Rudolph is mobile enough

Your suppose 2 do it with Your hand flat on a table, or surface. Mine is 9, and 7/8s, and I always thought I had small hands until I heard about 8.5.

 

No pump fakes and let some air out of the ball simple fixes.

 

Now take an inch off that . You don't think You would have trouble in the cold raining days late in December, and on?? If You took that inch off??

 

I totally agree. I believe He would be perfect for N.O

 

I did spread it flat on a surface, fingers and thumb spread as much as they could, put a ruler between the tip of my thumb and tip of my pinky, I got 8.5". I am not certain if its the further part of the the skin on each, which might get me to 8.75", but regardless, my hand size is almost exactly Picketts and from my experience with a pro-size football, that is not a good thing.

 

EXCEPT for when he had to play a team in a wet or cold climate in the playoffs. Looking good all year and...IMPLOSION! LOL
That said good regular season and playoff dud is the new Steelers standard, so maybe he'll fit right in? Sorry, I couldn't help it. I miss power football, now we're all finesse and a pushover in the playoffs. Sigh.

 

Cool. Just wanted You 2 make sure You weren't cheating Yourself.
I agree. It would seem like a problem.....especially in the cold,and the rain.

 

I remember when men were debating the size of something else

Although, dimensions were based on the length of a cubit or grains of rice

 

Nah. We are the Steelers, and We shall triumph.
Thing is if He played good enough with the Saints, or Atlanta they could get home field. Hell Brees had trouble outside.

Congrats my friend! You will have to trust me on this, but an ESPN report stated 9 7/8 was the average starting QB hand length among NFL Qbs between 2010 and 2021. While 8.5, with the amount of fumbles Pickett has in his past leads me to believe this could be an issue. He had 9,7,7 his first 3 years. Last year 3, did he just learn better control? Perhaps, but it certainly is something to be concerned with.

 

I could have been a Qb starter. I knew My coaches were wrong when they said I couldn't throw. LoL.
Well My hand size might be good for it , but apparently nothing else was.

 

I don't follow Pitt football and have been tuning out draft stuff as per usual but heard Ryan Leaf talking about the Grand Canyon size leap in Pickett's yearly TD totals from 9 to 42. What was the reason for that jump?

 

He got better.
I really don't know , but either way the hand size (whether stupid, or not) bothers Me. Some say well it's only half of an inch smaller than Burrows, but add a half of an inch 2 anything, or take a half of an inch off of anything, and You will notice a difference.
Like I stated before Mike Vick had the same hand size, and He fumbled the ball 98 times, He only played 13 year(not all starting), and predominantly indoors. His fumbles are up there with guys that played predominantly outdoors with way more years.
So make of that what You will.

 

then they are putting a lot of wasted time into this smokescreen. do we really need our head coach and GM wasting time making it look like we want a qb when we truely do want a qb. even if he is the man, he is the only one we have under contract. even if they sign haskins we still need one. now i could see some infighting between colbert, art2 and tomlin about who they want. just like when the got ben and cowher wanted a different position. remember colbert is making this call as his way of leaving the team in a good spot. having mason is like an ace in the hole. all he has to do is be a game manager if they put a good enough team around him. maybe they do wait until round 2-3 this way and take a flyer on a guy like kelly.that then leaves the decision up to tomlin and the next GM. i'm not sure colbert will do that.

 

Ryan Leaf?

 

I pray this is how it goes , or of course if Haskins legitimately beats Him out roll with Him. I say roll with whomever beats who, and see what We got before taking a chance on someone that might not beat either one if it wasn't for their draft position. You know if We draft someone (Qb) in the 1st it won't be a real competition.
I know others will laugh, but outside of speed....if You go by the college production, and combine....Nobody really is Head, and shoulders above what Mason, or Haskins did, and I'm going by College, and combine.....because the other is all I can grade them equally against.

 

I think they’ll be exploring every option, going in to a season with Mason as the starter would be a hard sell to the fan base. He is not popular (somewhat unfairly IMO) and if it doesn’t get off to a good start the fans will be on his back mercilessly.

If they get him a functional OLine and design the offence around him then I’d expect he will be much better than in 2019 but I still think his role in this league is as a backup. He is a poor man’s Jimmy G IMO, might do ok and win games in a very good setup but won’t be a difference maker.

 

i think colbert wants a legacy type pick.

 

Hey. If He gets Me a top flight CB that's a shut down type Guy for 10 years....that's a legacy pick IMO.

 

He has been filling in on Rich Eisen's radio show an had some interesting comments. He has fully embraced what his legacy is in the NFL and the mistakes he made. He had some real moments talking about Mental health and CTE and what it's like coming into the league now as opposed to in 98 and that stigma of mental health and wellness
