Quote:And unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to even showcase that he can make SOME of the throws without any defenders this offseason.  And his glove/no glove issue was another thing that bothered me.  If you can't throw without gloves, fine... but then why train without them "because it was warm in Miami" and why not wear them for your pro day?  Do I want a QB saying "well, next week we play the Dolphins... I guess I'll just leave my gloves at home"....  it's just an unnecessary extra variable that is so fundamental for a QB (his ability to just throw) that IMO is a question mark.  

 

 

You gotta have something to separate yourself from the others.  

 

He did say he's learned his lesson, and is going "glove" now.

 

I think he had to throw without the glove during his pro day. That was a question (due to his hand size), whether he can throw without it. If he threw with the glove, then everyone would be asking "why didn't he throw without the glove?" At least, that way it was answered definitely.

 

Glove or no glove? Glove.

 

And as Norv Turner said, plenty of quarterbacks throw with the glove on. If you can throw darts and accurately with the glove and you feel comfortable throwing with the glove, more power to you.

 

Until the time the NFL outlaws wearing gloves...then it should be a non-issue.
