"To some, the term system quarterback is a pejorative. But in this 49ers' offensive system, with Kyle Shanahan calling the plays and Christian McCaffrey making plays out of the backfield, it seems like calling Niners quarterback Mac Jones a system guy is a mighty fine compliment. Not everyone can execute the game plan in the NFL. In fact, very few players can."
"Jones was close to impeccable, but he was hardly the only stud (or dud, for that matter) in the contest: STUDS Mac Jones QB Jones, with two injured knees, a gusher of a bloody nose, and enough bruises to be taken off a produce stand, didn't post an incomplete pass until the second half, completing his first 14 attempts for 143 yards, two touchdowns, and a 17-7 lead."
Mac Jones delivered a highly efficient performance despite injuries, completing his first 14 throws and finishing with a 135.2 passer rating. San Francisco defeated New York 34-24 to improve to 6-3 and set up a key matchup with the Rams. Christian McCaffrey produced MVP-level production, averaging over five yards per touch and functioning as the game's best player. Brian Robinson showed burst behind strong guard play, including an 18-yard touchdown. The 49ers leaned on a run-first approach and executed Kyle Shanahan's game plan effectively, overcoming a recent loss to rebound on Sunday.
