First: I am amazed at the train wreck that this thread has become. The hate amongst many of you is disgusting. This is a sport, you're all fans, you have real lives separated from this. Put 100 people in a room and interview them about the franchise individually, there will be 100 depending different outlooks not a single one will be identical.
Second: What's with the everyone's obsessions with these men's bodies? I'm sorry but many of the best football players of the game have not been immaculate chiseled body types or people with massive muscle mass. In the more recent decades people like Jerome Bettis, big Ben, the Manning bros, Montana, Gore (always pudgy), Burfict, Brady, Marshawn, Rodgers, Winston, Stafford, Rivers, ect. Most of these players were very good in the NFL and many going to the HOF or in it. Athleticism comes in all different body types, some are just freaks. I remember running a mile and a half in about 10:15 at 5'8" 165 lbs around 10% bf, dude about 5'9" with a gut, skinny ass legs, looked Mr incredible like but fat running by me doing it in 9:03. Dude ran distance all the time it turned out and wrestled. Some bodies just look and work different, and id argue in a contact sport, extra weight if you can maint speed is a good thing. Sure there is an ideal weight, size, and muscle tone but it isn't 100%, especially when discussing the QB position. Look at Jimmy, dude is a brick house and is constantly injured. Some people's bodies mature very late as well, like mid 20's before they actually look like Men instead of children. Mac isn't in College anymore either and will be spending. 8-12 or more hours a day at the team facilities. He will be in an NFL workout program, his body WILL get stronger. Look at Nick Mullens, he himself said he became stronger and increased his arm strength while with the Niners since college. The body can and will always change, everyone knows that. I have worked out constantly since I was 14 years old. I was constantly stalky built like a box but never big, about 165-170 10-18% bf, definitely the higher end in College lol. I was 145 in high school 8% bf while playing base ball and racing motorcross. Once I hit 28 the Muscle started sticking, the workouts didn't change much, I'm now 226lbs about 13% BF, no bs steroids or HGH, my body just matured and I kept moderate workouts up. Reason I say all this is we know the body and mind changes. Don't put all your judgements on the simple appearance of someone.
Third: Mac has put good mechanics on tape, ability to take a hit and get up, good anticipation for routes, and accurate throws. If he's the pick I'm rooting hard for him because I love this team. If its Lance or fields I'm rooting hard for them because I love this team. Those dudes will look mean as hell in the uniform I'm sure. What's important though is that Kyle gets HIS guy not ours. He is the one that falls on the sword if it fails or claims his title if right. Have your favorites for sure but let's not burn each other to the ground.
Edit: I'm 35 now about 224 18% bf lol. Still working out but no way in hell I can run a 10:15 mile and half lolololololol. And beer is back in my diet just like in college lol.
