McNamara Done

[guffus]

McNamara career

2019 -redshirt -0 games
2020 - 4 games - covid year
2021 - 14 games
2022 - 3 games - got beat out as starter then got hurt and did not finish the season
2023 - 5 games -got hurt and did not finish the season
2024 - 8 games - got "hurt" and did not finish the season

Total - 6 years, 34 games

Compared to say Spencer Petras

2018 - redshirt, 2 games
2019 - 3 games
2020 - 8 games - Covid year
2021 - 12 games, was hurt for 2 games in middle of season
2022 - 12 games - got hurt in last regular season game.
2023 - no games
2024 - 9 games

Total, 7 seasons, 46 games, but I am not sure if 2023 counts as a season.

Both guys were screwed up by Covid and injuries. But if McNamara wants to finish his career at a school like Utah St, I guess there is a precedent there.

But You know, the guy I actually feel bad for is Nate Stanley. The guy really only got 3 years to play. Never got a redshirt. Never got hurt either.

Mac was injured during his entire stay with the Hawkeyes. He never really had a chance. He tried really hard. Just buzz off with the critique. He has more guts than any of us.

He was hurt before coming to iowa. Caveat emptor.
