  1. I mean, Brees was a sub 6' guy too(although they listed him as 6 foot). It is not a worry if you are an elite player. Even Flutie Flakes was able to succeed at the NFL level at his height. All QB's still need throwing lanes and different QB's play the game in a way that maximizes their abilities so they can be successful. All these sub-6 QB's we are talking about have had more NFL success that easily 80+% of 6-3 or better NFL QB's. That's why I keep beating this horse. It isn't about measurables, it's about abilities. That extends well beyond the QB position. Xavier Legette has elite abilities and measurables. Yet a slight little midget with no where near the athleticism is an infinitely better WR(McConkey). Jonathan Mingo is way more athletic than Puka Nacua. How is that working out? Never hyperfocus on measurables. It's a small part of a much bigger picture.
  2. I do think his below average arm strength is an issue because his footwork is still fuged up too often. He isn't one of these guys that can arm throw his way out of trouble. He doesn't have a true noodle arm but it is in the bottom quarter of the NFL. I do agree that his confidence and field reading ability are much larger issues.
  3. https://www.newsweek.com/sports/ncaa/lane-kiffin-pockets-major-bonus-after-ole-miss-cfp-win-over-georgia-11295783 The fact he got LSU to pay him bonuses for Ole Miss winning games is so bananas. LSU really is an insanely stupid school.
  4. There is an advantage to a player having the ability to extend plays with their feet to allow guys to get open. Bryce had that in droves and to an extent he still does. I think the biggest knock is that he doesn't have great ability to threaten with his feet, however. McNabb could do that, Wilson could do that, Lamar is insanely dangerous, Murray can do that, etc, etc. But, there is also a fine line between extending plays to throw downfield and getting yourself in an even more difficult spot. Bryce tends to do the latter too frequently. The lack of serious scrambling ability(he isn't inept here, it's just a lower tier ability) hamstrings his scrambling around to get guys open. They don't have to worry about him gashing them for big yardage because he isn't an elite athlete. He is average, at best.
  5. Historically, he has struggled against(only including sub 50 yd games): Buffalo(1 Game): 6 Targets, 3 Rec, 20 Yds, 1 TD Indianapolis(1 Game): 9 Targets, 5 Rec, 46 Yds Kansas City(1 Game): 4 Targets, 2 Rec, 10 Yds Miami(1 Game): 7 Targets, 4 Rec, 47 Yds, 1 TD Pittsburgh(1 Game): 5 Targets, 3 Rec, 40 Yds Tampa(7 Games): 49 Targets(5.57/GM), 25 Rec(3.6/GM), 273 Yds(39.0/GM), 0 TD
  6. But they exist in that space precisely because they were the outliers with big arms and other elite traits(especially athletically). I would never look past a sub 6 foot QB with a similar profile to those guys. That's basically what I mean. My list of prospects is never going to auto delete based on stature. It's definitely a reason to take a more in depth look to make sure they are going to translate. Bryce fooled me with his playmaking ability. I thought it was going to translate well, ignored all his throwing mechanics issues and gave more credit to his abilities than the superstar team around him. I am not going to do that again.
  7. I don't put them high on my list of teams I want to see win but the storyline of them winning a title without him would be epic. Especially if he(hopefully) whiffs repeatedly on it at LSU.
  8. It's a small group to begin with(pun intended). I don't care about the height(to a point). I want to see if you are an elite QB or have elite QB tools. The one thing I will say is that I am definitely done with below average to significantly below average arm strength. Bryce cured me of that. Honestly, similarly with QB's with poor footwork. Those should be Day 3 guys.
  9. I will say, Chambliss was out there looking like dimestore Donovan McNabb. I don't think his arm talent is in the McNabb/Wilson territory is the only hiccup. He did remind me a bit of those guys, scrambling around back there.
  10. The height poo is dramatically overplayed. Just get someone with elite arm talent and other elite skillsets. There are plenty of elite 6 foot or under NFL QB's historically. I mean this board is simping left, right and center for backup NFL players like Willis and Howell and both of them are barely 6 feet. Just get players with elite NFL QB traits and abilities.
  11. It was the only watchable game of the day. Chambliss might have jumped his draft stock.
  12. Yeah, who wants Lamar Jackson? Midget.
  13. Lol...with an Achilles injury?? I doubt you even see him play football in 2026.
  14. I don't think Mack providing a little more pop to the Alabama offense did Ty Simpson's draft stock any favors. I am extremely skeptical of him as an elite NFL prospect. I really don't see it.
