If under inflated balls are such a great advantage why does Aaron Rodgers like them over inflated? Andrew Luck likes them on the high side of legal. If it was really an advantage everybody would be gaming the system in the same way. They don’t, so clearly it isn’t. All the evidence out there is that it’s one of those preferences without a difference.

Just guessing -- because he has big hands so it doesn't effect his grip and over inflating makes the ball harder and, thus, more difficult to intercept.

Have you ever played football? Or in the NFL/

You're know-nothing windbag whose opinion contradicts players that have played the game.

A ball at an inflation of 8 PSI (like a basketball) has an advantage in certain actions over a 13 PSI ball. It also has disadvantages, like not flying as far, or as stably. Of course they weren’t talking about 8 PSI balls ( or slightly sub-8 like was used in the famous Ice Bowl game).
