Do Small hands pose a problem in the cold north?

I ask this question ,because it's cold in buffalo and Jake Fromm may have set the record for smallest qb hands ever at the combine, I can't find smaller yet.
Some on here seem to think it's important, I don't really.

It gets cold in Cincy too.
But Beaureaux got that extra 1/8th of an inch in hand size over Jake Fromm State Farm.

Fromm's biggest problem is that he doesn't like to throw in the rain. He was absolutely terrible in the two games where it poured, Kentucky and A&M. I'm not sure how he expects to resolve the issue because eventually, he's going to play in a game with shitty weather.

I really don't understand hand size measurements.
My hands measure 9 3/4 but I feel like an NFL-sized football is kinda large for my hands. I'm pathetic with a basketball.
Seems like hand size (the way it's measured in the NFL) has more to do with how well your fingers spread rather than actual size.

Actually, he was right in the middle of the draft in hand size, 1/8th inch smaller than Burrow.
His weather effected games would have effected Manning or Elway just the same. It poured.

If he “doesn’t like to throw” in rainy weather, how does he ever expect to play a game at the next level?

Good thing Burrow plays in sunny Cincinnati...
Oh wait...
It gets cold there too!

Joe's hands are bigger then Fromms. The difference isn't the big deal the difference is that he has hands smaller then any successful qb.

He's not average, he's below 9 Inches . He's at the bottom of the pack in the history of measuring qbs hands

I'm just saying, people talk about Joes and Jake's are record breakers

Thats because people are trying to find a weakness for joe
You don't have to talk about hand size to talk about Fromm's shortcomings.

If you want to fixate on another man’s hand size, the A&M board is just a click away

You aren't looking very hard then. The very first article I found said there was a set smaller this year at the combine. The second article has Brandon Allen and Tony Romo as having the same size hand as Fromm and Kliff Kinsgbury as being smaller.

I think you're missing the point. The fixation on burrow hand size was unreal

Yes, it's an obvious issue. Jake should have stayed to enjoy his Senior season at UGA; he will never be a starting QB in the NFL.

It gets cold in Cincinnati, but that picture is from literally the coldest game (by wind chill, it was -59!!!) in league history. Dan Fouts has said multiple times that the difference in the Freezer Bowl was Ken Anderson using his gigantic hands to effectively throw tight spirals in the cold.

I guess his hands are just big enough to securely hold a clipboard. He's not going to play so it doesn't matter.
