true, but having a 6' QB in college is not as big a deal as in the NFL.

The issue with a shorter QB to me is that we have recruited some behemoths on the OL. It is going to be tough for a guy who is 6'0" to throw over Vadal Alexander and Derek Edinburg. If we had an average college OL it wouldn't be a big deal but when your OL is NFL height your QB needs to be NFL height too.

There are exceptions like Drew Brees who can just move around and find passing lines but they are exceptionally rare.

That also assumes he's actually 6'. Ron Brooks was listed at 6' out of high school and measured 5'10" at the combine. Mo Claiborne was listed at 6' out of high school and measured 5'11" at the combine. 6' seems a lot taller than 5'11", would not surprise me at all if Kincade's height is slightly exaggerated.

There's also the build issue. He's listed at 175 lbs, but doesn't have broad shoulders or a thick lower body that suggests a frame to put on much weight. Assuming he would do a decent bit of running if he played QB for us, he's gonna take a pretty bad beating at that size.

Again, I like Kincade as a fallback option later in the recruiting cycle, but still I have major questions about his size.
