All I can say is, that's a load of a quartback. 6'4" that's 285 pounds that could be a Lineman? Jeebus.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Lorenzen is the biggest QB in the league. I remember thinking about that when we played them in the pre-season.

I wonder if somebody can scrounge up a picture of the smallest QB in the league and put the two together? Does anybody know who the smallest QB is? I've got no clue.

I found this site about the Detmer brothers as far as small QBs.

Although its an old article it still may apply.

Not sure but how big was Doug Flutie? He was a small QB also. :g:

Flutie beats Detmer. Same weight, but Flutie is listed at 5-10, which explains why he was a bust in the NFL.

When you're an 11th round pick, not much was expected of him in the first place...

True, but how many 11th round picks can say they were the main player in the greatest college football play of all time?

If you are a Heisman winner and make it to the NFL, you better be damned good, or you'll be labeled a bust, no-matter where you are drafted. That's just my opinion of course.

In Flutie's defense, he does have more wins than losses I think, but that still doesn't undermine the fact that he was a journeyman player at best in the NFL. Not good for a Heisman winner. At least he's not Weinke :biggrin:
