Brett Favre. Big hands.Jake DEL Homme. Small hands.
There have been good QBs with small hands.....but not many. It's a big deal to me. If Bortles or Manziel have small hands, I would no longer want them in the top 10.
Throw out all the tape and stats. Hands size is the most important thing......................
Nope. Just one of many important factors

You said you wouldn't take Bortles if he had small hands. Meaning doesn't matter what he did if he has small hands.
75% of all QBs have a hand size in the 9s. The other 25% in the 10s. Just as many busts among the 10s as the 9s. Hell, Vick has 8.5 in hands.
You know who had the largest? Jim Drunkenmiller at 11". And he sucked.

That was really his name? LOL

Yup
Was a first rounder too. Maybe about 15 years ago. Out of Virginia Tech. I think the 49ers drafted him.

I said I wouldn't take him in the top 10. I didn't say I wouldn't take him. Tiny hands affect where the risk and reward equal out imo.

Well yeah I mean small hands or not you aren't getting him out of the top 10. That's why I said that. He lacks arm strength. That would be more of a concern to me. Not that his concerns me much anyways.

Well, he does throw some ugly balls which gets him marked with the "weak arm" tag. Personally I don't buy it. I think his arm is good. However, if he ends up having tiny hands then that would explain the ducks he throws sometimes and it would definitely affect my opinion of him. Hand size is important for offensive skill positions and especially quarterbacks. At least that is my opinion. You don't have to agree and maybe I'm completely wrong...but that is my opinion and I feel strongly that I am right.

I think he's the safest QB in the draft. So none of that stuff would concern me enough to go say Bridgewater or Manziel over him. Not saying you are wrong. Just saying it's not a big deal to me compared to you and the NFL scouts. Obviously they know more than me. I just wouldn't be overly concerned about hand size.
