We're not discussing 80's-90's Robot QB's. Some of today's best QB's are big dudes that move really well.
Again, you just don't know what you're talking about.

Mahomes became a "big guy" once he succeeded. Before that the emphasis was on stupid crap like Texas Tech Air Raid and him supposedly not being able to play in structure.
As for size, I am not against tall or big QB's.
If everything else is the same, sure give me the bigger player.
But modern NFL offense I take a guy that runs a 4.3 over a few inches in height because of the supposed great vision height provides.
Height is a trait, just not as important as overall athleticism, throwing with anticipation, spatial awareness, off-platform throws.
Now the one thing I can say that SNR touched on was just being 6'6'' or 6'7'' doesn't seem to be the sweet spot or ideal. I think it is because it is harder to control those longer levers. There is more of a clumsiness to some of the super tall players vs the guys that are 6'2'' or 6'3''.
Favre, Rodgers, Mahomes are the top off-platform throwers of the last few decades and none were 6'4''.
