We know he’s short but since he’s not a pro style pocket guy I don’t think we care

Which is good.


I understand what you're saying, but he's still going to have to throw from the 'pocket', so we do care he can be successful throwing from the pocket. Not every pass play can be a roll-out.

He's going to have to be a Fran Tarkenton type of thrower(Now I am really dating myself).
Maybe I should have said Russell Wilson type......

Point being he’s not a one trick pony. So if he’s going to be a pocket passer (like Sean White, infamous for the height debate on this board) then we tend to nitpick quite a bit more on height, weight, arm slot, etc

We’re just collectively traumatized by pocket passers, basically

Most shorter QBs don't have issues throwing from the pocket so the concern from some fans on this is overblown.

Yup! Seen that comparison with DD although RW has a stronger arm.
