"Over the last few weeks, the 49ers have been dealing with multiple injuries on their offense, with the most notable being quarterback Brock Purdy. That led them to have Mac Jones fill in as the starter, and for the most part, he's been performing far better than anyone has seen from him in years, leading the 49ers to a couple of wins."
"Every now and then, however, the player the Patriots chose to move on from rears his ugly head, further proving why they made the right decision and were fortunate to get the chance to draft Drake Maye last year. That's not exactly what San Francisco wants to deal with, even if they still believe that Jones is the right guy to fill in for Purdy until he is able to return."
Multiple 49ers offensive injuries sidelined starter Brock Purdy, prompting Mac Jones to start and guide San Francisco to several wins with improved play. In Week 6 against the Buccaneers, Jones threw an early interception that put Tampa Bay in the red zone, and two plays later Baker Mayfield scored a touchdown. The interception rekindled concerns about Jones reverting to earlier struggles. In the 2021 draft cycle, Trevor Lawrence was expected to go first, the 49ers traded up and selected Trey Lance, and Mac Jones fell to No. 15 where the Patriots selected him.
