Some of us know how to interpret our fellow miscreants to know what they meant. 😄 -
Picking a QB, even in the top three, and building a top ten roster and having solid coaching still leaves meeting every teams stated goal of winning a Lombardi as the only "true success" a longshot. When I parse the styles of QB play in relation to that goal it doesn't make it any easier. Just in recent years, we've had SF going several seasons in a row with a classic "game manager" type (yes, drafted as low as it gets) who also has pretty decent (just decent) mobility as a runner on a team with excellent coaching and a stacked roster on both sides of the ball, yet they couldn't get over the hurdle. We've also had one of the best "dual threat" QBs in many years with solid coaches, .f.o., and a stacked roster on both sides also fail to get there. We've had one of the greatest pure passers ever to play who won one Lombardi for a perennial powerhouse team in twelve seasons. The two QBs and their perspective situations that have won multiples and are arguably the two goats of all time to date are unicorns who, with their teams and coaches, have found different ways to win a season again and again. Moral, there are no sure bets or even safe bets when it comes to achieving that goal and prioritizing a certain shiny QBs "style." But if you don't take your best swings at drafting a QB when you have a top pick you're limiting what chances you have. I don't care too much about the preferred style or type of qb arguments as much as I care about having an appropriate roster structure for him and the overall football smarts of the people making the pick (and the vagaries of good fortune which we can do little about beyond hoping are choosers are making the smartest pick possible in an overall sense).

As time goes on, if it helps, you could edit the title to say "see op for list of additions to date" and then just keep updating the op. I thought I had the ES copyright on "iggy" as I use it as one of my favorite slurs. But I resign any proprietary claims for our new player. 😁👍 -
I don't mind the debate on whether Daniels and Mayes is a better choice. There is a well established list of reasonable pros and cons for preferring either guy or even just coming to an "either guy is fine with me" conclusion. But I do note a frequent lack of context on terms of factoring in what we think this entire roster will be like and the schemes that will be applied on both sides of the ball. Much of that is still unknown to us. The f.o. knows a lot more on that but are also unsure of how a good portion of our roster will look even if they have their designs on schemes well in mind. So a lot of the pros and cons on QB a v QB b are being argued out of context or at best in limited context. What I do get tired of, and it's just a personal preference thing, is highly repetitive "lobbying" (the "agenda" types or "college fanboys") for a strong preference between the two. I especially tire of the endless stream of (frequently lame) media sourced punditry saying the same thing over and over that such "lobbying" features. I'm still holding a marginal preference for Maye but as many folks here have stated, either one will be intriguing and exciting to me and I can be honestly hopeful with either guy. I'm just as curious though about the look of the roster a few months from now and to hear more specifics about scheming in order to better inform me on how the QB situation is going to look after we take one or the other. My hunch is this f.o. is also leaning toward Maye, but a hunch is all it is. Both guys are valid potential studs imo.
