In the NFL, the focus is on arm talent not so much physical measurable, & this is throughout history from Montana, Young, Moon, Farve, etc. Most of ur QBs are between 6’2-6’3.
The avg. starting QB measurable right now is 6’2 1/3 & 222 lbs. Are there some talented, iconic 6’5+ QBs in NFL history? Yes, but the vast majority of them have been bust. For the Peytons, Big Bens, Trevors, Josh Allens of the world, you have the Dan McGwire, Brock Osweiler, Tyler Bray, Derek Anderson, Josh Freeman, JaMarcus Russell, Tony Pike, Ryan Mallet, Ryan Leaf, John Skelton, Blaine Gabbert, Matt Jones, etc. etc. etc.
Just speaking with a former scout, I was told while big QBs are tempting, a lot of them have mechanical issues, & bad habits b/c usually they are unstoppable; but at the same time, they don’t learn proper mechanics b/c of being unstoppable. The combine kinda expose said mechanical issues. That’s y seeing Manning have not only the quick release, but velocity with accuracy at his height is a phenomenon.
Just wanted to give some in depth clarity about what a “prerequisite” QB looks like b/c I know that’s been a hot discussion. If Judd at 6’6 can spin it w/ accuracy, & and show athleticism, then he’ll fa sho be a NFL guy; but, to be blunt & frank…I don’t see it, just like I didn’t see it w/ Gary Crow who was being championed, Preston Dewey, Jake Garcia. I did think Jack Allison was going to be a guy here, but wooof. So we’ll see w/ Judd, but I’m iffy on him based upon HS tape.
