OT: Manti Te'o

[Ladder7]

Remember the man hands episode?.. Just a prank to get babes to pity him. Costanza faked his supermodel fiancee's death to scoop pity dates at the meat packing district's hot spots. Good wholesome fun.

The height of a QB IS important BUT not an end all be all. Its important because the Line in front of him are guys who are 6-2 - 6-7 and the QB needs to throw over them.

There are exceptions to everything, but in general a QB is tall, a WR has big hands, a cornerback is fast, etcetctec

I think we're all pretty much in agreement about the QB height thing, that it's an advantage but not the be and end all. Certainly there are more opportunities for tall QB's, perhaps there would be more star-quality short QB's if given the chance, who knows?

As for Te'o, I hope for his sake that he goes on to have a successful career. Can't say why he would have a gf for three years he never met, but some people are emotionally needy. But if he goes on to make 6 or 8 pro bowls, I think this whole thing will be in the rear view mirror pretty quickly.
