"what do Jimmy Clausen's passes have none of?"

[OneBadassCat]

He doesn't grab the laces?

[Stroupe-a-loop]

In twenty years, someone will go into Jimmy's house and find the saying "laces out Kalil" splattered in blood everywhere. Also he will be a kind of busted chick working for the Miami police department.

That's what living and breathing football for your entire life will get you.

His dad must not have been a very good coach.

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:

[HSCBandit07]

Think we could trade him to the Chiefs?

Karnak, you have done it again....

[PhillyB]

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...

[Captain Obvious]

Laces? We don't need no stinking laces!
