How often do we even see QBs line up under center these days? If you see a QB under center it's probably a QB sneak.

Just saying, it limits your offense.  Will it be an issue? Who knows. I guess as they beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

I'm significantly more concerned about his slight frame than I am his height. We've seen QBs of similar height have a lot of success. I mean, we all watched Drew Brees. I'm more concerned about him holding up long-term to NFL hits.

That too. It's a even bigger gamble taking him at #1, although he's probably the best of the class as far as pro readiness.

Batted balls have nothing to do with height. There isn’t bay data that indicates that short QBs get balls batted at the line more than tall QBs.

But there are statistical facts that the league leaders in batted passes the last 3 seasons were at Least 6’4

Batted balls everywhere. 

The last month I've been saying, when the combine/pro day happens and teams get an up close look at his stature it's not too far fetched to think he might slide to 9. 

Height barely has anything to do with batted balls.  Josh Allen had the most batted balls this past season.  Cam always seemed to have a decent bit batted down even.  It relies a lot more on the oline and the qb ability to find a passing lane than height.

I mean Bama has the nearest thing to an NFL OL that exists in college football. Was never an issue.    It’s not like we haven’t seen 6ft QBs before.   Either you can play or you can’t.  

So what if he plays with an offensive line that isn't one of the best. Also NFL defenses are different than anything he's ever faced. I don't feel comfortable having a QB that size in the NFL regardless of how well he can throw the ball. But if he falls to 9, I guess you have to take him. That won't happen though

and scheme/predictability.  If JJ Watt knows what the play is too often....he can get in the passing lane and time it.  You can be Yao Ming at QB.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
