There are exceptions – Drew Brees, Michael Vick, Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts – and the increase in opportunities for shorter QBs we’ve seen the past few years - Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa, Baker Mayfield - could continue to change that.

The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?
Which made us wonder what type of injury Tucker is really dealing with? A bone bruise doesn't typically take this long to heal.
