I’ve seen Brees at training camp and he might be 6′ in cleats and a helmet. It’s not like either Brees or Wilson haven’t dealt with this their entire careers. If Wilson gets in the right system (Brees wasn’t a superstar in SD) and gets the chance we will find out soon enough if he has the tools to compete. Height (or lack thereof) won’t be the issue.

Why isn’t he scrutinized the way Tebow is referring to God?

He won’t have to worry because of the sound of his progress compared to Tarvaris Jackson and Matt Flynn’s.

Like Flutie, he might become a very good drop kicker.

The guy played behind the massive Badgers’ o-line. He shouldn’t have any trouble seeing anything

No tall task for him to beat up on the niners, rams and cards. Especially the niners though.

Some fool said he threw alley-oop passes in college. That person never saw Russell play a game. I saw every snap of his college career and I saw a bona fide QB. His overall game is better than Luck and RG3. RG3 throws a slightly better deep ball, but Wilson’s IQ trumps them both.

woodyg apparently never saw Wilson play in college. I can’t speak to his play at NC State, but he was awesome against much better competition than the ACC at Wisconsin. No ally-oops and very few ints. Only 1 fumble all year. He has everyting any coach would want in a qb, except height. There are a bunch of taller NFL qb’s who you wouldn’t want on your kid’s flag football team, who, for whatever reason, stay on NFL rosters. T-Jack for example.

Michael Vick is untall himself, his inconsistent success is for numerous other reasons though including his effed up grey matter.

He threw alot of alley-oop passes in college for big gains. In the NFL those same passes are picked off. If he wants a 10+ year career in the NFL he needs to find a more appropriate position. QB is a team’s most vital position. You simply can’t be average at QB for any team without being replaced after just a short while.

Isn’t Drew Brees the same height?

Doesn’t seem to stop him.

I’m 5’10″ and I never got the opportunity to pursue my dream of being an NFL quarterback, but I can’t honestly blame that on my height. So, I’ll blame it on my agent. I feel better.

Russell will put his fate in the hands of the Lord. Who looks down on him from above. Just like everyone else looks down on him from above.

Russell “the muscle” Wilson is going to be a stud in the NFL I think. Just not sure if it will be with the Seahawks with Flynn there.

Always liked this kid, and I think he’ll make the most of his opportunity to play in the NFL.

He shouldn’t be worried about things he can’t control.
