How often do we even see QBs line up under center these days? If you see a QB under center it's probably a QB sneak.

Just saying, it limits your offense.  Will it be an issue? Who knows. I guess as they beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I'm significantly more concerned about his slight frame than I am his height. We've seen QBs of similar height have a lot of success. I mean, we all watched Drew Brees. I'm more concerned about him holding up long-term to NFL hits.

That too. It's a even bigger gamble taking him at #1, although he's probably the best of the class as far as pro readiness.

Batted balls have nothing to do with height. There isn’t bay data that indicates that short QBs get balls batted at the line more than tall QBs.

But there are statistical facts that the league leaders in batted passes the last 3 seasons were at Least 6’4

Batted balls everywhere. 

The last month I've been saying, when the combine/pro day happens and teams get an up close look at his stature it's not too far fetched to think he might slide to 9. 

Height barely has anything to do with batted balls.  Josh Allen had the most batted balls this past season.  Cam always seemed to have a decent bit batted down even.  It relies a lot more on the oline and the qb ability to find a passing lane than height.

I mean Bama has the nearest thing to an NFL OL that exists in college football. Was never an issue.    It’s not like we haven’t seen 6ft QBs before.   Either you can play or you can’t.  

So what if he plays with an offensive line that isn't one of the best. Also NFL defenses are different than anything he's ever faced. I don't feel comfortable having a QB that size in the NFL regardless of how well he can throw the ball. But if he falls to 9, I guess you have to take him. That won't happen though

and scheme/predictability.  If JJ Watt knows what the play is too often....he can get in the passing lane and time it.  You can be Yao Ming at QB.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
