Maybe realistically it wouldn't be, but that would be the perception. Mac was perceived as a guy deserving of (and gunning for) a starting gig. If the 49ers signed him, it'd be viewed as some kind of sign that they weren't sold on Jimmy...and they're very sold on Jimmy. They wouldn't want that perception floating around, and I'm sure they don't want their new franchise guy to be uncomfortable.
As for the injury, I'm only seeing the AC joint (shoulder) injury. Unless I'm missing some injury with the 49ers? I didn't hear about any injuries there, and he didn't miss any games.
All moot now that Mac signed in Buffalo.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
