I remember when QBs were taller than this.

Pocket immobile QBs needed to be taller. 6'5-6'6 was more the norm.
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

But then might it be a liability ,or at least a challenge, to be a particularly tall QB in an era of more QB running designed or otherwise? But then, I suppose if your'e  good athlete and smart enough it doesn't really matter.

Cheers!

One of the issues Baker Mayfield has is that defenses learned if they can keep him in the pocket, he struggles to see (over the large linemen in front of him) downfield.

Interesting idea.  I guess much like tall RBs, you have longer legs that are more exposed to injury
