So your comparing Sam Darnold to the fumble king? Hahahah. How bout you call out the worst right guard in the history of sports?

And that is why I don't like the retro unis. Because they suck.

Krieg had a huge fumbling problem. The worst were when he’d go back to pass and the ball would just slip out of his hand.
That was a common reference in my friend group when we played pickup ball — "You/I Krieged it!"

Really are we doing this oh my God did anyone see where the guy came from and how quickly I was at the game and I knew it was going to be a problem when I saw the sack that was untouched and the ball came out it is football the other team gets paid too but hand size has nothing to do with it not yesterday anymore anyway

I see the problem as him having less than great pocket awareness. When he has all day to throw and time to patiently go through his reads, he is noney.

This. All day this. Which is why I find it baffling to me that KK cannot SEE this and scheme around it when defenders bring the house.

Baffling.

Your worst take of all time. The Retros are straight fire.

Only explanation I can think of is that he's still relatively new to this OC business.

Hopefully he discovers a solution soon.

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean.

Per Brady Henderson, Sam's hand size is "Average" for an NFL QB. Henderson went back and reviews Darnold's fumbles and said that some of them can't be helped.

And, hand size does matter. Otherwise they wouldn't measure them at the combine. DeAndre Hopkins had 10" hands and caught everything that got near him.

Russell Wilson had hands that were 10.25 inches. (That's HAND size...)

Micah Parsons: The linebacker's hands measure 11 inches.

Rob Gronkowski & Dak Prescott: Both have 10.88-inch hands.

Will Levis: The quarterback has the largest hands among active quarterbacks at 10.63 inches.

Anthony Richardson & Jordan Love:
Both have hands that measure 10.50 inches.


Hour 4-How do you fix CFB?, Brady Henderson and Trash Takes


How do you fix college football? Brock and Salk discuss why change needed to happen but how out of hand things have become and where you go from here.

Then, ESPN Seahawks reporter Brady Henderson joins us to discuss whether Jalen Sundell should be moved to right guard when he returns,

When we could see Jarran Reed start to practice,

If this is the best Seahawks defensive front ever

And the questions still surrounding whether you can trust Sam Darnold in big games.
