Took 5 seconds to disprove "not finding facts". He is a QB. If he ends up starting, it's the most important position to keep healthy. Getting hit is unavoidable.

Also, reading comprehension is your friend. The weight is a secondary concern to being mentally ready to run the offense at a high level.

Good job cherry picking a random google question. Now here’s one asked about Qbs directly says heavier players often face more injury risk. Your right. Reading comprehension is your friend. Try some of it. IMG_8075.png

We have had so many players who had “all star” performances in that game, it is difficult to pick who played the best that night. Miami never knew what hit them.. Probably one of the best 2-3 performances I have witnessed in my eighty years of watching Tennessee football.

I like this offense with a qb who can and isn’t afraid to take off and pick up a first down, as in like all the qbs who give us trouble. Can Gmac keep an rpo to keep the defense honest or tuck and run for 10 when it’s there? Thats what I want to know. If the defense doesn’t have to worry about qb runs, we are easier to defend. He didn’t do it much in HS and not in college, so we will see or we will be chopping down the playbook.
I’m ready to see what he’s got. Mentally, he should be ready after a 2nd spring practice. Smart kid and athletic family history.

Physical and mental conditioning produce fewer injuries In any sport. We now have the best S&C coach in College football.

Conditioning doesn’t = Mac needs to weigh 240 lbs. it’s all just a wishlist cooked up in fans brains. Ainge and bray were just fine with very similar statures.

I have a wishlist of physical metrics for all positions. Doesn’t mean I’m going to get it. I’d love all of our RBs to be built like Derrick Henry and all of our WR to be built like megatron. 4.3 40s for all of them while we’re at it.

Like I said. It’s a want. Doesn’t mean the ones that don’t meet the metrics aren’t ready to play.

You probably are not 6’6” tall. The physics of long levers that gives quarterbacks like GMAC higher potential arm power makes it more challenging to perform heavy bench presses. You had good power though, your one rep max would be about 300 or so weighing only 180!

Yeah. I was 5’11”. My max was actually 325 the summer before my senior year in 1973. In 3 years my max went from 140 to 325. No roids either. I was fortunate to have a great club a mile from my house in Chattanooga

That is literally basing it on smaller players being more elusive, and for the most part its mentioning taller vs shorter (Allen/Mahomes vs Murray/Wilson). George is 6'6" and we ask our QBs to make throws with people in their face. He's going to get hit. Ironic you talk about me cherry picking with a general statement regarding the human body and you cherry picked a very specific scenario that isn't focusing on the actual body managing hits, just what player types can avoid the hits lol.

Nah it just doesn’t fit your agenda. “Heavier players overall facing more injury risk”. Specifically related to football when you just asked some random weight question to the internet. Our scenario is college football if you didn’t notice. Were you okay when ainge and bray started at nearly identical stature or did you cry then also? Peyton? He was a few lbs heavier but wasn’t exactly a bodybuilder.

I’d suggest you write JH a letter expressing your concerns so he realizes what a risk it is to start Mac at anything under the 230 you’d prefer.

I have been saying all along he does not necessarily have to gain weight. He needs to be in tiptop physical condition and his mind set needs to be positive and aggressive.

I do not consider GMAC a ‘smaller’ qb. Yes he’s a little light but he has a frame that will allow a lot of growth. Wilson and Murray are much smaller frame guys.

Once again, you're using something that firsts your agenda and avoiding the context which has nothing to do with QBs actually getting hit, just that bigger QBs are usually easier targets.

I know you have some kind of emotional tie to GMac that you feel the need to protect him but he looks like a newborn giraffe.

HERE'S THE PART, FOR THE SECOND TIME, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY PAY ATTENTION TO:
>>>>With that said, I'm much more concerned about where he is in his mental ability to run the offense at a high level.

Would you like me to translate it to a 2nd language?

225 for 2 is pretty ****ing good for his size. Everyone on the internet can bench 2 plates twice but it honestly is pretty rare for me to see at my gym. I was 6ft1 180-185 and ripped, yes that is a good weight for a massive cut, and did 225 twice properly, big word there, fwiw lol. Glad I don't lie in life feels good.

Good job GMAC keep it up

The '86 Sugar Bowl was the most complete, 60-minute, team effort I have seen from a Tennessee football team in my 59 years of fandom.

Nico was not a 4.5 guy. He's closer to 4.8. They pump these numbers up for whatever reason. When they get laser times, it's always slower. GMac is probably also closer to 4.8. 6'6 guys who run legitimate 4.5s are NFL WRs.

James Pearce and Nico were dead even.

As many times as Nico was able turn the corner on guys and people still think he’s not fast. He had the game winning TD run in the Polynesian All Star game. It was like a 60 yard TD run.

And again being in the NFL Doesn’t mean you’re magically faster than college kids. It just means you’re more consistent and dependable. Talent has something to do with that as well, but Leonard Scott was 4.2. And he never sniffed the NFL.

George and Brandon are both 4.5 guys.

Nico 4.48- 4.51 just like Pearce.
