    Whats with these guys having their uncles and family as financial advisers and business partners?

    They grow up with nothing and think that a family member has their best interests in mind. But depending on someone with zero background in contracts is a horrible idea.

    The restaurant business is a big draw that looks like a cant miss.

    The two happiest days in the restaurant biz are the grand opening and when you close the doors for good.

    The easiest to coach: Ball Security.

    Impossible to Coach: Size and durabilty.

    Darnold is the leader in the clubhouse.

    I have heard the same thing said about boats:  2d happiest day is when you buy it....only exceeded by the day you sell it.

    And similar things have been said about Rental property.

    I have been smart enough at least to avoid investing in all three.

    Darnold is working with Carson Palmers brother to fix his long whine up in his mechcanics. Some say that is why Darnold/agent chose to not throw at Combine but to wait for his familiar WR's at Pro Day..Am holding that thought on Darnold till I see this new whined up..

    We talked about a boat.  The only issue there is if you need a bigger boat.

    Discussion about this on the radio this AM.   Statment generally was that  9.5"   hand size was expected minimum.   Russell Wilson....even though he was only like 5'11"   had a hand size over 10 inches.

    So...now....where are these stats on  Allen and Rudolph et al?

  • The GipperT The Gipper wrote on last edited by The Gipper

    After some research....I found a very rare oddity:    the two starting QBs with the largest hands.....at 10.25 inches each.....were Drew Brees and Russell Wilson.....who just happen to be like the two shortest starting QBs.   

    How odd is that?

    Also, here is a chart from earlier years...not current...but interesting:

    Edit....sorry about the size.

    With Rogers @ 9 3/8 that kind of throws out the 9 1/2 min. myth.

    Well....it is just an optimal thing....not a hard fast rule by any means.  

    I think Michael Vick had only 8.5 inch hands.    Alex Smith I think is the same.

    Here is an article on hand size...and why supposedly it has some importance to NFL teams.

    http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/02/22/why-quarterback-hand-size-matters-to-nfl.html

    And..What about Allen and Rudolph and others?   Here are some stats from the Senior Bowl:

    Hand sizes of Senior Bowl QBs:
    Josh Allen: 10 1/8
    Luke Falk: 9 3/8
    Tanner Lee: 10 1/8
    Kurt Benkert: 9 5/8
    Kyle Lauletta: 9 5/8
    Mason Rudolph: 9 1/8* won’t play
    Brandon Silvers 9 1/8
    Mike White: 9 3/8

    UCLA QB Josh Rosen measured with 9 7/8-inch hands at the combine on Thursday, while Louisville QB Lamar Jackson's measured 9 1/2 inches. Wyoming's Josh Allen had the biggest hand measurement at 10 1/8 inches. Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield had one of the smallest hands among combine QBs with a measurement of 9 1/4 inches.

    In a combine preview, Jeremiah noted scouting concern that Darnold's hands were on the small side, contributing to a high turnover rate in his junior and final season at USC.

    Darnold has elected not to throw at the combine this week, so clubs won't have a chance to evaluate him live as a passer until his March 21 pro day

    Jared Goff - 9 inches
    Paxton Lynch - 10 1/4 inches

    So...what do these two above tell us?  Hmm?


    Patrick Mahomes - 9 1/4 inches
    Mitchell Trubisky - 9 1/2 inches
    Deshaun Watson - 9 3/4 inches
    Carson Wentz - 10 inche

    Jonah Adam Falcon (born July 29, 1970) is an American actor and television presenter. He came to national attention in 1999 over the size of his penis, reported to be the largest on record at 13.5 inches (34 cm) long when erect.

    (No word about the size of his hands)

    Yeah, I hyphenated his last name to Darnold-DucknobodyblockedBosaagain after that Ohio State mismatch in the trenches.
