Pickett has little hands.

Small hands on a bigger ball is a bigger deal, especially for a guy that's going to have his hands on the ball every play....playing behind thus OL. Oye.

I said before that I think it's kinda silly we've spent all this time mocking Rhule for being worried about Christensen and Slater's arm length only to turn around and now be all caught up in Pickett's hand size.

To be clear, I don't want us to draft Pickett, but his hand size isn't part of the reason why.

[Waldo]

The guy had to prep for his hand getting measured...at 8.5"...

Vick had 8 5" hands but he also had a ton more goibg fir him than Picketts does. 

No idea if his hands are big enough. He throws ducks and isn't a real good prospect.

[CarolinaNCSU]

If we take baby hands, after arm length was such an issue for the OT's...Rhule can just STFU about anything ever again. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Hos hands are smaller than mine and I can tell you that throwing a wet football isn't easy for me.

[Captroop]

WTF? I just measured, and even I have bigger hands that Pickett. I can't palm a basketball, much less sling an NFL-sized football in the rain without it slipping out of my hand in the wind-up.

[Pimpdaddy]

If he is the pick... just trade it.... he would be a wasted pick.

I don't think we need a QB this year. Let Darnold and FA fight it out and invest in the rest of the team and let Rhule prove something without having him chain us to yet another QB.

A bit larger than the reported 8” on the dot. He’s at least Mike Vick sized now and only the 4th smallest ever measured for a modern QB lol

Michael Vick fumbled 98 times in 148 games, I dunno where that ranks % wise but that's bad. Plenty of them were in the pocket too

well in all fairness we needed one last year too and they decided to trade for a guy that already sucked

Ranked Mayfield behind Darnold, Rudolph and Rosen?

Ouch

Most had Darnold ranked #1 so considering he correctly had Allen as the #1 and Jackson as the #2 is pretty impressive

Rhule needs to get out of here. Ride with darnold this year and end up back in the top 5 then toss them both

McAdoo's thoughts on Baker Mayfield, relevant part bolded and underlined:

 

https://brownswire.usatoday.com/2018/07/15/ben-mcadoos-wacky-qb-rankings-had-baker-mayfield-no-6/

 

McAdoo's view of that QB class:

1. Josh Allen

2. Lamar Jackson

3. Sam Darnold

4. Josh Rosen

5. Mason Rudolph

6. Baker Mayfield

 

Just food for thought...

Good stuff

i mean we had last year to get mac or fields…you can say you don’t like them but at some point you roll the dice and develop someone unless you tank

we had top 10 pick 3 years in a row…that’s really as good as it gets unless you tank

i think this franchise is just too high on moral, non strategic victories 

should’ve tanked in 2019, where are all those moral victory fans? Probably still partying celebrating that win vs Saint third stringers…the reality and irony of it is they’ve probably lost interest
