OL pass protection

Years ago I saw a segment from HBO's Inside the NFL on Parcells talking about QBs. He basically went over his "rules" above and the conversation turned to QB heights. He said he wasn't in favor of drafting "short" QBs and the interviewer brought up Drew Brees. Parcells responded that while Brees was a great QB, there are far more HOF and SB winning QBs over 6'-2" than there are 6' and shorter.

I'm certainly not anti-King, he has talent and heart. To my eye test, TVD just has a better command view of the field and I attribute it, in at least some part, to his taller stature.
Parcells is right. He surely thinks Brees is a HOF QB, but how many 6’0 or shorter QBs play at that high a level?
