Outlaw Gloves? Not fair to former players?

What if a QB wanted to have the balls inflated so that it fit their hands better for throwing?

You'd have to have some pretty big balls to do that.

PEDs are dumb. 

It's kinda like NASCAR. What's the difference between all the cars running at 160mph or 170mph? The fans can't really tell the difference. The only thing you are doing is wearing out the engines faster, burning more fuel and wearing down tires faster.

If everyone was juicing, the game would be marginally faster, but at what cost? This game already takes an incredible toll on the human body, so why add to the damage with these PEDs?

I say that only stat nerds and FF players give a damn about statistics.

It certainly puts the one handed catch in some perspective.

I never understood how these professionals drop passes considering how sticky the gloves are. 

If you haven't tried them out, you should so you can understand what I'm saying.

The only thing I can't think of is that they have SO MUCH GRIP that the way you catch the ball fells unnatural from a physics perspective.

Normally you would position your hands for the ball softly "slide" into place. You anticipate the speed of the ball and adjust accordingly.

With these gloves, there is no slide. As soon as the ball touches the glove, the movement of the ball stops, so you have to catch the ball where you want your hands to end up.

Instead of a soft catch without gloves, you trap the ball with gloves.

Your hands have to touch the ball milliseconds after when you would naturally want to, otherwise you would always catch the tip of the ball.

Hope this description makes some sense lol.
