What is the right offense for Drew Allar?

Sounds reasonable. Like I said, I didn't know for sure

 

I'm also not sure.

 

LoL. I actually believe You are closer than I was. LoL.
I never really kept up with this side of the game. So anytime I talk about it it's about what I heard, or thought I heard.

 

I am fully aware you were not.


Not directed at you either good sir.

 

Allar, and the Top QBs remained unsigned.

Funny that second paragraph about fans being disappointed in Mendoza running with the 2s and 3s and struggling with taking snaps from center, is almost word for word the complaints on Allar's performance here.

 

I read somewhere, or heard somewhere that Mendoza only took 9 snaps under center his whole college career. Seems crazy if it's true

 

Interesting

The first week of Allar the complainers, mostly because they followed the clickbait sources, stated how bad Allar was with his footwork

This happened because not one of these people knew what they were talking about and ignored that it was a footwork drill designed to be clunky

But it was an excuse to complain

 

Hand size is a definite advantage for playing quarterback in the NFL, and in my opinion, it’s more important than most fans realize.The data and on-field reality point to a practical minimum: 9 inches (measured from thumb tip to pinky tip with the hand spread). Anything below that creates real limitations. The ideal range sits around 10 inches or more.Why 9+ Inches Makes Such a Difference? Grip and control. Smaller hands struggle to fully secure the football. This affects core QB skills: Executing convincing play-action fakes, pumping the ball to hold defenders, and making quick adjustments in the pocket. Fumble risk: Reduced grip security leads to more drops and fumbles, especially under pressure or in bad weather. Touch and feel: Quarterbacks need precise ball handling. When a player relies on gloves to compensate for smaller hands, it often dulls their natural sense of touch and feedback from the ball.

If you see an NFL quarterback consistently wearing gloves in dry conditions, it’s often a poker tell he’s battling smaller hands.The Grip Strength Connection? Hand size and grip strength go hand-in-hand (pun intended). I tested 115 on a hand grip dynamometer, a score considered good for an adult male my age. Shake hands with someone hitting 120+ and you instantly feel the difference: it’s a very solid, confident grip. This isn’t just a football thing. Medical research consistently links stronger grip strength to better overall health outcomes. It’s a strong indicator of: Lower mortality risk, Greater functional longevity, Better cardiovascular health and muscle preservation with age.

It wouldn’t surprise me if life insurance companies eventually incorporate grip strength testing. Overall, grip strength remains one of the most underrated metrics for long-term health. It reflects total-body strength, nervous system function, and how well you’ll maintain independence later in life.

This brings us to Kenny Pickett. He measured with small hands and scored a 17 on the Wonderlic - - below the score of 20 or greater I believe most QBs need unless they’re truly exceptional athletes with elite arm and leg talent. The Steelers bet on one strong college season vs mediocre competition instead of the full picture . That pick didn’t work out, and while it’s water under the bridge now, the lessons from it aren’t forgotten. If you wondering I blasted the pick the day after it was made.

Now a female comedian might had an idea or two on the small hands correlation. Funny chicks who appreciate football are a rare breed.

 

A good coach can fix questionable footwork. But the is little they can do do fix small hands.


Regadring Drew Allar. He showed poor footwork in college, but I believe that was largely because his coaching sucked. That was then and this is now. Mike McCarthy is an excellent QB coach who can clean up footwork. However, Allar will need 1,000+ meaningful snaps in pads before it becomes true muscle memory. There’s no shortcut for that volume of quality reps. Give him the season. Camp and weekly game day practices.

I care not for foolish complainers who blindly follow the clickbait's. But in this case I believe they were coreect. Hey a broken clock if right two time a week. Technically three time on daylight savings.

 

Deal with future problems in the future... or something like that.

You don't pay a guaranteed contract for what a player might become. You pay him for what he is. Allar is back to almost square one as a QB if we are to believe the reports.

I agree, he'll sign as soon as the others ahead of him get signed. And he won't get guaranteed money (unless Kahn has lost his mind).

 

Here's a picture of Ben wearing gloves in a game.

 

Ben rarely wore a glove on his throwing hand, preferring bare-handed grip to maximize his feel for the football. He had excellent control with a strong pump fake and a secure grip. That photo must be from a cold-weather game.

NO GLOVE NO LOVE

 

Amen

 

You sure that is your hand?
And
Inches
Or
Millimeters

 

It's his rookie contract. There is only so much that can be done. This isn't a player that is asking for and demanding $60 million per. These are slotted contracts with very little wiggle room for negotiation. The other quarterbacks ahead of him have to sign first, then the values are decided upon.

It's what I said in my first post that you disagreed with. There is nothing to see here. This is how the NFL works. He will sign in time and when it is appropriate.

 

Hand, and inches. LoL

 

Exactly.. I thought this was common knowledge.
