Always nice when the paid whore tells you you're handsome. Urbs was sucking off Lanning and the Ducks the other day, too, just fyi.

Still, Demond is a talent, though I wouldn't say he's "exactly" what you look for in a QB because he's short. I've seen him at street level and 5'11" feels generous, as football rosters tend to be. Short can work, but I have a documented bias against QBs under 6'2" (the Joe Montana cut-off).

Don't care. That's why they call it a bias. You view things that don't conform to the bias as exceptions.

Always important to keep context in mind, though, when responding to comments down here in America. Urbs said the guy is exactly what you look for in a QB. Do you look for shortness in QBs? I don't. It's something that the player has to overcome and the position is hard enough to play as it is. If you were building the perfect QB, I'd assume you would avoid physical limitations that the QB has to overcome. Here, as with the case of all QBs under 6 ft, they can't see very well standing in the pocket.

6'2" is the perfect threshold for perfect.

Obviously few extra inches would help as my wife can attest.

Demond being a legit 6 foot or a hair under 6’2 wouldn’t hurt but the college game isn’t the NFL. He has what many “experts” describe as elite arm talent and his athleticism is also elite. He’s got similar traits as Russell Wilson his first 5-6 years in the pros. Once Russ lost his burst/speed and athleticism he became sub par and he’s sucked the past 6 years.

It’s easy to poo poo the Heisman winning qbs in the NFL but that doesn’t matter at UW. Tua at Alabama was elite like Bryce Young, in the pros their measurables hurt their game and they have a ceiling.
