That short guy Brees sure is struggling...
-
The Manziel comparison of a mix of Russel Wilson and Brett Favre has me sold. Sounds pretty lethal to me

And before y'all start shrieking "What are you thinking?!? We'd love to have him as the Browns' QB!" just riddle me this: are Brees' struggles today purely a function of the Seahawks' defensive scheme, or is the wet weather the cause? It's tough to grip a wet football and throw it accurately with small hands; Brees has been tossing wounded ducks all day, and missing his receivers as a result.
For all you Manziel lovers out there who couldn't figure it out, this post is for you.

For all you Manziel lovers out there who couldn't figure it out, this post is for you.
The first mistake you made was assuming that, just because they're shorter, Brees and Manziel have small hands.
Brees' hand size was measured at 10 1/4 inches at the combine.
Manziels's is expected to fall between 10 1/4 and 10 1/2 inches.
Both are larger than the average hand size of NFL QB's, which is unofficially at 9 3/4 inches.
Cam Newton, standing at 6'6, only recorded 9 7/8 inch hand.
Brett Favre, standing at 6'3, had a hand span of 10 3/8 inches.
Russell Wilson, standing at 5'10, has a recorded hand span of 10 1/4 inches.
Troy Aikman is known for having some of the largest hands in the league for a QB. While his span was never officially measured at the Combine, people believe the span to be around 11 inches.
The second thing you failed to acknowledge is that Russell Wilson, with the same diminutive stature and exact same hand size, started off the game tremendously efficient, completing 8 of his first 10 passes. In the same weather as Brees.
It would stand to reason that the defense was giving Brees more trouble than the conditions, especially if you watched the game. The Seahawks defense was playing outstandingly in the first half, breaking up at least three first down passes before the end of the half.
It's normally best to research before you post.

You're an idiot for comparing Manziel to Brees as a reason not to draft him, and an even bigger idiot to not notice that the quarterback that was winning the game was even smaller. And to assume the small hands. You may have set a record for Fail in one post.

Well yeah, having huge hands definitely helps. However, as we saw with the Hoyer\Weeden comparison there's things that are a lot more important, like being able to get rid of the ball quickly, and accurately decipher a defense. Running around like Fran Tarkenton until one of your receivers breaks open is not a recipe for long term success in the NFL.
