**TNF on Prime - Niners at Rams**(-8.5, 44) 8:15 (3 Viewers)

QB controversy

Purdy is 100% a better athlete. Imagine Niners offense with Jennings, Auyik, Kittle, and Pearsall.

Mac had a Garoppolo first half. Good decisions, on target easy throws, take what's there, avoid mistakes. He also stays in the pocket and takes a hit - something i noticed in his rookie year. Meanwhile, yes, Purdy is a better athlete and he makes wow throws almost every game I've seen.

And scrambles and has some juice running the ball. Mac has none of that mojo.

 

[Wingnut]

YESSSSSSSSS!!

We want 44+ points

That was unhelpful.

I'd be happy if it stayed 24 points

Mac does seem less turnover(INT) prone compared to Brock.

 

[irish eyes]

Another moronic unnecessary penalty, bravo rams.

 

[rockaction]

There’s probably a research paper to be done on perception of football players in fantasy. Mac Jones did ok last year with the Jags in an impossible situation but he sure made Thomas effective like he should be. Mac Jones may just join Mayfield in the resurrected QBs list, & Dan Jones may not be far behind.

Mac Jones only two or three spots behind Purdy in EPA/PFF grade combination/average. It’s really not much of a drop off.

 

[Wingnut]

Shake it off, Mac

 

[jurrassic]

The Rams defense is getting shredded. What a bad play

 

[foxco]

Boy Jones is impressive so far tonight

 

[irish eyes]

This is comical how bad the Rams defense is. 5 yards on every run, convert every 3rd down , no pass rush, guys wide open all night.

 

[fatness]

McVay looked and sounded frantic coming out of the locker room and talking to the sideline reporter.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

And after all that nonsense, Mac Jones finds his TE open across the middle for a first down
Mac Jones has to be moving into one of the better back up QBs, he doesn't look nearly as bad as others we've seen of late

Cinci wishes Browning looked this good.

The Miami Dolphins way back in the 70s and 80s always had a decent to good back up QB, heck they won more games with Earl Morrall during their undefeated season filling in for the injured Bob Griese. They were a respected organization that was always spoken of highly and boy are those days long gone

It's a sign of a really good football team and leadership from the top down showing respect for the other 52 guys on the roster so they can go out and feel like they still have a fighting chance
I cannot say enough about the ability to develop back up Quarterbacks and Shanahan has to be considered one of the best along with the guy across the field from him

I absolutely will not put down the Rams effort tonight, this is simply great coaching and leadership by the Niners so far tonight, they deserve all the credit

 

[Wingnut]

Mac is dealin

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Started Bourne in 2 leagues and Demarcus Robinson in another and Tonges in 2 others......this is a rough year.

I’ve got Tonges in one league & DRov in one. Brutal.

 

[Wingnut]

Here comes CMCs (and SFs) 1st rushing TD

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

DRob revenge game?

 

[timschochet]

Boy Jones is impressive so far tonight

I don’t recall ever seeing him look this good.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Here comes CMCs (and SFs) 1st rushing TD

Gave it to juice.

 

[Manster]

Looks like more niners fans. Lame

 

[Wingnut]

Here comes CMCs (and SFs) 1st rushing TD

Gave it to juice.

Gonna be a pass on 3rd down here

 

[JoeJoe88]

Oh no.

 

[Wingnut]

Mac is dead on the field

 

[Terpman22]

Mac Jones down grabbing his knee

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Get up Mac, please
Oh dear Oh no

 

[timschochet]

not good

 

[JoeJoe88]

Not a dirty play necessarily but definitely should’ve been flagged.

 

[Wingnut]

We can't have nice things ever.

Adrian Martinez? Oof.

 

[Desert_Power]

Achilles?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Mac getting hurt was the only way the Rams had a chance tonight.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

He was slammed pretty hard into the turf, i hope he is OK, it's been so much fun watching him escape New England and fins his way to this spot
I hate injuries, I hate them I hate them I hate them
This sport is absolutely brutal

 

[rockaction]

Yeah, Mac is hurt. I was worried about that coming in, too. Not good. Now the Rams D can turn on the heat and Kyle better be scouring the wire.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Bad non-call there. Rode him like Saragusa on Gannon.

 

[irish eyes]

Who's the idiot they asked that said it should be roughing the passer.

 

[fatness]

Boy Jones is impressive so far tonight

Crap, now he's hurt. Grabbing his calf.

 

[Proteus]

Mac Jones just got cashiered.

Please bench McCaffrey for the balance.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Mac Jones down grabbing his knee

He’s been playing through the PCL.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Not a dirty play necessarily but definitely should’ve been flagged.

Agreed, needed a flag but far from a dirty hit on the replay
Seen far less called so many other times

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Mac Jones down grabbing his knee

Looked more like his calf.

 

[karl.Racki]

Clear roughing the passer by rule

 

[IHEARTFF]

Mac Jones down grabbing his knee

He’s been playing through the PCL.

Yeah that stinks.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Who's the idiot they asked that said it should be roughing the passer.

Uh, me I guess.

 

[rockaction]

Jones was really hurt at the end Week 3. Banged up his knee. It's said he was worse off than Purd

Yeah, dang. This was not good coming in and it was worrisome.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

He good. Let’s ride!

 

[karl.Racki]

Who's the idiot they asked that said it should be roughing the passer.

Its a bad rule, but by rule its roughing the passer.. He drove him into the ground.

 

[Alpha Dawgs]

Who's the idiot they asked that said it should be roughing the passer.

Yes he is an idiot! Why not just put a couple of flags on their hips?

 

[IHEARTFF]

Hopefully just a cramp or something

 

[JoeJoe88]

Who's the idiot they asked that said it should be roughing the passer.

Easy roughing call. All his body weight landed on Mac. I’ve seen far less than that called.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Clear roughing the passer by rule

This

-By rule, doesn't mean we all wouldn't like for that go non called like 30-40 years ago but by rule, that's a penalty
Excellent point Mr Racki

you don't understand the rules..

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

It’s basically how Gannon broke his neck. I’m fine with this rule.

 

[fatness]

Jogging off.
