    Well I guess you can keep repeating inaccurate information as much as you like, but it won't make it true.

    http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/football/2005draft/Rodgers,Aaron-QB-California.htm

    His hands measure 9 3/8, which isn't "large" so I was mistaken, but he didn't blow his pro day and blame it on not wearing gloves.

    i rechecked and rodgers does come in at 9 3/8, regardless, claiming that 9 3/8 are large and 9 1/4 is small is nonsense, its an 1/8th of an inch.. its like saying 6'0" is tall but 5'11 7/8" is short..

    no its you trying to make a mountain out of a molehill because well you have to be the smartest guy in the room. thats why you correct others typos and and get very technical about miniscule details like what exact words you used even if the words are interchangable..

    Just stop making false comparisons to try and further your narrative and everything will be fine. You want to make the Aaron Rodgers comparison, but it's just not there.

    The fact that Teddy Bridgewater can't get a good grip on the ball with his 9 1/4 inch hands is the only thing that matters.

    One guy doesn't need gloves to get a proper grip

    And one does.

    it didn't matter in college, why should it matter in the NFL?

    Because college isn't the NFL.....Tebow was a pretty good passer in college.

    In the college you can make mistakes and still have them end up as completions or maybe even TD's but you won't get away with that in the NFL. It's why Manziel isn't IMO a legitimate NFL QB prospect.

    So long as they always work and are never wet....Point is you are relying on equipment to make up for the natural deficiencies of a player, Bridgewater can't throw the ball at an NFL level without them.

    Who cares if the guy wears a damn glove. Seriously worrying bout a glove. It is what it is. He feel more comfortable with a glove so let it be

    uhh, QBs typically wear gloves SPECIFICALLY FOR POOR WEATHER!

    So Bridgewater likes to wear them in optimal weather too, no harm

    this isnt a fact, have you ever thrown a football? in hs? at any level? if you cant get a good grip on a football you cant toss a spiral period.. teddy has thrown without a glove, hes completed passes without one in college.. again, he says when he arrived at louisville the ball felt like a brick in the cold so he opted to use gloves. so you can just completey ignore that and try and create your own opinion that he cant grip a football if you want, just dont try and pass it off as fact. sounds like your doing the exact thing you accuse others of..

    umm so you think teddy has never played in a wet game? do you realize that many qbs turn to the gloves when these exact elements are present..

    i think its more of a comfort thing now more than anything. he spent 3 years playing in gloves, going to bare hand for a workout wasnt a smart move.. this idea that he cant grip the football without gloves is nonsense. he tossed a football 50 yards without one at his pro day..

    What really matters is can TB throw the ball in actual games?
    The answer is he has the highest overall completion rate of any of the QB's in this draft.

    Lol... This guy bobby is getting blasted.

    First he claims Rodgers hands are large and Bridgewater's are small, when their really both "small". Then he gets upset when a poster is of 1/8 of an inch on Rodgers hands as spouting misinformation. Uhhhh... Hypocrite much??

    Then he points to rain and weather as a concern for a glove wearing QB when Thise are the exact elements that often result in a QB putting on a glove.

    Keep it up bobby!! Lol
