Adam Jones joins Mike Felger and Michael Holley on Boston Sports Tonight to discuss the 49ers’ decision to go with Sam Darnold as their backup QB over Trey Lance and debate whether or not the Patriots would be smart to try and trade Bailey Zappe for the former third-overall draft pick. Then, Mike Felger goes off on Jones for his take that the truly elite QBs can start from day 1 without any development and it won’t matter to their ultimate career performance.

Lol this can’t be a real question. Trey lance can’t play in the easiest offense for a QB literally ever, but you want him in the pats system?
We don't see them in team training so clearly they have liked what they have seen
Felger is the latest in a long line of big mouth, know nothings, on Boston sports radio.
Zac Wilson is the ultimate idea of this conversation. If he is good after Rodgers retires, Felger is right. If he is bad after Rodgers retires, Jones is right
Adam Jones is a funny guy
Newsflash, Felger. Shanahan didn't want Trey Lance. The culprits were John Lynch and Adam Peters
Bring in lance !!
Feel sorry for Michael Holley had to sit with these 2 jerks .
Adam Jones is one of the biggest idiots in the Boston sports market.
Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Zappe and a third? That's one of the worst suggestions I've ever heard 😅
Felger is just a loud moron
I'm not interested in anything AJ says one way or the other
The niners will have to package a pick with Lance to get rid of him. He's not ready to play, he can't even complete the short passes, the reason Purdy is starting over Lance is not because Purdy can make all the throws, Purdy is even more limited than zappe, it's because Purdy is money on screen passes and checkdowns.
I mean the two greatest that we have seen in the past 20ish years, Brady and Mahomes both sat for a year (I think Mahomes played like 1-2 games toward the end of 1st year)
98.5 vs WEEI
I'd take Cunningham over Lance at the moment…
The original douchebag calls out the bootleg version 😂😂😂
I'm with the original when it comes to this particular topic regarding rookie NFL QBs
Michael Lombardi was right all along! The trade-up was supposed to be to draft Mac Jones. 49ers had a team that was ready to win now and Mac Jones was the most pro-ready QB in that draft. I believe he would've played well in Shanahan's offense. But public pressure can be a mo'fo'!!! People couldn't comprehend Mac Jones as the number 3 pick in the draft, so Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch no longer had the balls to go through with it and instead picked a guy who had the tools, but needed plenty of time to develop.
Mike Felger is a loud mouth idiot who doesn’t know sports. He shouldn’t be calling anyone out!
Yes, I don't want him cuz of Kyle Shannahan. Kyle Shannahan knows football and QB'ing better then these 3.
Tanner McKee. Would trade Mac and a draft pick for Tanner. Not sure what the 3rd dude is saying about trading Zappe. If you want to move towards a modern qb, then you trade Mac….if you can. Then again, asking a journalist to make sense is a big ask.
This cannot be real. First of all there's a ton of guaranteed money on his deal between this year and next year (5.4 guaranteed). He's awful. He can't play. This is Mike Felger and Adam Jones at their worst. They literally can't trade him for ANYTHING. THEY TRIED TO GET EVEN A 7TH FOR HIM. ZERO TAKERS AMONG THE OTHER 31 TEAMS. You guys are so fucking provincial, you have literally no perspective on the league at all. The kind can't play. Less than ZERO chance we'd ever bring him in.
"he's a potential modern day qb"
Yeah and N'Keal Harry was a potential WR1. People turn out to be busts. No reason to waste time covering this. Patriots don't need to waste a lottery ticket in lance
Zappe is literally better than Trey Lance..what the phck are we doing here…
