I just don't think the ceiling or floor is that high to be honest. His accuracy isn't nearly elite; it's just pretty good. His pre-snap reads are elite for a college QB but that's the only elite part IMO, and a coach like Shanahan can basically do that part for you anyways. Realistically, the most effective QB early on will probably be Lawrence or whoever San Fran drafts (and maybe that'll be Mac but I highly doubt it), but I'd probably roll with Lance if I wanted to start someone right away and couldn't get Lawrence. For early success, you either need a coach/supporting cast like San Fran's or you need to be able to make plays with your legs while your eyes and arm catch up to the pro game IMO. That's why Lamar and Allen were able to have early success while Darnold and Rosen struggled IMO. The ability to make plays with your legs just increases your margin for error so much. I don't think Mac has the arm to make up for the lack of legs early on and he's looked pretty bad whenever a defense can shut down his initial read.
