Matt Stafford's Big Hands

[OregonRamsFan]

I came for the comments. I wasn’t disappointed.

Yup, just measured... right hand 10"

Left hand 10.5"

Detroit Fans: create a damn house warming present to share their best memories with a qb who never won a playoff game in 12 years(?)

Rams Fans: curse the first winning qb they’ve had for over a decade ...

Wait, must we stop at this ? I'll never forget ...


Jared Goff Didn't Know Where the Sun Rises
I don't think a big enough deal is being made of this. When Rams quarterbacks coach Chris Weinke asked Goff where the sun rises and sets, the former Cal quarterback had no idea.

For more than two decades, Goff went about his days paying no attention to how the sun moved in the sky, never noticing that it rises and sets in literally the same places every single day. Too busy tossing the ol' pigskin around to notice the biggest star in the universe, I suppose.

Fortunately, pleading ignorance is better than what his teammate Pharoh Cooper did. When asked the same question, the rookie wide receiver responded, "the air?" The Rams are going 0-16.

For somebody talking shit, I find it funny that the person who wrote the article says the sun is the biggest star in the universe.

Hey we've humiliated Goff in just about every way as he leaves us, how about one more shot at his hands?

Average NFL QB hand size is around 9.5 inches (thumb to pinky). Although its not the only predictor of success (Brady's are 9.38"), Goff's hands infamously measured well below average at a mere 9".

What about Stafford's hands? Well, I'm glad you asked. He measured a full 10.0" at the combine. He's just 6'3", but he has the hands of a 7' man according to this webpage.

62 Quarterbacks With the Largest Hand Sizes in NFL History

Hand size is important for a quarterback. Nearly every play has the quarterback handling the ball, and small hands mean less ball control. Quarterbacks such as Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have shown it's possible to have success at a height of 6'0" or shorter if you have huge hands.

Goff's hands were still larger than the average adult male (8.5") but that's kind of like saying Johnny Depp (5'10") is taller than the average adult male.

Stafford's hands are 11% larger than Goff's. That's like going from an Iphone 12 to an Iphone 12 Pro Max. Awesome upgrade (if you have big enough hands to hold it).

For a big man (6'5 230lbs) Goff had tiny hands

If you have smaller hands hand size is no big deal but if you have big ones it can definitely make a difference.
I think Goff’s hands did make a difference in his ball security problems.

Stafford has 68 fumbles in just over 10 seasons himself...
