I don't know you didn't exactly post his thumb...
I mean, you don't grip a football with your hand stretched to the max but the proper way to grip a football to throw it has your hand naturally stretched out. |

I mean seriously, I'm supposed to believe that my hand is almost the same size as the average QB in the draft?

On my THREE TIME DEFENDING CHAMPION FLAG FOOTBALL TEAM our QB is 5'8" 235 lbs and he has a ****ing HOWITZER cannon...his hands are approximately the same size as mine. The dude can literally throw it 60 yards on a rope...he's amazing. Literally the best QB in our league and it's not close. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS...these QB's are human beings and they aren't FREAKS like LeBron James or NBA players who are ABNORMALLY tall. That combine picture of Tom Brady with his shirt off looks pretty much how I look with a ****ing shirt off...I just can't throw a football 65 yards on a rope with precision accuracy. Just because they are great QB's doesn't mean they have to have superhuman hands...they are still human beings |

Guys, hand SPAN is far more useful a measure, arguing otherwise is ridiculous. (I can't see how anyone who has thrown a football can't see that) That doesn't mean that it is what the NFL uses... BUT the vast vast majority of sources claim that it is.

This makes sense to me. I'm 5'9" and have fairly short fingers, with my middle finger being less than 3.5 inches long, but I can palm a basketball because I've got a hand span of 9.75 inches.

that being said your hands are pretty solid for a man
I'll give the prettiness a 7.5 out of 10 they don't look like abnormally large hands like the measurement suggests but I just can't tell...I don't have anything to compare it to. |

we use the same ball every week at flag football and my buddy is the only one who throws it and it's hilarious...he grips the **** out of the ball because there are too imprinted thumb prints on each end...
dude has just a flat out cannon...he was one of those guys that really didn't develop 100% physically until he was about 19...throws a baseball 85 MPH and he just lights up the flag football field we haven't lost a game in 4 straight sessions...and we're the only team that doesn't call plays or wear those gay ass wrist bands like a bunch of homos... we just ****ing school yard it and pwn everyone...the black teams don't like losing to 27 year old white kids |

Is Hootie, in some Rex Ryan type way, attracted to my hands?
