Typical Chad comment 😎
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.

Flutie was an inspiration. Didn’t he win several Grey Cup championships in the CFL? Plus, side note, I think he might have been the last NFL player to complete a drop kick.

You and KTO posted a video on the same topic at the same time! What a coincidence!
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.
Another fantastic gem by NFL Throwback. Great work!!!!

Doug Flutie was definately one of the smallest, but damn what an arm. It pisses me of he got benched in Buffalo in the playoffs for a much less talented QB. No wonder he went into broadcasting for college.

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.
Not only do tall QBs have long throwing motions, but since they can tower above their O Linemen DBs and linebackers can more easily read their eyes.

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.
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.
4:48 lmao
Show this video to John Elway this is a perfect video for him
Pat Hayden didn’t start in the Super Bowl vs the Steelers. Vince Ferragamo started.
Missed the manlet, Johnny Manziel, who measured 5'11" at the combine. His lack of height was a deciding factor in the NFL as the linesmen are now much taller than the '60s-'80s. Too Tall Jones really stood out but now he wouldn't be that much taller than average.
Bro kto just made a video on this same topic lol
I’m tryna cop one of those Dave brown jerseys
Should've included Trevor Lawrence, even though he is a rookie he is still "notable" cool vid tho
Does Size Matter? Absolutely. It just isn't the end all be all. If a quarterback is that good, they don't need to be 6'5 to succeed
@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.
I’m not gonna lie when kyler Murray got drafted I thought he would get crushed by defenses and not live up to much but I was wrong and now he’s one of the most exciting guys to watch

Kyler Murray is a beast. It's a shame he's one of the shortest qb out there. He has to throw higher over the 6 feet defenders. But still, he's special.

Has to throw it higher yet still is the most accurate qb rn
Kinda weird how Paxton Lynch is like, my second or third cousin ((my mom is a lynch, they’re all tall as hell)) and I’ve never ever even seen his face
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.

So if you're taller than Matt Stafford and can throw a ball with power and precision, you're better off playing another sport.

I refuse to believe that Kyler Murray is 5'10". I know that is his reported height, but that is 100% a lie. He can't be any taller than 5'7". Antonio Brown is 5'10" and he looks way taller than Kyler Murray. Stop lying NFL.
