re: You ever think about how weird quarterbacks are?

I think your perception is wrong these guys are much more athletic-'looking' than you think. Peyton, Rodgers, etc. You're just comparing them to guys all over the field who are required to be physical freaks by the nature of their position.

This is the correct answer. Years ago, I watched some oddball show where Joe Montana was down in Australia right about the time he retired. They showed him doing all sorts of goofy outback stuff, and then had some videos of him working out with a pro Australian Football team.
Granted, Aussie football is a different game, but those guys are on TV down under, and it's a physical sport. And I never thought of Montana as a big guy. But Joe was the biggest man on the field out there, and he was pushing a few of those guys around in a physical manner while running with them. At the time, I wondered what a guy like Rickey Jackson or some other linebacker would look like.
