ESPN article: "...Myth around QB hand size, a measurement that doesn't mean anything"

The hand-size myth is laughable. As USA Today put it: "Hand size has nothing to do with a quarterback's ability to hold on to the football [even in cold weather]. ... Just to drive that point home, the correlation coefficient between the number of letters in the quarterback's name and their fumble rate is six times stronger than hand size." ESPN Stats & Information's own analysis went back through the past 10 draft classes and found that the group of QBs with the smallest hands fumbled at nearly the same rate as QBs with large hands, and, what's more, small-handed QBs had a slightly higher QBR than passers with medium-sized hands.

Wrong board, MSB

Dude, everybody on this board loves Burrow. You don't have to convince us that he's great any more.

So ESPN is a reputable source of journalism now?
Got it.
Got it.

You still trying to cling to the "hand size" hoax?
Got it.

Yep, he is. But what you posted isnt about him directly.

There are two threads, on the first page, about hand size. They are both started by you.

Jeaux isn’t so much concerned with Burrow’s hand size impacting his performance, but what it could imply about the size of his dick. Really has him shook.

It's weird how insecure he still is about Burrow, even to this day.

Guy said I was bashing Burrow because I said his hand size is a risk due to the climate he's gonna be playing in. I even made sure to say I thought he checked every other box and should be drafted first. It's like talking to a 4th grader.

Lester Earl had 20+ posts dissing Burrow over this "hand size" hoax - then you jumped in and Knighted for him! LOL
Just admit that you and your pals grossly underestimated Burrow's elite skill sets (until they became undeniable) then you'll feel better.

I knighted for Lester Earl?
I gave my opinion on the matter. He doesn't need anyone to "knight" for him. He's perfectly capable of handling himself. You're a psycho.

Maybe you ARE clueless enough to believe this "hand size" hoax.

Hopefully Burrow will win Rookie of the Year and then you will come back here to post that I said he would fail because of his hand size. I'm sure I will need a good laugh by then.

Show him the projections, Buckeye Joe.
A LE/BJ showdown is one I would love to see. That would be a comedy hour.

I don't know if hand size matters or not. I just like ESPN contradicting ESPN.

Over the past 10 years, a mere three quarterbacks with 9-inch hands have attempted more than 300 passes -- Goff, Tannehill and Chad Henne. During that span, none of them has a Total QBR above 55.
