The qb's height argument has never made sense,
i don't know. have you seen our O linemen? how are you going to be short, stay in the pocket, and read the routes?
Have you seen nfl Ol? There's been plenty of 6 ft qb's especially before the nfl started the prototype crap the last 15-20 years.It's all about throwing angles and release point. These shorter guys have been short their entire lives, if you can make all the throws is was matters.
In a perfect world I'd rather have a 6'5 qb with no flaws in his game but plenty of good qb's are overlooked because of an inch or two.
I said all along Russel Wilson was a first round talent but the gm's were too stupid to see it because of his height. I saw that kid from a freshmen on and he was a great " football player". That gets throw out the window these days.
I'm not saying you can put a 5'7 guy back there but acting like 6 ft is too short is nuts.
other then Drew Brees name another 6' pocket passer in the NFL
