Ian,

I think it needs to be recaptured. It looks very Tom Osbourne 1980's option pass-ish!! That dropback was way to erractic and herky-jerky with the choppy steps and ball movement up and down. He needs to slow down,relax, and smooth it out. When he is dropping back the ball should stay chest level. His first three steps should be long and smooth with the last two steps short and choppy to gather himself. (LBZRule had a nice video from NFL network to illustrate what the drops should look like)

I agree stuntmen of different heights should dropback at different speeds to replicate various stride lengths.

Also, after watching last nights game Shawn Hill was using the old back pedal style dropback to keep his eyes downfield at all times. You may want to look to implement that in the game as well as I have seen a few more QB's use it.
