Quote:Then why are the vast majority of good NFL QBs over 6'?? They just happen to have talent and work ethic at a muuuuch higher rate than the short guys? Size does matter, but it shouldn't eliminate you from consideration if you don't have perfect size.

Because the vast majority of NFL QB's are only allowed to play QB if they are over 6 foot tall. This is a silly question. If you were 5'9" and good (say like Flutie), you don't get an easy shot at the NFL, you would go undrafted, have to go to the CFL, and try to work your way to an NFL team. Most successful NFL QB's are over six foot because the NFL wants QB's over six foot. It really is that simple.
