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.  

I don't know that to be true anymore.
Bigger guys are slower guys.
The NFL is evolving.... the QB no longer has to be the big pocket passer of days past. I think we'll see a lot more of the 6 ft even guys being successful in these offenses that move the pocket and get the ball out quick to WRs and RBs that get YAC.

Then again... maybe it's a fad that fades in a few seasons.
