John Dorsey says QB hand size is key criterion

hahahaha

says Ball Size is the key criterion for his QB.

grip strength

1. They have considered drafting two QBs

2. Dorsey is holding his cards so close that he has not even shared his draft strategy with Browns ownership

.

It's a message to Gettleman that Rosen is in the mix at #1 so he shouldn't be so sure that he will fall to the Giants.

Please draft Rosen, thank you.

in cold weather, you'd think Allen from Wyoming is a better bet than Rosen from L.A.

Is not the requisite for winning.😀🤣😂

...at 9 1/8. Some thought he might be a target of Belichick's. Being a cold weather team that expects to be playing home games in January, I wonder if hand size will rule Rudolph out.

And it leads to the fumble problems with Darnold. #DollHandsDarnold

Article on the two QB angle.

Highly doubt they would do it at #1 and #4 but apparently they have given the concept some thought.

Dear Dorsey, please draft Barkley, so I don't have to worry about our front office making the mistake of a lifetime.

Incidentally, did no one hear the Cards' GM yesterday? He said this is the time for misinformation, and he did not expect the next 20 minutes of his press conference to be any different. Does anyone actually think Dorsey is being truthful with the media?

He should be fired before the Giants pick is in if he doesn’t take Sam Darnold. I still hope 🤞 we get one of Sam Darnold or Saquon Barkley. That’s been my tune since the start of the off-season (& trust me our off-season started mid-season), Sam or Saquon.

...according to NFL database Eli has smaller hands than all of these guys. Would that stop you from drafting him? Stoooopid.

that he wouldn’t want the QB to be under. Doesn’t necessarily mean that the biggest hands would make for the best pick or even be a tie breaker.

Barkley first and letting the NY teams fight it out for who is left at 4.

Same hand size as Aaron Rodgers.

then Logan Thomas would be the best QB in the NFL with his nearly 11" mitts and Mark Sanchez with his 10 1/2" mitts is almost the perfect QB. And of course, one of the worst QB's in the NFL would be Tom Brady with his puny 9 3/8" hands.

Bottom line: the article is bullshit

Joey, I think you are dead on... I also think Barkley is gone at 1 the Giants trade out of 2.

Nope. QB #1. Dorsey's not stupid.

small hands lead to deflategate?

Dear Dorsey, ignore Jon. Please draft Allen or darnold. We will take the qb who doesn’t care about football. Thanks in advance.

There are ways around the hand size issue even in cold weather. Like under-inflating the footballs, for example.

With other data suggesting he likes Allen. But why would he make it so obvious he s not taking Darnold.

Because he then said winning, accuracy and arm strength were what he was looking for which apart from arm strength, pretty much eliminates Allen.

Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands...

and listen to Dorsey's comments and I encourage anyone else to do so who wants to get more of the flavor and nuance.

The hand size comments come up around the 12:00 mark and I think they are worth noting.

There are other comments earlier in the conference that focus on winning as a bottom line.

Certainly don't see him as ruling out Darnold (or Mayfield) but it is notable that, when asked "What is unique about Cleveland?", hand size and November/December football is what he came up with (and he does goes on for a bit.)
