What is everyone's obsession with tall QB's???

He's not very tall but he put together a great season in Mississippi. He's more than likely going to Southern Miss the same school his father and legendary Uncle (beat the Pats tomorrow, please!!!) went to.

why not take him

they can see over the offensive and defensive lines better

If he's 6'-0" then he's tall enough. He'll play NFL someday, if he doesn't get hurt.

Brett Favre is listed at 6'-2", Doug Flutie was listed at 5'-10" (although he went undrafted). Joe Montana was 6'-2".

They don't all have to be 6'-5 to throw the ball but 5'-10" will probably be considered too short.

they'll move him to slot receiver ...

I think the real question is can he throw INT's like his Uncle Favre?

Not to mention, generally taller is 'bigger'..can take more punishment than someone 5'10 or so. Remember those DBs are HUGE...I wouldn't want someone 6'4 and 300lbs falling on ME..lol

They generally can see over their offensive line to see which receiver is open. It also helps when they get sacked so they don't crumble at the first hit.

Favre's nephew is not Brett...who cares.

He is ok. They run the spread offense, w/o alot of running. He should get some D1 offers.

Drew Brees is the only one on this list worth a damn. Maybe Doug Flutie but that's about it.

He might play or might not...he's just not sure at the moment

why do I care about this article? This article and my post is a waste of space...

Exactly and Flutie's best years were NORTH of the border.

"Size does matter, your wife told me that after you left for work!"

Oh damn that's funny!!!!!

And why do some think he will play in the NFL? Chris Leak tore up the high school football field as well. So have many others that never got any closer than the stands to an NFL field.
