My whole point for the pic is to show the consequences of having an over-sized QB. That was 6'5" Dan McGwire (the younger brother of A's/Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire). He ZERO mobility and couldn't do much of anything to get the Seahawks into the end zone.
A short quarterback, on the other hand, brings up all sorts of opportunities for misdirection on the part of the offense? You believe that tired old myth that a short QB can't be successful because he "can't see over the line?" Hogwash. The line's job is to create passing lanes, plus there are always rollouts, bootlegs, and waggles. (Yes, there IS a difference between a bootleg and a waggle). There have been all sorts of successful short QBs, even at the NFL level. (LeBaron, Haden, and Flutie come immediately to mind.)

Yes SH I know Flutie never played for the ,Seahawks just used him as an example of a sub 6-0 tall ,QB that had some success in the NFL.Yes the Offensive line's job ,is to create passing lanes but,eventually those lanes will be clogged up by opposing D-lineman and tall linebackers,and bat down his attempts.Not every tall
QB was a athletic stiff ,like McGwire.Eventually the defense will get to him.
