Kubiak believes 49ers’ Jones still is a starting-caliber QB originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Klay Kubiak, the 49ers’ offensive coordinator, expressed confidence in backup quarterback Mac Jones, stating that he possesses the skills to function as a starting QB if needed during the 2025 NFL season. Despite a fluctuating career and a challenging 2024 with the Jaguars, Jones’ attributes as a strong thrower and smart player led the 49ers to secure him as Brock Purdy’s backup, providing essential insurance as Purdy is expected to sign a long-term deal with the team.
