Not trying to be a hater, but to me this is like juggling a soccerball; you are practicing a skill that has fuck-all to do with your actual job on the field.
You go out and try to catch balls one-handed during a game and you'll be on the bench, so what are we doing here?

The best way to be sure you'll never be able to make that catch when you need to catch it one handed with a weird angle is by never doing it. If Gee is still catching with his body, I'm with you 100%, but assuming he's using his hands to catch, why not grow your skillset?
It’s amazing and kind of dumb that Otton doesn’t wear gloves. Old school, but why not have a much easier time catching the ball, especially for tough catches.
Maybe the sticky gloves make it harder to get away with holding whilst blocking? I dunno. As a gay white man myself, I can confirm that we are weird sometimes.
It’s funny you guys mention the gloves because I grew up playing without gloves and only recently was in a sporting goods store and saw some football receiver gloves so tried them on and holy shit they are way easier to catch with than even stick um was. They are literally a huge cheat that is somehow legal

Pro w/r considered one of the best - check Big, black dude that can probably palm a basketball - check (just bein' real) ......
I used to run routes with my bro as teenagers and practice catching with one hand and casually got decent at it. You get that feel and with increased practice it becomes more natural.
Look at any pro level soccer player and they can do crazy control stuff with the ball that you don't normally see ... and then it gets translated onto the pitch with pro level defenders draped all over them. That's the real test.

Respek for soccer skills recognition and comparison
While we did have a few more of our trademark drops today, I didn't see any from #MyMagicFeather. I thought he made an NFL quality catch in tight, physical coverage on a short slant, in addition to the TD. Do you not like Puka?
