Quote:A QB who is 6'1" gets discounted immediately by scouts because Drew Brees is a rare exception. In the last 10 years we've had 2 short QBs be successful in the NFL and teams will not risk a high pick on a guy who doesn't fit the template. Assessments of players are based on their weaknesses because NFL coordinators are adept at forcing you to do what you aren't good at, and a guy who doesn't do anything exceptional doesn't last.

 

Edit: I'm not saying TB is a guy who doesn't do anything great, just talking in general terms.

 

I am just saying Drew Brees proved height alone should not be a deterrant when a quarterback has everything else he needs.

 

Quote:They've been trying to tear this kid down all season. Great kid from a humble background that is an all world talent. Then you see a brat like Johnny get propped up by the media all season, despite serious flaws in his game and the fact that every tackle he's ever played behind is a top 15 pick.

 

You know what the critics said about Johnny Manziel?

 

He is too short and skinny lol. Same complaint people have now about Bridgewater. So we can't say one is better than the other because of his size.

 

Every year people do this.During the season, somebody is hailed as one of the best players. After the bowl games, everyone says something bad about him. How do the players typically pan out in the NFL after that happens?
