​Joe Burrow's old post resurfaces and raises eyebrows as fans believe they know why he can't lead Bengals to playoffs

Joe Burrow, the quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, has recorded an impressive performance in the 2024 season of the NFL but missed out on the playoffs and the subsequent Super Bowl trophy. Recently, ESPN’s SportsCentre shared a post on Joe Burrow that has raised eyebrows and has convinced fans about the reason behind why the star player has not been able to lead his team to the NFL Playoffs yet.


ESPN’s SportsCentre recently shared a post on X about how it has been exactly five years since Joe Burrow made a post on X where he joked about how he would have to retire soon due to his small hands. Five years ago, as per ESPN, his hand size was measured to be nine inches. This caused a lot of memes and debates in 2020 but fans have a different opinion on it.
A fan wrote, “his little hands is prolly why he cant make the playoffs”, while another fan wrote, “if they were bigger maybe he wouldn’t have been injured so much”.

A third fan wrote, “Durability still remains an issue”, while another user wrote, “Fine enough to not win a Super Bowl, not make the playoffs afterwards. Overrated does not even scratch the surface with this guy. ✋🙄”

However, some of Joe Burrow’s fans have strongly defended him against the trolls. A fan wrote, “Hand size drama! 😂 Who would've thought Joe Burrow would prove everyone wrong?! 🙌 Five years later, he's a Super Bowl contender and one of the NFL's top QBs! Guess hand size doesn't measure heart or talent! 💪”
Another fan wrote, “Yes, this tweet is well aged! Joe Buro joked about the idea of retirement after his hand-sized measurements in the 2020 NFL combine and is now one of the top quarterback in the league.”
A third fan supporting Joe Burrow wrote, “Joe Burrow’s hand size might have made some people laugh, but it was just a small moment in his path to becoming a star in the NFL.”

In 2020, Joe Burrow’s hand size had become a huge topic for debate among fans. As he made the post on X in 2020, many of his teammates supported him. Even Patrick Mahomes replied to him about how his hands are 9.5 inches but he is “doing just fine”.
Five years later, Joe Burrow is currently at the top of his game as he keeps recording impressive performances on the field. While he might not have won a Super Bowl in the 2024 season, fans are hopeful of a trophy in the next season.
His personal life has also been a topic od speculation but he prefers to keep it private.
