This is officially the end for Jimmy Garoppolo on the 49ers

This is the end for Jimmy Garoppolo, I think we all can agree. We always joke about the vote of confidence that a coach will get, and that usually means the end... [John Lynch] said he has been a pro... That is such a bare minimum thing to compliment a guy.

The 49ers drafted Trey Lance third overall in 2021 and Garoppolo was eventually phased out and traded.

Justin Fields is the best football player in the draft but only the fifth best quarterback

A take that I'm kind of squatting on, because I haven't heard anybody say it. I don't actually believe this. But it'd be cool to hear somebody say, and I feel like it might be coming, just saying that Justin Fields is the best football player in this draft, but he's the fifth best quarterback.

This is a subjective evaluation of talent profiles, though Fields was indeed the 4th QB taken in 2021 (Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, then Fields).

Mac Jones will be a bust because he is crying in his DUI mugshot

I like my quarterbacks when they get a mug shot to not have a little cry in their eyes. Oh, he's sad in it? Yeah, look it up. He's got a tiny bit of cry in his eyes. So I'm saying bust just on that. Just based on that.

Mac Jones was benched and eventually traded by the Patriots after three seasons, largely considered a bust for a first-round pick.

Citizen Kane is no longer the best movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes

Someone that works at Rotten Tomatoes found an 80-year-old review... talking a negative review about Citizen Kane. So they put it in the Rotten Tomatoes whatever system, and now it's 99 on Rotten Tomatoes, not 100. Paddington 2 is 100. So Citizen Kane, by Rotten Tomatoes metrics, no longer the best movie of all time.

This actually happened in April 2021; a negative 1941 review from the Chicago Tribune was added, dropping the score to 99%.

It is safe to stop wearing masks outside now

My hot seat is anyone who's still wearing masks outside. We're good. CDC said we don't have to do it anymore. Which I don't want to say not to brag, but I called it. But last week, my sunglasses were getting fogged up. And I was like, I think I'm done wearing a mask outside.

The CDC did indeed update guidance around April 2021 regarding outdoor mask-wearing for vaccinated people.

Justin Fields is the Red Star guy of the draft who will not bust

My red star guy, honestly, Justin Fields. I think everyone's overthinking Justin Fields. The fact that he's not going to be a top three quarterback... This is my guy. I am sure he's going to do good. He's the guy we should draft on our team. I'm fully vouching for this guy.

Fields struggled with the Bears and was eventually traded to the Steelers, making the 'not bust' label highly debatable.

Devonta Smith will not be a top 10 pick in the NFL Draft

I had the take during the national championship... I think Devonta Smith is going to be awesome, but I cannot see a team spending a top 10 pick on a 175 pound wide receiver... drafting traits over production... Devontae Smith just does not have the frame.

Devonta Smith was selected 10th overall by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Mac Jones is the 'Coach Killer' of the 2021 draft for Kyle Shanahan

It is Mac Jones because – It is, from what we've heard, Kyle Shanahan versus the personnel department in San Francisco... If Mac Jones does not turn out and Trey Lance and or Justin Fields turns out to be a very good player, we could be witnessing the beginning of the end to Kyle Shanahan.

Kyle Shanahan drafted Trey Lance, not Mac Jones. Shanahan remains the 49ers coach and has since made a Super Bowl.
