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.

      What we had then, what we have now...

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      https://x.com/4thand1show/status/1975274357174784272?s=46   saw this this morning and came to post something similar. I didn’t just love the team or the wins, I loved those dudes man. They put everything they had out there every Sunday. You didn’t see a rep where anybody on that field was low effort in that era, and if you did they were quickly sent packing.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      …is Brycen Tremayne with 108 yards. Not sure what that tells us but I imagine it’s some sort of gumbo consisting of the following: - Bryce can’t push the ball downfield  - contrary to what many were saying this offseason, the wr still needs a lot of work.  - we need Coker back badly.  - Brycen is pretty good! Congrats to that young man! Curious to hear other’s read on it. Was a pretty surprised to see he had more yards than anyone other than Tet and thought that was symptomatic of our issues on offense.

      I don’t think many fans would have guessed the Chiefs and Ravens would be where they are right now. Same goes for some surprise packages like the Colts, I’m not sure many would have put money on them being top of their division after five weeks. It’ll be interesting to see if this continues!   Not necessarily. The Chargers have lost both starting OL and their 1st and 2nd choice RBs. They fell apart against Washington. The Broncos have just beat the Eagles, so they’d be my favourite in that division, but they are still only one win ahead of the Chiefs. All the Chiefs need is a couple of results to go their way and they’ll be right in the fight for the AFC East. I think that division is going to be very close and probably not a 12 or 13 win division like predicted. Unless of course the Broncos kick on.
