He looks smaller than he is because has Kramer Robertson Syndrome.


Its a syndrome where you are a full size human but you have dwarf like proportions

There really is a huge psychological barrier between being classifies as 5'9" or 5'10"

One sounds close enough to 6' to be wihin acceptable range for a NFL caliber QB. The other sounds like Kick Return Specialist.

Flutie was a pretty decent QB who had a fairly long career.

Small QBs with strong arms will probably have an easier time in today's NFL than ever before

Yep


There are barriers in height usually in two inch increments


5'6"- You sound very very very short, but people wont think something is wrong. 1 inch shorter at 5'5" and people worry about you


5'8"-You are shortish, but also averageish

5'10"- You have entered the aone where some will call you short, some average, some will even say tallish. Interesting zone here

6'0"-nothing needs to be said about hitting he magic 6

6'2" to 6'4"- the perfect height. good for sports and aesthetics


over 6'4"- if you arent a great athlete you are stuck with being just a tall weirdo

Murray has a rocket arm. His quickness and agility is vick like. He's got extremely fast straight line speed. I just don't know how much being 5'9 vs 5'11.5" really effects ones ability to play football.

I used to watch Kramer in amazement. He was 5'9" but I swear there were times i thought he was 4'8". A grown human isnt supposed to have that head, torso, and arm proportions


the farks based on this were great

If he were 5’7” he’d standout much more than he does on the field. And he wouldn’t be able to throw from the pocket like he can

I’d say he’s pushing 5’10”. Which is fine as long as he has hands the size of a much bigger man

Did you see how Alabama players were tackling him? Literally putting a paw on him results in a tackle(just as I predicted). It looked exactly like it did when Alabama players tackled Chris Rainey(just as I predicted).

But hell, it might not matter. The NFL has dumbed down the position so much. He might work.

Based on the hairlines, that is more than one inch. Probably 2.

So if Brown is 5’10”, that makes Murray 5’8”.

Dude, he REALLY stands out on the field.

That's when his size stands out the most.

The guy scoots around. The word run never crosses my mind when I watch him. He just, scoots.


And his size REALY stands out on a baseball field. Which means he's EXTRA short.
