[QUOTE="potatohead, post: 741427, member: 107"] Weird that people point to Brees and Wilson as examples of why you don't have to be tall to play well at QB. The reason people can rattle off a bunch of short, successful QBs is because they're an aberration. They're unique and not the normal. Incidentally, those two guys both won the SB and will go down as great quarterbacks. If Yates played like either of them, I don't think our coaches would say "but he's not tall enough". I think they'd be over the moon with excitement. That isn't to say he won't start, and maybe he'll be a Brees or Wilson, but guys like that are the extreme exception not the rule. It's like pointing to Mugsy Bogues when a 5'3" PG dreams of the NBA. I mean, is it possible? I guess, but it's an extreme edge case. That said, I'd be thrilled with Yates as a starter. I just want a clear starter, getting 1st team snaps, etc. Someone to rally behind as a fan base and team. [/QUOTE]
