    This is quite the coincidence. You guys release a video about short and tall quarterbacks and KTO does the same less than an hour later. I’m not suggesting foul play since it takes both you and KTO longer than an hour to make a high-quality video, but it is interesting. I’m certainly not complaining.

    It’s not about height, but more about certain qualities that are rarer with shorter QBs. It’s about durability, throwing power, field vision, and larger hands for ball security. If a shorter QB has all of those qualities near the top of the list, height wouldn’t matter at all. Even if a guy was 5’6 if they could throw 70 yard passes, make good decisions, take all hits, and hold onto the ball it really wouldn’t matter.

    I don’t think size matters anymore about how quarterbacks should look and how some of them didn’t let their height affect their ability to play the quarterback position. They will use it as an inspiration. At least, they have the arm strength, athleticism, speed, agility, agile, and potential. They will either be a pure pocket passer or a dual-threat quarterback.

      It’s not about height but more so about certain qualities that are more common with height. Field vision, durability, arm strength etc. If a 5’10 QB can see the field just fine behind their O-Line, is tough with no injuries, and can throw the ball 70 yards it would make no difference if he was 6’6.
