That’s great and all but we are talking about NFL careers. I don’t care what they can do in the CFL, USFL, or arena football. NFL players are bigger stronger and faster. PJ Walker was a XFL star to give you an idea of how different the leagues are…

Thanks for the education...am so glad someone thought that I might not know these things.

Flutie had no choice. 

His NFL stats were still 15k yards and 92 TD's. 

My point, was and still is, a small frame can have a long career. 

gotcha. still thin threads backing the argument, but then i think it's kind of an overall thin argument against. i just don't know that it's worth the attention that has been given it. i asked before and i don't think anyone answered it...where is the line where it's no longer dangerous? where is the line for too small vs. just big enough and what makes it a line worth drawing?

You and I both know it has less to do with the size of the player, and more of how they play. When it comes to quarterbacks, I don't care how big they are, they won't survive behind a bad line. 

If you were to hold a gun to my head and ask me to choose,  I'd say whichever is going to have the greater career, and win the most championships. Which really means, I don't know, but I trust in our guys.

Why in your opinion are there not more qbs that are sub 6ft if a small frame doesnt matter?

Opportunity.   Plus the ones like Johnny Football were just great pieces of trash.  

I'm not arguing I'd prefer a smaller QB, but I think most of you whom are arguing about his size, are ignoring the talent and natural leader he is. Not all QBs are that way. In fact, most of the greats don't have protypical size.

I mean you are comparing CFL players to the NFL so yeah a lot of people are going to think you don’t know these things. Keep grasping for straws though. So far it’s only hurt your argument. 
Young has great traits but our HC has says his durability in relation to his size IS a concern. Will it prevent him from going 1? I don’t think so, but ignoring it because a CFL player made it work 30 plus years ago isn’t the best strategy…

He is a great leader and has tremendous talent. He is going early in the first (possibly 1) despite his size concerns. However his size IS concerning regardless.

Flutie played in the NFL also. So whom doesn't know what he's talking about?

Fact is, Flutie had a very LONG career as a pro QB. Winning multiple championships in Canada, before finally given an opportunity in the NFL. 

Spi. That how you want,  he was 5'10, 180lbs, and had a long healthy pro career.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
