BM is physically weak. My guess is that he can't bench 190 lbs. This past summer is probably the 1st time he's ever worked properly on his frame. Regardless of when he plays again I'm sure that his physical stature is on the minds of the coaches. It's not uncommon for a young player to be kept on the bench because he's not ready physically to hold up in this conference. He needs 20-30 lbs of muscle before the coaches have confidence that he won't get killed out there. It's clear to me that he isn't ready physically or mentally to be on the field yet. The knock on BM out of high school was that he turned the ball over at a high rate, inconsistent with his accuracy and that he needed 30 lbs of muscle added to his frame. He's exactly what most analysts thought, a turnover or injury waiting to happen if he had to play this season. He's got a little talent but not enough at this time to compensate for his shortcomings. He needed a redshirt year to get bigger, stronger and more mature.

You just need to stop. Every time you speak you show how little you actually know about him. He’s not physically weak. He’s actually just the opposite. He’s missed a grand total of 1 game in his entire playing career (knock on wood) behind a line that makes last’s years line look like the NE Patriots. You don’t think he’s been hit like that before? He absolutely has. Usually while throwing another dime. The kid is as tough as they come. In fact my guess is the hit from UGA would’ve put 80% of collegiate qbs out the following week regardless of class. I would say 90% of collegiate qbs would be out at least a week after landing on his head the way he did. Guess what...... you don’t think before you speak do you? Guess who was trying to get back in both games.... the “weak” one, or so YOU claim.

His knock coming out of Hs was the competition he played against. Ask HB about BMs division. He got a little taste and it was no cake walk for Marietta vs Edgewater despite the win.

Btw. He reps 220.

For the same reason you punt it on 4th and short. Because you’re calculating an end goal- percentage of getting wins.

You can start your best player against a juggernaut you have no chance of beating just to make a statement about “finishing” and “competing” but the truth is you put yourself at a disadvantage risking players for no reason.

Phone in Bama. Save your best shot for getting to a bowl.

Or you can Butch Jones it and run it 4x in a row up the middle with an overmatched O-Line.

Did new Mexico State sit out their first string? They had zero chance. Did southern miss? South Carolina? Both had zero chance. Has any team in the history of football sit out their players when they were greatly overmatched cause I can't think of a single one. This thread has showed who has never played nor competed

Hey bro when did Al Gore put you in charge of the internet?

Would you start Maurer against Bama under any circumstance?
Since he's been named the starter, are the staff and med teams negligent in some way?
(yeah, they're rhetorical questions; we know your answer)

Cheerfully,
Chief of the Internet

You’re arguing philosophy. I’m arguing statistics. You’re also “straw man”-ing the argument.

Might work with the boys down at the plant or your idiot family members. Not here though.

The point stands.

You play the player who gives you best chance to win. If healthy, JP and AT staff say so, Maurer gives you that chance. To say there’s no chance is a defeated attitude, what we are trying to rid The Hill of. That’s why you play the game, ask USCjr.

Mason Rudlof of Steelers was still sitting after a week of concussion protocol. No guarantee Maurer will be released by Saturday anyway. Rudolf even practiced.

How’d you manage to misspell Rudolph two different ways in the same paragraph? And Maurer didn’t have a concussion imo. In any case, Pruitt’s already announced him as the starter Saturday and that doesn’t happen without medical clearance.

Pretty sure he's listed as a game time decision this Saturday. I don't think he'll play any.

I can't wait for us to get good and still lose to Bama and one other conference team every year and never win our division, while UGA and UF swap trips to Atlanta and the playoffs year-in and year out!

Listed as game time decision today, Coach Pruitt must not have called and let you know.

Well guess what bubba, he did play.

But WTF....I wasn't even talking to you and you make the snarky comment about Pruitt calling me. Maybe try less coffee, or meth, or whatever it is causing the issue.
