#1 picks don’t sit on the bench.Until he proves it in the NFL, i'll only fear that mug if it's holding a tennis racket

I'm not buying the 6'6 or taller QBs can't be successful in the NFL.His mechanics are about as good as you can expect from a guy with his length .... There have been very few successful QB's taller than 6'5" and the mechanics is the simple why. Geometry working against them.
Guys that long just cannot create a compact delivery and as a result struggle , particularly when the pocket gets dirty.
He'll probably look great when the pocket is clean or he's out of the pocket but he's going to be a total mess when under pressure.

Those guys that didn't have success weren't much good to begin with.
30 Tallest Quarterbacks to Ever Play in the NFL
The average height of a quarterback in the NFL is 6’3”, with most falling in the 6’2” to 6’5” range. The NFL has had some successful tall QBs like Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, and Cam Newton, but the tallest QBs aren't necessarily the best, as the career of Dan McGwire shows.howtheyplay.com
The guy I don't know about was McGuire; otherwise, the others played about as expected.
One may even say that Schaub and Flacco overachieved.
There have been very few successful QB's taller than 6'5"
Nothing you said or provided undermines Corrosion's basic point:
76 basically provided the evidence even in. . .disagreement?
Two QB's 6'6" or taller have won superbowls .... Joe Flacco and Nick Foles.
Neither are really regarded as franchise types , they had great teams around them.
Their mechanics also support my geometry statement. Neither has a compact delivery that equates to a quick delivery / release of the ball.
They weren't succesful because they were no good, whether they might be 6'1 or 6'10.Nothing you said or provided undermines Corrosion's basic point:

Just playing devil's advocate. Not disagreeing with your overall point.
2 super bowl winners 6'6" or taller is statically high.
That's 3.6% of all SB victories.
Only 1% of men in the US are 6'4" or taller.
(I'm not great at math or statistics, someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)
Funny that we are familiar with at least three QBs on 76's list: Schaub, Osweiler, and Mallet. Obviously, only one of them was worth a hill of beans.
It's funny how you move the goal post from 6'5 to 6'6.His mechanics are about as good as you can expect from a guy with his length .... There have been very few successful QB's taller than 6'5" and the mechanics is the simple why. Geometry working against them.

You look at it the wrong way.When you look at it from that statistical view , yes that's a high figure ....
But when you look at it from the number of QB's 6'6" or taller who've played the game , its skewed the other way and its much more extreme .... only two out of thousands have reached the pinnacle of success.
13.2%?How many guys ever play NFL QB that are over 6'5 or 6'6 ?
He didn't move the goal post. It's about reading comprehension. He said taller than 6'5" from the beginning. He clarified 6'6" & taller because some guys were lumping 6'5" QBs in with their examples.It's funny how you move the goal post from 6'5 to 6'6.
Schaub is closer to 6'6 than 6'5 , from his combine measurement result.

"Taller than 6'5"
Is the same as
6'6" & taller
If Schaub is your best example, you've lost the argument.Schaub is taller than 6'5 but he ain't 6'6
The argument was about moving the goal post.If Schaub is your best example, you've lost the argument.
You just need to separate the arguments.
I knew better
I'm 6'5" and I am a shitty quarterback.
Point proven.

You can jump all the way to the end for a quick summary.
Can NFL Quarterbacks Really Be Too Tall?
Since 2000, 23 QBs have measured taller than 6-foot-5 at the combine. Just three went on to start more than 50 games. Why have these players struggled—and what could this mean for top prospects in this draft?www.google.com
The argument was about moving the goal post.
That's what the conclusion is for.I read the entire article and "the pros" have a lot to say about the subject from every angle. I do not see that article as exclusively supporting one side of the issue.
I don’t think Wentz is the same guy the Eagles drafted. Talented as heck, but injuries have taken their toll & he plays as if he’s the only guy who can make a play way too much.I've always rooted for TT, he's got his limits & Wentz has the more talented arm but i'm deducting pts for what i've read of the Eagles' locker & film rooms.

How many 6’6” QBs have lost a Super Bowl? And what are the major mechanical differences between a 6’5” and 6’6” QB?
Wise.Already said I'm not going down this rabbit hole .... you guys will blow every detail out of proportion. I'm done with it.

Wake me when we get to China.... I wanna return my bluetooth earbuds from whence...oh wait we're talking QBs... Im mean Wentz they came.
