that seems like a pretty low threshold,  I would think 9.5-10" would be more of a lower level limit

If I was bragging.... I would have dropped my number,  I am simply trying to elevate the clubs acceptance standards. :p

That is good for Tua...  10 inch hands at 6'0 tall is impressive.  That's half an inch larger than Baker Mayfield and just a 1/4 inch shorter than Russell Wilson (both shorter than average QBs).

Jordan Love has some enormous mitts for a QB.  He definitely fits the prototype for an NFL QB in terms of size, arm strength, hand-size, etc.  He will probably do very well in interviews as well...  I'm most concerned with his accuracy and decision making at the NFL level.

Jordan Love is looking like this year's Josh Allen with his crazy measurables but inconsistent tape. If he does well at the combine, he'll continue to rise and could even go top 10.

Love is a very intriguing prospect.

Joe Burrows reportedly had his hand span measured at 9 inches flat.  That is tied for the smallest of any NFL QB prospect since 2008...

You have to throw out 2019...9 starters, the HC, and OC gone from the prior year...

No offense, but you can't just excuse his 2019 year.  It all goes into his evaluation as an NFL prospect.  Personally, I think that a new coach and losing some players from his 2018 season probably magnified some of his flaws.  I think he is a better QB than he showed in 2019, but not as good as people thought he was in 2018.

I'm luke warm on him.

Considering retirement after I was informed the football will be slipping out of my tiny hands. Please keep me in your thoughts.

What...  we just ignore the fact that he didn't play well this season?  Russell Wilson played well at NC State and then went to Wisconsin with a brand new coaching staff and teammates.  He had an amazing season where they went to the Rose Bowl.  Those things certainly didn't affect him.

I mean Love might be good, but all I'm saying is I'm not sold on him.  There are a lot of things to like, but he definitely has bust potential.  I wouldn't feel comfortable taking him in the first round.  He looks like a Day 2 pick to me.
