Yeah. Obviously there's exceptions to everything, but seems like being big helps in the NFL like the old scouts thought back in the day
You can't be short AND skinny and play QB in the NFL. You can be short like Russ and Baker, but they are thicccc, not small. And, anyway, Russ and Baker are just good QBs, at best. It's tough to play QB when you're under 6 feet.

Everyone's like, "But Drew Brees." Brees is at least two inches taller than Bryce. Those two inches are massive. And that is what she said.

Early career Brees also had better arm talent than Young.

jfc #93 was lying in the ground to try to stop that, like a guy trying to stop a free kick

Philly about to be 4-0 with plenty of room for improvement.

Edit — but wait! Grounding,

Herbert has a 3rd down completion called complete. Then a ref from across the field comes flying in to call it incomplete, waving his arms like a bird.

Of course, Brandon had to challenge because it was a clear catch, and it was overturned.

Does the ref need to run across the field to overturn a call when he's wrong?

CMC is so good in this system. Ridiculous.

Purdy also with a great start so far. Nice deep ball to Aiyuk where only he could get it

Aiyuk makes acrobatic catches you don't see from many other WRs. I was thinking Purdy might be playing like Montana-lite, but maybe the lite could be removed? No, still way early. Also, Joe was a really good runner in his early years besides being a great passer and leader. Only one Joe Montana.

Fuck the refs for calling that ticky tack PI on Jakobi.

That is absurd. They never call that shit. They let stuff go that is 10x worse.
