    JP should wear gloves

    I noticed that he uses bare hands on Sunday, both hands. If he wants to learn how to play in Buffalo, he better knows how to throw the ball wearing gloves. I know Flutie used glass cutter gloves for better grips. Big Ben is rare in that he wears one glove. When your fingers are frozen or semi frozen, you don't get the same feel holding on the football.

    As much as anything, I think that's a major advantage of a QB playing in real cold weather: mastering the feel of that frozen rock in your hand.

      You bring up a good point...He should practice with gloves and get use to goves because it does appear it is effecting his throws.

                  Kelly grew up playing football in Western PA. Losman grew up throwing pig skins in LA. Big difference.
