Am I just taking crazy pills or does 2-4 inches not make that huge of a difference when it comes to QBs? I know people are like, "But they can't see the whole field!" I think that, sure, some QBs are the same height as their offensive linemen and I just can't see that small differential being a huge advantage.

Maybe the reason Grossman throws so many picks is because he can't see over his linemen's heads?

Honestly I have no idea but it all depends on the quarterback I think. Some might struggle with it and others might not.

Only two things scare me and one of them is nuclear war.

What's the other?

Small hands.
