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 frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
