Who knows what BOB's real preference is, but historically, he's been involved more with bigger framed QBs so I don't think it's far a stretch for Brant or others to assume he prefers a larger QB. When I see more and more respected NFL insiders (or folks much closer to info than you or I) saying BOB likes larger QB's and seeing names like Bortles and Mallett to the Texans being tossed around, there might be something to it. Of course, it could just be speculation.
