TREY LANCEQB, COLLEGE PLAYER
NBC Sports' Matt Maiocco reports 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said in December that he's "more open to deploying a mobile quarterback as long as sacrificing accuracy and pocket presence are not the trade-offs."
Shanahan's comments on dual-threat QBs came months before the Niners moved up to the third pick in the 2021 NFL Draft -- a move that ensures the team is eventually moving on from Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers will likely have their choice of Trey Lance, Justin Fields -- mobile quarterbacks -- and traditional pocket passer Mac Jones with the third pick. “Things change, people change,” Shanahan said in December. “You start to see you can win football games with any type of quarterback as long as they are good enough and you can be good enough in hundreds of different ways. ... So I evaluate quarterbacks in terms of trying to find people who can have a chance to be one of those elite-type guys and there's lots of different ways to do it. You can see now there's plenty of different ways, so I don't think that'll ever change.” Maiocoo said Lance and Fields "are likely evaluated as a grade below Jones" in accuracy and anticipation -- traits Shanahan has valued as an offensive coordinator and head coach. Whoever the Niners take at No. 3 will have a decent shot of overtaking the injury-plagued Garoppolo in 2021.”
Fields or Lance. No way it’s Mac. No way.
