Wow, why are this year's QBs all smallish for the position?

Pickett 6'2"

Willis/Howell/ Corral 6'

Carson Strong at 6'4" will be there and will be ready! He's the outlier in this class.

 

Look at the best young QBs in the NFL. Most don't fit that 6'4" model. Hell, most great QBs don't period. Ideally, sure you'd love for your QB to be 6'4"+. But a ton of great QBs were shorter than that and I'll take elite skills and instincts over an elite measuring tape all day everyday. Elite skills and instincts will make for a great QB whether he's 6' or 6'5"

Tom Brady 6'3"

Matthew Stafford 6'3" 

Patrick Mahomes 6'3"

These are our most recent greats. Size matters. Especially in the NFL.

6' QBs just don't hold up for long especially if they are lightweight. Look at RG3, Tua struggling, Kyler Murray struggling. Limitations become that much more amplified in the NFL.

IF Sam Howell was bigger he'd be more highly regarded, but when you come in under 6' that really hurts an NFL prospect.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
