One good thing about the hype train is that guys can get boosted by the media for no other reason than there’s not much else to talk about. The latest is the 49ers are expected to get “BIG OFFERS” for Mac Jones, the next rehabbed QB after Sourdough Sam Super Bowl champ.

Of course, nowhere are these BIG OFFERS spelled out exactly, or even remotely. But yeah with a weak QB class behind portal princess Fernando Mendoza, a weak-ass free agency QB class (hey, let’s give this Trey Lance guy a shot!) led by Daniel Jones (our next backup rehab?) and a bunch of other backups (Minsheeeeewwwwwwww? Zack Wilson? Hey, let’s rehab the entire 2021 QB draft class!), a guy like Mac Jones will continue to get the hype treatment as the guy to fix a team like Minnesota’s QB problems.

Minn of course famously jettisoned their rising sourdough bread loaf 14-3 QB for an unproven dry-white-toast guy in JJ McCarthy. The results? McCarthy went 6-4 and missed 7 games (plus his entire first season) as the Vikings missed the playoffs. And we all know were Sourdough Sam went. He went to Disneyland!

Hey, I’d take a 2nd round pick and tackle Christian Darrisaw. Unless the hype train drives his value up to the 1s. And Minn is likely the best landing spot for a guy like Jones seeing how successful Sammy was. Besides Minnehaha, teams the need a QB are:

• LV Raiders – Yeah, they get to cross the Mendoza line but if they were prudent, they’d let him cool his heels at least one year on the pine. Maxx Crosby would be a nice shiny piece, but we would be the ones adding picks to that deal. Would the Raiders do a deal with us?
• NY Jets – Still reeling from the Aaron Rodgers/Robert Saleh/Joe Douglas/Woody Harrelson, uh Johnson inepti-fest, they tried to rally behind Justin Fields. He wasn’t terrible, but he missed 12 games. The rest were garbage and that team is a running train wreck and I pity the fool that ends up there.
• Cleveland Browns – See Jets, NY above. Mayfield/Chubb/Stefanski/Andy (May)Berry shit-show continues the legacy of the Factory of Sadness for another few decades.
• Miami Dolphins – Hawk Tua looks to be jettisoned and they would be a prime spot for Jones. Not as big a fuck-fest as the above 2, but they are trending that way.
• Pittsburgh Steelers – Well, seeing as Mega Mike McCarthy may want to keep Aaron Rodgers for one last gasp, they might not need him, but it would be better than the Jets and Browns, and they still might want him for insurance purposes.

Speaking of insurance, the Rams might just let Clipboard GQ Jimmy G find another team’s clipboard to hold and get Jones for insurance. Would we do a deal with them?

Saints and Colts are also unsettled at the QB spot, so let the hype train roll on!! Let’s get a #1!!!

This shit is too funny. “That’s the end of the game!” and the ref high tails it out of the stadium.
