bbedward Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 6'4, 215, 9" hands were his official measurements I believe. Derek Carr and Bilgewater had 9" hands, Manziel closer to 10". He'll be fine - as soon as Hue meets him he'll be sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Maybe we can harvest Johnny's? ("Hey, Johnny. Can you lend us a hand?") Borrow a pair of Teddy B's gloves? Deflate the balls a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone is implying having big hands makes you good....I think it's more that small hands count against you.....how much?....who knows.....

Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I think the "athleticism gap" is over estimated (and the Combine numbers will show it) and Wentz's resume is simply too thin... Plus have I mentioned recently that I don't like running QBs? No bridging this gap, TC, but as usual, it was interesting trying.... That's your prerogative. It's also a misnomer calling Wentz a running QB - he's just simply a more talented athlete. You'll eventually come around after we take Wentz.

Find one of QB's who have experienced success with hands smaller than 9 1/4". That's probably more apt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Goff is the man, he came in at a nice weight and people seem to think he can fill out more - combined with everybody thinking he's a G in interviews. I don't think the interview with Hue will get hung up on the topic of hand size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sooooo Vick what? Is really the only one who's experienced sustained success. Kaepernick is not a QB and will never be one, he was in an offense that emphasized his strengths but wasn't sustainable in the least. I will never give Romo any sort of accolade whatsoever.

You'll eventually come around after we take Wentz. 138 carries his Jr. year for 642... Essentially same pace his Sr. year... until he broke his wrist... Game tape I viewed included multiple read options per game... What is your definition of a running QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Goff... get thee to a masseuse! According to Bruce Feldman of FOX Sports, the massage therapy Allen received seems to have done the trick, as his hands which measured 8 1/2 inches at the Senior Bowl have grown to 8 7/8 inches when measured here at the Scouting Combine. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/02/25/brandon-allens-hand-stretching-worked-his-hands-are-still-teeny-though/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont downplay the small hands when were looking for someone to play in a city with possibly the worst conditions in football. I wonder if Goff got the masseuse hand stretch too...

Kaepernick is not a QB and will never be one, he was in an offense that emphasized his strengths but wasn't sustainable in the least. I will never give Romo any sort of accolade whatsoever. Romo hasn't won anything...but he's also light years better than any QB we've had since Tim Couch and I'd think Romo is better than Couch. Kaepernick is just totally weird...the dude was 5 yards from winning the super bowl and now he can't play. Vick was pretty darn good with the Falcons.

Drafting Wentz with that small a sample size, and a history of a broken wrist will take a humougous leap of faith to draft him at #2. Even moreso than Johnny Football, because the repercussions of guessing wrong will set the Browns back at least another couple years. I agree with the second video that Tobin comments on. Hand measurement could well be how much you can stretch your thumb and pinkie. You probably can compensate for a relatively small hand if you have a vice grip with your fingers. Playing around, yup, longer fingers will increase hand measurement. FWIW, I measured, and mine is 9" and I wear a large in lab gloves. Anyone who measures 10" has a freaking huge hand- make that doubly for Manziel who's exactly the same height as me. I'd be willing to bet Jimi Hendrix would have measured 11", the guy had freakishly long fingers. "Halo. Jonny? Eres tu?" "No hay telefonos buenos aqui en Cabo. Lo siento mucho. No puedo oir." ROTFL Ag, maybe we ought to start putting in the translations, for those who don't understand Spanish. "We don't have good telephones here in Cabo. Sorry, I can't hear (you)." Hope Johnny knows what "manos arriba!" means. "hands up!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once took a driving trip with my family from Texas to the ruins of Teotihuacan-a preaztec city N. of Mexico city. Within a couple of days my Spanish returned and I just set aside the dictionary. My kids still talk about that trip and Dad's "other language". Teotihuacán View of the Avenue of the Dead and the Pyramid of the Sun, from the Pyramid of the Moon.
