Reed said he's at 182, looking to play at 187. We all wanted to see him get significantly bigger this offseason and it doesn't look like that happened. Should this be a real concern?

I don't think it's a concern. We probably all wish he was 220 and kept the same speed and elusiveness but that's not his body type. Think Reggie McNeal. He couldn't gain weight either. Some genetics just don't allow for it. I think what he should be focused on is not taking unnecessary hits. Focus on picking up the sticks and getting down. I'm much more interested in his arm strength and accuracy than his weight.
it is what it is. Why be concerned? It won't change a thing.
The real concern is his throwing mechanics
Has he made any progress on his motion?

He was probably closer to 165# last year. I find it hard to believe that he went all off season and gained 2lbs.
He knew he was qb1 for this coming year. I'm sure he put in work and will be a better version of himself this year.

I think 187 will be fine to play at. He looked like he barely cracked 160 last year.
But how thin are his ankles?

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Elko was stealing food off his plate.
is it his throwing motion or his feet that won't stay on the ground when he releases the ball?

For sure Elko knows the business end of a fork.
Why is his weight a concern. Does anyone have any actual data of the pros and cons of a QBs weight? I've watched football a long time and don't think I can say that an extra 10 lbs has ever actually helped a quarterbackaggieland28 said:

Maybe he can just carry around a couple of 10# weights in some special pockets. Everyone will be happy and success will be guaranteed.
I was at the "celebrity" softball game with my kiddos and can confirm his ankles look like toothpicks. It made me do a double take because of how skinny they looked.
I miss the days when our QBs looked SEC ready.
Was it confirmed or not that based upon his feet placement pre snap that it was a run or pass?
If yes and he fixes that then probably another win to get us to 7-5.

Reggie was 198 at the combine and I'm not sure he ever looked as skinny as Reed. That said, I don't think Reed's weight is our biggest issue.

Roster says he's 5 lbs heavier than last year. As long as he's in great shape that all that matters to me. Don't need a QB showing up looking like he had the whacky weed munchies all off season.
Craver is 165 lbs. This might freak out the OP.

The fish pond manager says that Reed got up to 189 this summer, but chose to cut weight because it made him look fat.
Yea thanks for this example. We got the guy who "Looked SEC Ready" and got rid of the guy who was too small for the SEC. Look how that turned out. Reed's weight is the least of our concerns.
Reed's weight is way overblown on texags
What will determine how he does is how accurate he is
And if he makes his reads and goes through his progressions correctly

That qb got hurt also... You just never know

He has a pretty pronounced flash when he releases the ball.
Not as bad as he did when he was in high school, but it's still bad.
Pretty detrimental to accuracy.

This
If he is in the mid 180's, he will have MUCH more muscle and be more durable than last season.

QBs shouldnt be ripped or have guns like a MLB.
Reed is certainly a talented Quarterback, but I was certainly hoping he'd come back this season looking more like Jalen Hurts! Got to admit he still looks a little fragile.
I'm more concerned with how he progressed as a passer this offseason.
I'd like him to get bigger though.

Huh? Are you saying a good wrist snap is a bad thing?

So, unlike Sydney Sweeney, Reed doesn't have good jeans.

His weight will matter if he doesn't pan out at throwing the ball and we have to move him to nose tackle.
You don't make it through SEC schedule weighing like you're a freshmen in highschool. How much do the backups weigh?
For comparison, Kyler Murray was listed at 5'-10" and 207. He seemed smaller.
They still serve Chick Fil A and pints of Blue Bell in the Sbsia Underground, right? No excuses!

I'd be shocked if he's ever even been there.
