Quote:I think Teddy's hands come in right at 9". Bortles' might be about that, and I feel like you're pretty spot on about Manziel's giant hands. I do feel like Teddy will be 6'2" though.
The two biggest concerns of mine about Bridgewater (hand size and frame) will either be put to rest or exacerbated tomorrow.
I am not worried about Teddy's frame if he is able to pack some some pounds. He gained weight while preparing for the combine.
Quote:Here are my predictions on the top 3 QB's before the measurements
Name Height Weight Hands
Johnny Jaguar 6'0 210 10.25
Teddy Bridgewater 6'1.5 210 8.5
Blake Bortles 6'3.5 230 9.5
Probably gonna have to take off an inch and 10 lbs for JFF, add an inch and 10 lbs for Teddy and Bortles. Teddy will have slightly over 9" hands too I believe.

So you say Manziel is 5'11 200 and Bridgewater is 6'2.5 and 220 with over 9 inch hands.... Prepare to eat some crow m8

I think JFF will be under 6' and Teddy will be over 6'2'' and over 9'' hands...yes.
Quote:BTW if we are going to talk about hands, we also need to talk about feet. Tweet from Zac Jackson:
I asked (Browns GM) Ray Farmer what's the first thing he'll ask Johnny Manziel. He replied: "How big are your feet?"
Careful JW, Farmer was making a joke. The joke has to do with the relationship between a man's foot size and the size of his genitalia.
It's an old joke, still kind of funny....
QB measurements (will edit this post as they come in):
Blake Bortles 6'5 232
Teddy Bridgewater 6'2 1/8 214
Johnny Manziel 5'11 3/4 207

Odds we see Pirk eat some crow publicly for Teddy checking all of the boxes just fine despite his continual slandering?
Interesting to see Bortles check in an inch taller than listed by his team. Usually players are an inch shorter.

I like this tweet from McShay:

<p class="">Can't figure out why no one is talking about T. Bridgewater. His tape is so efficient (compared to other '14 QBs)... Maybe it's too boring?
<p class="">
<p class="">Teddy has been so efficient and so consistent that I do think some people consider him "boring." The small hands could (could) be a problem but I'm not sure at this point. Love the fact he put on some pounds though.

This is all correct, except 9 1/4" is not small hands, they're just fine.
Johnny Football is a little people,with bigger hands
Good measurements from the top 3 guys, in my opinion. Bridgewater measured bigger than expected, and even though Manziel is just short of 6'0, his hands are big.
Too bad big hands don't help you see over linemen.
Glad to see Bridge come in at 214. Probably would start the season around 220
Quote:Too bad big hands don't help you see over linemen.
While it is nice to have a QB who can see over the linemen, I don't think that's as big a deal as some people make it out to be.

It's not about being able to see over them, it's about being able to have the nuance to find the throwing lanes. I'm not sure how developable that skill is, but Johnny Footstool doesn't have it yet. Wilson has it naturally and Brees has it, but I honestly don't know if he always did or if he developed the skill later on.
