Are Green Bay cornerbacks too short?
post #1

Okay so I am a Packers fan and saw this and thought I would share. 

Green Bay — Year by year and player by player, the Green Bay Packers have relaxed their organizational insistence upon the 6-foot cornerback.

When Terrell Buckley (5-9, 175) failed as the team's fifth overall pick in the 1992 draft, GM Ron Wolf instituted a "never again" ban on short cornerbacks that was broken in the last generation only by Mike Sherman with Ahmad Carroll (5-9½, 190) in 2004.

Arguably the Packers' six best cornerbacks since the edict went into effect were Doug Evans (6-0½, 190), Craig Newsome (5-11½, 190), Mike McKenzie (6-0, 194), Al Harris (6-1, 190), Charles Woodson (6-1, 202) and Tramon Williams (5-11, 191)."

The way I look at is they will have a harder time next to taller players so it kind of matters here but to say 5'9 is short... I don't agree. There are plenty of 5'8-5'10 players in the NFL.

In the NFL, anything under 5'10 is considered short. Same thing for life off the field...

Look at the logo on this forum.

To be fair, they seem to judge positions more on weight than height. People who call out heights as a problem just do it to get people talking.

I guess this is true but I think that most of these men are more than capible of being amazing cornerbacks and people are just making it a height issue.

Boy would they be in for a rude awakening (especially the men) the moment they step off at JFK or LAX!

She says "Being taller than her is a green flag"

Saw this online. Good to know that you can learn to be taller than her so you can be a green flag in her eyes. 

She also says being a great communicator is a good thing, but will most likely send one word replies. 🙄

Anyone would rather choose Ebola/Smallpox than being short?

I am very ardent against being short and I discovered having Ebola or Smallpox is better than being short after all of my researches about short men's mental healths and my own feelings about it.

If there were 2 options for me:
1.Being around only 150cm-160 with healthy body.

2.Being around 188cm-190cm with Ebola/Smallpox.

I will never hesitate to choose the second one.
