago.

And so here we are, on the first Sunday of the season. The 49ers took Lance, and he’s not the starter. The Patriots, without budging from No. 15, got Jones. And Jones has looked great, great enough to allow the Patriots to dump their veteran starter. If the 49ers had Jones, they could have done the same thing — saving $24.1 million in the process.

This forum is so unboring that it almost fell off the front page!

I’ll make it boring again for a moment to say that I’m headed back to the big country today - I haven’t been for 18 months and 11 days so I’m excited to get back. If I’m delayed on getting back on any item here in the forum, it will be due to the fact that I’m online primarily late night there or in the am at a hotel. Go Broncos while I’m gone!

I've always found it interesting that the wheat we eat now bears very little resemblance to that wheat eaten by the George's and Mingo's of the world back in 50's...

This explains everything! Also our sitcoms were much better.

Interesting to see the Nuggets step up and give Porter a 5 year max extension. Porter can be a top player in the league - his touch as a shooter from any range is proven - and he can rebound. On occasion he can play defense 1 on 1, but he still looks lost on his team defense and he still needs to know how to find an open man when he gets doubled with the ball in his hands. IMO - he has shown himself to be coachable and has a very strong work ethic and seems to have a desire to be great. Best of luck to him. Milsap is gone - so he is liable to inherit those minutes.

He will get a boatload of minutes this year if he can handle them with Murray out as he will be the #2 option. He has the skills to be a top ten offensive player in the league so even if he can get to average on the defensive side the contract will be well worth it.

Being a Chiefs fan should be a crime itself.

If not prohibited by statute - it is still a crime against nature!
