Yep. Remember the arguing in the "Overpay" threads on the old site?

Edit: Actually, I went back and found the old thread. We were, overall, more excited about it than I remembered.

The last two moves Ted did before stepping down was extending Davante and Linsley in like December.

Given we had no idea who GM was gunna be, always thought that was a bit strange to do, to be honest.

Both turned out brilliant, but no deadlines or time crunches to get either contract done, figured you’d let the next GM handle it.

came out to about 12 mil annual, boy did we make out on that deal, I remember being one of the few here to defend Adams his 2nd season, if I had a fog horn I'd blow it :lol: at this stage though and with our cap issues in mind, paying both Rodgers and Adams seems like a impossible task.

I knew Rodgers and Love both passed with flying colors, but wow, running away from competition.

Love can probably palm the clipboard!

I've got Taysom Hill hands and I can say, it's not easy to properly throw a regulation football.

So funny that Taysom Hill is the smallest and Russell Wilson is the biggest. Seems so backwards.

There's the potential to have a lot of good changes reverted with them lifting Covid protocols. PS size, IR rules. Hoping they keep some of that stuff going forward.

I also have Hill-sized hands and I can confirm. If the ball is even slightly wet, I might as well give up!

If the new IR rules don't stick, that's ridiculous. It's better for the game as a whole.

How do you actually measure a hand size, where to where? Curious to see where I stack up.

Probably small compared to NFL gunslingers, but I think I'm probably a bit bigger than average. I could palm a basketball last time I tried.

unless they've changed it, it's tip of pinkie, to tip of thumb with all fingers stretched to max, hand palm down on table, with 25 lb. concrete slab mashing the hand to table ( the concrete slab is optional and only allowed at pro days :lol: )

do both hands, or just your throwing hand cause they wont be the same, my left is 9 1/4 my right is 8 3/4 with the 25 lb slab of concrete lol, seriously my throwing hand has a 1/2 inch less spread then my off hand

At the NFL Combine, they measure hands by taking a tape measure from the tip of the thumb to the pinky finger with the hand outstretched. The average hand size for a male is 8.5 inches.
I got 9 1/4 on both hands. No Kenny Pickett hands here.

Favre’s were 10 3/8ths.

I remember John Madden saying that when he met Brett the first thing he noticed was how big his hands were.
Love is the answer…
