Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

And for comparison's sake... Favre/ Rodgers have hands at 10 1/8th and larger
My guess is at some point in his career he will need to start throwing with a glove on, especially November and later in the year.

What are you smoking? Dorsey got his QBOTF and he's a raw athlete that is definitely a project. 2 year project and Reid/Dorsey's interviews indicate such. PM II is FAR from game ready as Reid discussed. You start him in 2018 and you're looking at 10 wins max, especially if he plays a SOS like the one we have this year and the 2 years prior. [Reply]

I dont give a **** what he says they measure. He also says he doesn't **** guys...
Rodgers never mentioned his actual hand size, but they were measured at 10⅛ inches at the 2005 NFL combine before he was drafted. Anything over 9½ inches is considered above average for a quarterback. Rodgers’ hands measured considerably larger than the other two quarterbacks

You are probably right, as I heard they deflated the game balls at Tech and made sure Mahomes didn't trim his fingernails the whole season, to make up for his hand size deficiency,, [Reply]

I always knew that when you went in to full loser mode it was going to be quite the sight to see, but I never imagined you would hang your hat on such an arcane talking point.
Please continue making a fool of yourself. Carry on. [Reply]

I'm talking about the immediate relevance this team now has. Once Montana came, look how much coverage we got and how many people became instant fans. You could see it coming during the pre draft hype. All the media talked about was Watson and Mahomes. Trubisky was a side note. [Reply]
I remember when the Adrian Peterson child abuse stuff was happening, and Bufkin was still trolling the board. He said something like, "That's nothing... one time my neighbor fingered his son's butthole because he got a C in math. And we're not talking just average mitts, either. This guy has HUGE and meaty fingers."
Saccopoo was outright disgusted, and I think he knew he was trolling, so he said, "Great. I just called the FBI that you were witness to child abuse and didn't tell anyone. You'll be answering some questions."
This started a legitimate conversation about whether or not Saccopoo actually called the FBI. I think it was Hootie who finally pointed out, "What the hell are you guys smoking? What do you think he did? Do you think he got on the phone and said, "Yeah, it's Saccopoo from Chiefs Planet. Let me tell you what Bufkin said!"

RIP Sac
Wait. . .What? Bufkin lives next to a successful QB? [Reply]
