re: SIAP: Deflategate is not about Brady and the receivers. It's about TO's (Link)

Brady is a big, strong QB with giant hands and he gets rid of the ball quickly. He isn't going to fumble a lot.
To be fair, he does typically sit at the bottom of the league in fumbles, but it's not every year and it's not like he isn't fumbling at all. I said it earlier, but this is likely a case of him liking the ball at a certain psi less than the legal range. Not hard to figure out how the elements will effect the pressure in the ball based on the weather. A softer ball would be easier to hold onto when it's cold outside. Don't think it's a high level of cheating, but it is breaking the rules to give you the best conditions to win. Not so much an advantage as it is a disregarding of rules to have the ball how you want it. Doesn't look good that Brady was the main proponent of wanting to use his own balls for each game.

It only looks that way to someone that made up their mind before hearing any facts. Prior to the rule change, the home team supplied the game balls. So half of the games every QB was able to use football that was prepared to their liking. The other half of the games, they didn't try out the game balls until pre-game warmups. And those balls were picked out by your opponent.
Read this article. It is from 2013 and gives some good insight as to why a QB might want to use their own ball.
