Much has been said about Goff's small hands. They measured in at 9" at the Combine and then were remeasured at 9.125" a week or so later. Some said he had his hand stretched or something like that and Goff laughed it off. Well, what do you think Carr's hands measured in at? Look it up. Carr's hands are 9.125"
So their hands are about the same size give or take 1/8", if you think that would make any difference. I don't. I think they are the same. They both have hands on the small side.
I do think both their hand sizes is a negative for them.
Carr fumbled 10 times in his rookie year, and again 10 times in his 2nd year. Last year, in his 3rd year, he cut that to 5 fumbles.
Goff fumbled 5 times in his rookie year in 7 games. Thats not much worse than Carr's rate. And Goff was clearly is a worse situation.
Without big hands a QB can especially not have poor spatial awareness. That is the big problem I see with Goff now. To me that's the one big negative that separates him from Carr.
