In most situations, you won't have your hands fully extended if you're trying to use them. It's why you can't just go off of arm measurements alone.
If you don't think that measurement matters, stand facing a wall and push on it with your hands flat against it and your arms extended. If someone was pushing against you in the same way, if they had a longer net arm length, you wouldn't be able to reach them.
It's a good thing pass rushers aren't going against a wall
You're acting like he has 30" arms that's the dumb part. 33" while not "elite" isn't bad either. There are a f**k ton of successful pass rushers that don't meet that 34" arm length that everyone creams in their pants over.
Like hero stated heavy hands and technique are the backbone of a good edge rusher. Bosa has that in spades. Toss in good bend, f**king power, and explosiveness...that's a damn good pass rusher.
I have no idea why you try so hard to throw shade on him then when you get called out for it you get all defensive. We get it you wanted QW (who has short ass arms and even smaller hands). Let it go...
I'm not throwing shade at Bosa lol. I wasn't the one that brought up his arm length. I said I don't think his arm length (net or otherwise) is going to prevent him from being productive as a pass rusher. I don't even criticize him that much. I just pretend his flaws don't exist, but I'm as excited as anyone to see what he can bring to this team.
