The NFL is setup now more than ever to protect the QB, and you need a QB who can deliver on the unscheduled stuff. Yes height matters, but There are some great examples recently why it isn’t the end all be all.
You need someone who can make plays, this kid can. He also has experience in Kliffs system.

What? QBs can still get killed. Especially if they’re young...
How much extra “protection” from the refs did Mahomes get?
ZERO! Didn’t benefit from a single new QB protection rule all season (minus the one time he got low blowed like ‘08 Brady)
(Still, it’s possible he gets the Brees/Wilson short guy treatment from the refs)
