How good was Jimmy Mac? Read this article

I've posted it before, but figured, since this is his week...

Only Houston's David Klingler threw more TD passes in a season, but he had 643 pass attempts to McMahon's 445. Only Andre Ware, Tim Rattay, Cliff Kingsbury, Klingler and BYU's Ty Detmer have thrown for more yards.

Again, all of them had significantly more pass attempts than McMahon. Of that group, Rattay had the fewest attempts — 559, which is still 114 more than McMahon.

"The remarkable thing is that the guy didn't play a full game," says former BYU coach LaVell Edwards. "He got yanked. Most of the time he didn't play in the fourth quarter. It was a sore point. Our quarterback coach would hide from me in the second half because he didn't want me to take (McMahon) out. And contrary to perception, we weren't throwing the ball 60 times a game like some of these teams nowadays."
