I don't know man, I played qb up my junior year in high school and I found it a lot easier to get a better grip on the ball by not using the laces. Unless it was a deep pass, then I would use just my index and middle fingers on the very edge of the laces, but for the most part I would use the seams of the ball for my thumb and middle finger. No excuse though for a pro-qb who has had a coach his whole life

Well if he practices it enough then I really don't have a problem with it. QB's have to get the ball out quick. However my concern is that since he has small hands to begin with he needs all the grip he can get.

Did u see the pre-game a week or 2 ago where they talked with him during warm ups and mentioned something about his hands? He kind of gave them a dirty look and said " they're big enough" lmfao :party:

probably an anomaly, i doubt he he throws like that on every play. and if he does, it clearly doesn't affect his accuracy. clausen's problems right now are his inability to get rid of the ball before pressure gets to him (admittedly, the line takes partial blame for this) and his unwillingness to take shots down the field.

if he doesn't use the laces regularly, though, it'd be interesting to know how much faster his release would be if he did...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
