"Ideal Size" for scouts and GM's is 6'3, 225 and that's really a "baseline".
Short guys will not become the trend.

Like I said, I don't think short will ever be the trend.
But with spread concepts becoming more prevalent, I think the league will become more accepting if you will, of guys like Alex Smith who aren't 6"6 pocket passers.
I think guys like Tannehill and Newton and Kap become more the norm. Ej being the latest case. There will probably always be a place for a Manning but I dunno if it will be the ideal anymore.
Kinda feel like Brad Smith was just before his time
