If you play even the simplest flag football, you'd know it helps you gripping and holding onto the ball.


Other quarterbacks like it more inflated. So your point here is moot.

Totally a subjective feeling. What I feel with my hand and finger size is different than you. Not to mention my grip style is different, my throwing style...

light punishment.



Pretty sure they will still continue to find ways to cheat if this is all that happens and they get more lombardis.

The point is that they know and they know what they like.

No.

I'm saying he picked the balls to his liking like everyone else. Most likely having no idea the PSI was too low, or else the would have all been low.

The punishment suits me just fine. Asking for more than 2 draft picks and 4 weeks by the only person involved who happens to be a first ballot hall of famer? Too much if you want more it becomes what the Saints got: too much.

The deflation helps with gripping. Harder to fumble if you have a better grip. Doesn't mean it's impossible though.

I'm not even talking about the feel for a qb, strictly just holding it in your arms and running like a rb

I don't think his point had to do with throwing the ball. Going deep with a more inflated ball would be better.

He's talking about holding on to the football

Lulz at you. I'm not remotely a Pats fan. I prefer Manning over Brady, I don't like anything about the Pats. Never have. I'm just being reasonable.

I've never been anything but a Cowboys fan, I've basically never even promoted Brady. Why would I give a shite?

Yeah, you are like all the after the fact apologists now saying the rule should be changed to fit what the QB wants.

Saints fans view the Saints as somehow competitive with the elite NFL teams, hence a perceived rivalry with any top team or player.

So why are we punishing the QB if the RB gets the benefit?

I said this?


I said the punishment is just. I didn't call it a witch hunt. Argue this with someone else, I'm not suggesting more rule changes to a game that has too many already.

Do y'all really thing all the QB's have a specific PSI for their balls?

I haven't heard one former QB say that during this whole ordeal.

Colts had 4 balls under the PSI limit for the same game.
How many games will Luck be suspended?
Will they lose a draft pick and be fined?
