Undersized QB's

Well as everyone knows the QB of the ducks this year will most likely be nathan costa. He is a 6'1 220 lb QB who Chip Kelly says: " Pushed Dennis for playing time last year." Costa fits into the molds of the Chase Daniels, Todd Reesings, and Matt Frothe's of the College Football world. The new size of QB is opening doors for the "smaller" quarterbacks. I personally like a more athletic taller QB. Such as a 6'4 220 who can take off and run at any given moment. But QB's such as those are rare and are mostly recruited by the powerhouses. Oregon did make a run at Terrelle Pryor but we all knew he was going to choose either Ohio State or Michigan. Anyways this change of size in the QB has led to ask some questions. I wonder if these amazing undersized college quarterbacks are going to be able to play at the next level? Look at the size of the first 2 selected quarterbacks. Matt Ryan: 6'4 221 and Joe Flacco: 6'5 230. Prototypical nfl size. I believe that the Chase Daniels will not be as good at the next level. For the simple fact they are too small. Yes they can play in college football, but so did ron dayne. Just a little something to leave you thinking about. Here is the link for the sporting news article.
