He is short, has great feet, has an accurate arm. He does well with roll out pass plays to get vision. Older, smarter than most rookies. Nah,nothing like Wilson. BTW Wilson was 23 when drafted.

Freaks, I just do not want a short QB. No way now how. Have you seen the deep drops that Russell Wilson has to take to see the field? It worked with Brees because NO always invested heavily in G C G so that he could see the field without deep drops all the time.

If Bennett and Young even somehow grow to 6' I will be extremely surprised.

I do not want to design an offense around the limitations of our QB.

Brees had 172 wins in his career.

Wilson has 107

If ybou dont want a guy who wins games wtf do you want?

Those three years are a massive difference when talking about a rookie QB.

More experience, not a bad thing.

Fran Tarkington and Joe Thiesmann were both 6 foot (allegedly)....Somebody will take him for sure, and I think he may do very well! I don't think we will, but if we decide to draft for another position with our #1, I say pick him!

Tarkenton and Theismann are both unrestricted free agents ...... I wouldn't mind seeing either one of them play QB for the Colts next season.

But can they get an off campus pass from their nursing homes on Sundays?

Ballard doesn’t draft short guys.

Polian was able to draft whoever he wanted because he had Peyton Manning
