Do you disagree?

If I wanted to bet against him I would. I surely wouldn’t be afraid to say it.

If he does becomes an elite QB he’d certainly be an outlier for one with that hand size.

No need to throw a hissy fit. That is a fact.

Call it out if you want, you’re gonna look stupid if you want to go there.,

The strength of someone's hands, wrists and forearms would significantly matter for someone lifting extremely heavy weights, not a football. Plenty of big people have weak grip strength. How has JB's hand size affected his accuracy in 2 years as a starter at LSU? How many times did he fumble due to having 9" hands? He played on wet fields and still had success. You are going out on a limb with no direct applicability. In the event he did have lower completion rates in some games that also could be because of receiver short comings, not his accuracy nor hand size. Regardless, his eyes and what is between his ears separate him from a lot of potential QBs that would like to start in the NFL. I bet Winston would trade hand size with Burrow to obtain his live action mental gifts.

Hand size is such an overrated stat. Can the dude make accurate throws to all parts of the field or not? We know this answer already.
