In response to "FWIW, I was a huge supporter of Wilson heading into the draft. Johnny Football is too small for the NFL." by David

It'll really depend on his actual height, I think. If he really is 5' 10" or below, I don't think he can be a legitimate NFL QB.

If he's 6', then he's got a shot.

if someone has skill, two inches won't make a difference. - zork Jan 2, 10:33 9
- As good as Flutie was, he had to deal with height issue constantly. - Inigo Jan 2, 10:39 1
  - and especially so if you are talking about drafting him early. - groiny Jan 2, 10:40
- How long ago did Flutie last play? - groiny Jan 2, 10:37 6
  - I don't worry about passes being blocked anywhere near as much as I worry about the beating he will take. - David Jan 2, 10:39 5
    - It's real hard to say what he's going to do...because for every negative about him, you can come up with a positive. - Jim Jan 2, 10:43 1
      - I absolutely believe in his talent. He's like Bugs Bunny out there. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:52
    - if a guy can move, he won't be blocked often at all. -- nm - zork Jan 2, 10:41 2
      - Vick can move better than Flutie and is bigger than Flutie. He still has been crushed and thereby often injured. -- nm - David Jan 2, 10:46
      - I will say, if there is a time for him to succeed in the NFL, now is that time. - groiny Jan 2, 10:43
One of the Sports Center guys mentioned while they were marking out over the game... - David Jan 2, 10:33 2
- My brother swears that Ray Lewis is around 5' 10". - Inigo Jan 2, 10:48 1
  - for sure, they do not need to throw over behemoths to succeed. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 10:48
