He's been wearing them every week hasn't he?  I just assumed all receivers wore them lol.

I can't speak for every week, but I know for a fact he had them on yesterday. He took them off and gave them to a kid in front of me after his two TD's and the little guy let me fondle those wonderful empty digits Ginn was previously wearing.

More Ginn glove pls.

The video plays up the one handed catches as if it's happening at an absurd rate.

Is it really?

Clearly the gloves help, but they aren't turning every wide receiver in the NFL into Odell Beckham Jr.

As for what is "fair to former players", you may as well start outlawing everything modern in the NFL that may give players an advantage if you start going down that road.

i mean even jerry rice admitted to using stick'em.

Players will cheat every which way they can. If they really want to even the playing field they'll fix the rules and start testing for HGH. 

I actually think they should all be forced to do a safe amount under the care of a dr. I believe soldiers should too. But I know it's not realistic. But I want the best performance possible under the safety for all involved. Flame away.

Yeah so much has changed from when I was a kid watching football to now.  Today's game is fun to watch, but it is nowhere near as physical as it used to be. 

Those older receivers would be killing it in today's game.

Yeah I am kind of like that too.  It's their body, they get paid millions of dollars to do what they do so let them wreck it if they want to.  Only problem with that though (and it ALWAYS comes back to this) are the kids.  That poo would filter down to the colleges and high schools.  And 99% of those in high schools would be wrecking their bodies for nothing because there's only so many spots on an NFL team.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers’ Biggest Roster Needs

      By NAS · Posted

      BPA in draft all the way. Address your biggest needs in free agency.

      Exactly.  You let him play out next season and continue to develop Thorton.  Jackson’s earned his next contract, but his age and the risk of tying up such a large portion of the payroll at one position leads me to believe that we’ll let him walk. In all likelihood, we’ll draft another CB, or two, and bring in some journeymen to fill the roster void, between now and the start of the 2027 season.  That’ll create more balance financially across the roster enabling us to invest in other areas.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      By strato · Posted

      As far as the NFCS … I think this division will be hotly contested the next couple of years.   I am tending to pay more respect to both Atlanta and the Saints n terms of how strong they will be moving forward, than not.    I am mixed on Ryan but think they have a decent roster to start with. I don’t think he blundered hiring Stefanski. And that offense can be dangerous with a QB. Plus, defense is arrow up. No 1st round pick, WB issues will dull their effectiveness. Question is, to what degree?   I think Moore is going to be a good HC and can overcome tape that people have on Shough. They need a lot but they were playing with people. Just the way you want to see all the way to the end.    Not sure about Tampa they have Mayfield but I don’t think they can maintain their success and Bowles is not going to last much longer. They have to go through all that. Gonna be tough once it starts. Might already have started.    For us I feel pretty good about Morgan. But less so about our offense, we have some short term RB and OL issues and those things are critical given what we are working with at QB.  Overall, mixed. Like a lot of what I see but some major question marks remain.
