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...

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
