Reply to comment by Exiled_From_Twitter in [OC] Correlation between heigh and performance of NFL Quarterbacks in 2022 by Exiled_From_Twitter

Ehh, your showing the range of heights of current QBs. There's a reason that range is so narrow. I don't see any 5'6" guys or 7 footers. I would say this is proof that height is extremely impactful.

Please read my title. I did not insinuate that height could NEVER have an influence on NFL QB's. But this all stems from Bryce Young being a bit on the short side and every single time a top end QB prospect is 6'0" or a touch under this gets brought up ad nauseam. Yeah of course this data has worked itself out b/c at a certain point height would have some sort of impact but once you hit a certain height it really doesn't matter.

Just stop. First you were dismissive of their yards per attempt metric because it didn’t measure enough things. OP addressed that and explained that it’s fairly comprehensive and any other metric would be directionally similar, so now you’ve moved on to criticizing something else because your first attempt was addressed. You just want to hear yourself talk and be critical for the sake of being critical.

What are you talking about, this data shows that the sweet spot is between 6'2" and 6'6" so it seems like height is VERY correlated...
