Sorry man but a little over half an inch is not going to make or break a player in ANY circumstance.
Old School might be placing more emphasis on arm length than neededn but there is a reason it's measured.

The only good player that I can even think of with arms that are less than 33" long is Trent Cole at 32 7/8".
Look up Jared Allen and Elvis Dumervil. I believe they are only 32.

No I agree 100%, but that's taking it a little too far.

You're a weaker version of Stephen Hawking.

Dee Ford is Derrick Thomas just like Glen Dorsey was Warren Sapp.

Dwight Freeney!

It's amazing that people miss the point. It's not about him being the next DT or Miller it's about having that unique first step that they both possessed when looking at his potential.

Im not missing the point at all. I got that. but, fans are irrational. They don't think like that.

Some short armed (under 33) pass rushers:

James Harrison
Jared Allen
Terrell Suggs
Cameron Wake
Joey Porter
Trent Cole
Elvis Dumervil
Clay Matthews

There were reports that Tamba Hali's arms were only 30 3/8

So yeah, I'd say the idea that Pass rushers who don't have 33 inch arms are somehow hamstrung is probably not really true.

That's not to say it doesn't help, but proper technique is always going to matter more.

Wasn't talking about you, but yea it's also bc they want to be negative about a pick they don't know much about.
