uh oh…

Either it rains, or it doesn't rain. The chances have always been, and always will be 50/50.

Same odds as winning the lottery if you ask me.

Yeah, the Windy app says it's probably going to be very lightly raining on and off during the game. It's a nothing burger and shouldn't affect anything.

Thats a big concern for the game. The sample size for Purdy in the rain is small, but its concerning. His hands are small. He doesnt have elite arm strength. We've seen this be a very real thing for other QBs. Take Jared Goffs dome vs outdoor record for example. I was at the 2013 Oregon vs Cal game where Goff was leading the nation in passing yards per game at the time and they pulled their stud QB in the first quarter because he simply could not grip the football. I'm not saying or predicting that Purdy is going to have issues, but its a concern in my mind.

The real question is if KS can hold back the sports car. Treat Purdy like Garoppolo if necessary and just run the ball.

Who cares about Brock's hand size, let's focus on the hand size of CMC, Mitchell and Mason

We've always had an overabundance of snow flakes for every game.

Purdy's hands are 9.25 in, which is the same as Patrick Mahomes. Just stop.

Fixed ;)

You want to make a strawman about handsize, because theres little evidence of Purdy playing well in the rain. Which could easily be explained by sample size, but could also be a potential issue.

If its that kind of game, I have confidence in that style of play.

Hand size?
