Before the news came out that he had "small" hands, I don't recall anybody on this board showing concern over his hand size. Once the news came out at the SR bowl, posters seem to use that against him, even though it never seemed to present a problem.
He has never had a fumbling problem. Contrary to recent scouting reports, people who have actually watched him know he has above average arm strength. "His deep balls flutter"....sometimes, and that is not on account of having small hands entirely. I would peg that on mechanics rather than having small hands. Again, Michael Vick had the same size hands...had no problems getting the ball where he wanted to get it [respectfully].
So this whole hand thing is ridiculous...

I'm not at all concerned about his hand size affecting his performance on the field. We already have enough evidence to suggest he's not a fumbler.
I'm concerned that his hand size will affect his DRAFT STOCK. NFL teams are notoriously OBSESSED with measurables.
Just listen to Buffalo GM Buddy Nix talk about Mike Glennon - "He's got a cannon for an arm. Needs a lot of work on his feet and his accuracy. But oh man, what an arm..."
*I* wouldn't pass on him because of it but several NFL teams WILL.
By the way, you should have left the Vick reference out. He's a fumbling machine.
