The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> didn\u2019t think they\u2019d be calling upon backup quarterback Mac Jones<\/a> to make his first start for the team in Week 2 already. Yet, after Brock Purdy<\/a> suffered hamstring and shoulder injuries, the 49ers did what they had to do, call upon the next man up.<\/p>\n

Purdy may not be able to return to health in time for San Francisco\u2019s Week 3 matchup, but his replacement did get his first win as the 49ers\u2019 quarterback on Sunday. Lost in that madness was a little comment Jones made about his current head coach Kyle Shanahan.<\/p>\n

The discussion occurred because Jones walked reporters through his touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey, in which the QB says his head coach perfectly telegraphed earlier in the week. As soon as Jones recognized the specific look coach Shanahan told him about, the 49ers\u2019 quarterback quickly fired the ball into McCaffrey\u2019s hands. Afterward, Jones reveled in the fact that Shanahan essentially told him exactly what would happen, showing just how important his weekly preparation is. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cool to experience that with a coach for the first time in my career,\u201d said Jones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For the first time in his career? That sounds like his previous head coaches and offensive coordinators didn\u2019t set Jones up to succeed. Or maybe it just means coach Shanahan is a cut above the rest. <\/p>\n

Considering that Shanahan\u2019s offensive scheme is still widely-regarded as one of the NFL\u2019s best, perhaps this case is a bit of both Jones praising his coach\u2019s wit while possibly also unknowingly throwing shade at his previous instructors. Either way, it\u2019s clear that Jones is right where he wants to be after inking a two-year contract with the 49ers in free agency this past offseason. <\/p>\n

For now, he\u2019s helped lead the 49ers to a 2-0 record, and Jones made sure the offense didn\u2019t skip a beat. Next up is a test against another undefeated team, the 2-0 Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. Now knowing what they have in each other, expect Shanahan and Jones to be more than prepared for any situation they face. <\/p>\n
