Does Size Matter? A Look at the Tallest & Shortest QBs in NFL History

[@ndrocca]

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.

He neglected to mention Flutie's 3 Grey Cup championships and 2 6000+ yard seasons in Canada. He could have done so much more in the NFL if he'd been given the chance and was allowed to play his type of game.

[@meejinhuang]

OLine and DLinemen have gotten taller over the years and the combine evaluates height as a key factor for an NFL QB. However, K Murray was rated very well in the combine.

[@worldtree2027]

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.

[@worldtree2027]

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.

[@moistoast2298]

[@bjnt922]

Although Russell Wilson has sort of already did it. If the Cardinals win the Super Bowl Kyler Murray will forever eliminate height as a requirement to be a star NFL QB. It will become more of a preference than a prerequisite. And more sub 6 ft QBs will get a chance in the league.

I couldn't even make it halfway through. Mike Glennon was in the ACC but rather at Virginia Tech. And Russ Wilson suited up in red and white but at Wisconsin not NC State. And calling American League pitcher Mark Prior a slugger was about the only way to inaccurately acknowledge his HOF caliber

[@josiahwilliams1441]

Size doesnt matter with in reason depending on system. If you play in space then hight seems to be a non facter. But if you play pro style or no more than 3 wide most cases then you would probably venture towards a taller QB. But weight is a little different and speed plays a factor forsure. The perfect physical specimen to me would be Cam Newton. That doesnt involve cognitive aspects. Just physically. (speed arm size etc)
