So yeah, be tall and/or heavy and RAS loves you.
It's really stupid, though.

I don't think it's the be-all-end-all, but I don't think it's stupid, either.
If there's a WR that's 6'3" 215, runs a 4.3 and has elite explosion measurements (10 yd splits, etc.) then isn't he more likely to be harder to deal with than a 5'9" 180 lb. guy with the same speed and quickness?
I mean, the bigger, faster, stronger guy wins, all things being equal. And that's the point of RAS.
Now, it's not the end word; an individuals peculiarities all matter too-their work ethic, their intelligence, etc.
But saying it's dumb is off base, in my opinion.
