    Aaron Rodgers was criticized for being too short and he's 6-2.

    Russell Wilson is 5'11", tell me how many teams would not draft him in the first round now?

    I think in this day and age with the mobile QB and the style of the game, their height is not as big a deal, but they have to have the right system in place. You cannot draft Mazeil and then stick him in a traditional drop back system like what was prevalent up until the last few years. Mind you Brees is only a quarter inch taller and he has thrived as a pocket QB.

    I personally think he'll be fine as long as he has the right personnel around him, just like every other QB in the NFL. Regardless, I think he has a better chance of being a Wilson than a Ponder and completely flame out.

    I think Manziel will be fine as well, but comparing every undersized QB to Wilson and Brees seems silly. It's like when every undersized power forward is compared to Charles Barkley or when every quarterback who throws off his back foot is compared to Brett Favre.

    Men under 6 feet tall are boys.

    Drew Brees packs a lot into that quarter-inch he has on Manziel.

    It's science. You wouldn't understand.

    Whatever. Are they going to measure and report which guy has the longest weiner, too?

    It's better than watching a bunch of fake sports performed by amateur athletes followed by people who don't even like sports.

    It's probably the only body part they don't measure...

    I believe that according to the science, with the sub-6'0" measurement Johnny Manziel is going to have one hell of a time breaking through on Match.com.
