Blough

...looks so small next to the Mannings: https://purdue.rivals.com/

I know Brees has been successful despite being 6'0/6'1, but he's got a laser-rocket arm and a high level of toughness (even for an NFL QB). That pic just seems like a perfect example of the difference between a starting QB in college football and a starting QB in the NFL. I hope Blough proves everyone wrong and can make it at the highest level, but that's just the first thought that sprang to mind when I saw that.

Yes he does look a tad small, I didn't realize the Mannings were as tall as that.
I'm sure it was awesome to be around those guys, if he can come away with just a couple of new concepts or ideas, to incorporate into his QB play to help his play

Conversation overheard at the camp..
[Blough]: So, Mr. Manning, what do you do when you can't see over the line to spot your receivers over the middle of the field?
[Peyton]: Ummmm....
[Blough]: What about you, Mr. Manning?
[Eli]: Uhhhhh....
[Blough]: Never mind. I'll go talk to Drew again.

Can he make it to the next level? It is possible. I am not worried about the height difference right now. He needs to take it to the next level in college.

His height was not the problem with his interceptions. It was bad reads, bad throws, etc. He needs to dramatically improve on his interceptions this year. He has mentioned that himself. I think the Brohms will help with that. It does not help him this year that he has an inexperienced group of WRs.

Bob Griese- 6'1", Len Dawson 6', Drew Brees 6', Russel Wilson 5'11", Fran Tarkington 6', Doug Flutie 5'9", Sonny Jurgenson 5'11, Mike Vick 6' and................. Johnny Manziel 6'......errr my bad?

Not to be a Debby Downer here but will we have an OL that can protect the QB and also open holes for RBs, thereby taking pressure off of the passing game? The height of our QB isn't really much of a concern.

Coincidentally I seem to recall when at Purdue, Drew Brees played golf with Peyton Manning. Anyone else recall this? Or am I mistaken?
