very early days of the internet...Go Big 12 days still, I think, before Hornfans....there was a kid that flipped last minute from aggy to Notre Dame...I think he was a lineman or TE named "Morton" or something similar....anyway, this poor 17 year old had the temerity to want a world class education instead of aggy bullshit and his family got ROASTED by early aggy message board user.

It was crazy and they may have moved over the deal.  aggy can't help  but showing their true colors at some point in the game.  happens every fucking time.

Bob Morton from McKinney was a C that went to ND but I don’t remember if he was committed to aggy beforehand.

How do you write aggies so well?  

Easy.

I think of a fan.  Then I take away reason and accountability.  I add ahistorical delusions of grandeur, cult mentality,  jizz jars, and sheep.

hahahaha no. im not that guy. i think all the hand size stuff for a college QB in a power spread offense is pretty silly.

The "sweet spot" for hand size is 9.25" to 10".

That being said there are many caveats:

1) A higher percentage of QBs get drafted both below and above that number than from within that range.

2) Probowlers tend to be on the higher end, but that might just be a factor of them being bigger guys in general (Cam Newton, Andrew Luck).

3) Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes both measure ~9.25" - although a combine measurement on Brady doesn't seem to exist and there's a lot of numbers out there for him.

4) Regular hand massages leading up to the combine can increase the measurement by about 0.5", and -yes- it happens.

Also, John David Booty seems to be the smallest hands on record that were drafted at 8.5"

So if a QB has, say, 7.5 inch hands, as a for instance, that's probably not good? 

It's great for folks to act indifferent about hand size for a guy handling the ball on every offensive snap, but it factors into mechanics, accuracy, and strength for throwing the ball. There's a reason hand size is measured on recruiting visits at (apparently) other schools and at the NFL combine. It's not some insurmountable concern, but when you add that in with overall frame, anyone expecting this guy to get much bigger is probably going to be disappointed. 

Maybe Card can get a pair of these to help with his tiny hands: 2016-03-01.gif

Although, this might create a problem when passing:

I've always been told that it's not the size of the [hands] that counts.  It's the motion of the ocean.

If it took us this long to get to this joke and those like it, maybe they were unfunny enough to have remained implied. I don't know. Can't hit any of the shots you don't take, I guess. But boy, is every spot on the floor meant to be within range?

You must not be a fan of Steph Curry.

I feel like the measurements are getting confused.

NFL measures tip of pinky to tip of thumb. 7-1/2" for that is dwarfish and not believable. Some measure base of palm to tip of middle finger. 7-1/2" is believable for that and would be small for a QB prospect.

Now I really want this to be true for Card. It's cruel, but it would be hilarious.

Super K thinks it's a Texas-OU battle, early on.

He's going to visit A&M as well.

I think what you guys are telling me is that Hudson Card should be called “Super Hudson” and moved to Safety where he will become an All-American and trounce A&M in the bowl game his Senior year at Texas.  Is that what you’re saying?

Hey, all I'm saying is that 7-1/2" is smaller than the average female hand span and the average female is 5'4". So maybe dwarfish was a bit hyperbolic, but that would be incredible if Card has a 7-1/2" hand span.

For reference, average male (5'10" tall) hand length is about 7.5" and span is 9".

I assume you're talking about Card. I can't confirm how big his hands are, but I have about average sized hands (small in QB terms), can't grip that size of football for shit, and even MY hands measure over 7.5" when measured the "Combine" way.

So he may not have large hands, or acceptable by NFL standards sized hands, but seeing the kid throw the ball I'm certain they're not 7.5combine, but rather on the other side of 8. 

PLEASE GIVE US A MEASUREMENT NOW CARD AND STOP THIS MADNESS I'M OVER HERE GUESSING HAND SIZES

Because I had no clue about my own physical attribute on this one, I just had an EA measure for me and my hand was 9.5" span and 8" length, at 6'2". I figure that's where Card should be, but here we are dealing with what sounds like dwarfish concerns, per your update.

Not me. Maybe I’m old school.

JFC. @Longhorn94 we are gonna need you to get that hand measurement for us, otherwise this thread is going to be even more insufferable than it already is for the next year.

I used iruler.net. I got 8.5 inches across and 8 inches long from palm to tip. I'm 6'3.  

Found this from palm to tip:
 

Average Male Hand Size

The average male hand size is 189 mm (7.44 inches)

Average Female Hand Size

The average female hand size 172 mm (6.77 inches)

That might not be the only measurement he tries to get. We need to find an outside source.

We need CTJ to measure the hands of all his female employees, stat, and report back for science

FIAP

 

You guys think we're on Mookie watch, or expect him to wait?

So if Hudson has a quarter horse he says stands 16 hands tall, it's really just a Shetland pony?

My hand measurements: not good

o’dell beckham has the biggest hands (maybe 2nd biggest behind that monster DE from Oregon) in the NFL and he is under 6 feet tall.

7.75" and 9.25".

I wouldn't consider my hands large.

I haven't measured mine recently, but all of your moms seemed to think the size was more than adequate.
