Guys don't need to be 6'4 and have a rocket arm.
Obviously some teams still like that style. But we're seeing more and more smaller guys have success when coaches can build an offense around them.

A guy can have all the "physical traits" and lack skill and playmaker ability. See: Russel, Jamarcus; Gabbert, Blaine; 
Hell... Blake is a big guy.... he's not good.
Baker is a "shorter" guy, he already looks better than Blake.

Time will tell with all these guys... but give me a guy with good accuracy and was a "winner" in college and a smart HC/OC.

Being taller, bigger, and having a stronger arm is better than not having those traits.  That is not negated because some tall, big, strong-armed QBs have failed in the past.  Gabbert shrinks under pressure.  Bortles throws a ball liked a wounded duck.  Those are limitations they were unable to consistently overcome.  Almost every QB has limitations and the more you have the worse off you are.  The question is can their other positive attributes allow them to overcome them.
