Mike Felger calls out Adam Jones for his 'hot take' on when to play young QBs: "You're just wrong!"

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?

[@kwf484]

I'm not interested in anything AJ says one way or the other

[@HeartsforJesus25]

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.

[@evrgrn7518]

Ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. Zappe and a third? That's one of the worst suggestions I've ever heard 😅

[@AR-rf6uf]

These guys literally know nothing. They have ZERO sense of the league as a whole. SF literally couldn't get a 7th rounder for him. Literally not a single team wanted him and the guarantees left on his contract (almost 4 fully guaranteed this years; 5.7 next year) for a 7th!! They have absolutely no context or knowledge when it comes to shit like this. So glad I haven't lived in Boston in 20 years. I'd go out of my mind listening to these idiots. A STARTING CALIBER LEFT TACKLE from ARIZONA just went to HOU for a 5th with Houston getting a pick back.

[@jaredjensen5866]

I'd take Cunningham over Lance at the moment...

[@leFakiro]

Adam Jones is a funny guy

[@williamcahill2462]

Felger is the latest in a long line of big mouth, know nothings, on Boston sports radio.

[@Kittonwy]

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.

[@jaisriram295]

We don't see them in team training so clearly they have liked what they have seen

[@jackfeldman8684]

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)

[@donywahlberg]

Weird comparison, there have been slews of Athletic QBs and some have even won 1-2 SBs but that doesn't equate them to Brady who is an elite athlete that won 7 times. People need to slow the Mahomes train it's reminiscent of Manning accomplishing nothing but constantly being held along Brady because he was athletic.

98.5 vs WEEI

[@josecolindres1325]

Bring in lance !!

[@billshun3963]

I am sure Kyle Shanahan loves to have Mac Jones now instead of Lance.

[@DeputyDong420]

Zappe is literally better than Trey Lance..what the phck are we doing here…

[@masondella-piana6632]

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

[@kellyhart2534]

Or Zach is just not an NFL QB. I get your point, but there’s very little in this world that is purely binary.

[@masondella-piana6632]

@@kellyhart2534 fair point. They conceptualized the argument as binary which was the point, but yes revised to your point

[@kellyhart2534]

@@masondella-piana6632 agreed… they do that a lot. That, among other things, is what makes them both difficult to tolerate lol.

[@playstationsfinest]

1st

[@DWilliams-ce8nb]

Newsflash, Felger. Shanahan didn't want Trey Lance. The culprits were John Lynch and Adam Peters

[@georgeryanjr.776]

Felger is a clown 🤡

[@tubopedia]

Yes, I don't want him cuz of Kyle Shannahan. Kyle Shannahan knows football and QB'ing better then these 3.

[@tubopedia]

What is wrong with developing Mac. We have time to develop Trey Lance, but we don't have time to develop Mac. Josh Allen looked terrible his first 2 seasons. Bringing Lance will get in the head of your starting QB you are trying to build up.
