Hold up. You're telling me the standard of arm length for the absolute monsters among men is 34 inches? And that a lot of the stars in the NFL don't even reach that threshold?

Jesus, I guess my 37 inch arms really are freakishly long. No wonder I can't find a got dang dress shirt that fits.

First post: "I don't believe arms length to be make or break"

Follow-up: "I'm posing the question with the thread.  Appreciate the points about leverage by come and the apt comp to Gross.  But it is true some staff's do in fact look at arm length as it is a big component to the position.  But as with everything it's one of many and countless exceptions to the rule are found that make up for it like Jason Peters, Joe Thomas, Jordan Gross as I mentioned."

I legit identified the variables and gave credence to them.  Am I in crazy land or is no one trying to gauge how in consideration of priorities and all variables considered, which guy we may like most?

Thread is strange; but not bc of the sax dude.  Which is a first. 

But @sax you should probably give it up, people are taking it as you saying arm length is a tell all, when you're clearly saying otherwise.

I'm confused...so support pantherclaw's post

Hurney sold us a cheap run down car.  Called him a First round draft pick and he wouldn't have been good as a 4th round pick.  Greg doesn't have the heart to play in the NFL.

 

His technique is what is really bad.  He relied on sheer power in college and everyone but the hurndog knew that

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
