Reply to comment by thekaleshake in [OC] Correlation between heigh and performance of NFL Quarterbacks in 2022 by Exiled_From_Twitter
Thank you sir / madam, seeing these previous posts was precisely why I created this one. Russ and Kyler, 2 of the short guys, had poor seasons by their standards so it could have actually had a negative correlation if I had chosen a longer time period (especially if I had Brees in it) or chosen a different season. Didn't think I needed to and was correct.
Admittedly this is a specifically selected and managed group, so there is a bit of selection bias as guys who are short might simply need to be quite a bit better to even be considered good enough to be in this group but it still shows that anyone who is good enough to be a QB in the NFL is not impacted by height, i.e. if Bryce Young does in fact fail based on his high draft profile it won't be b/c he's shorter than others.
