    I havent read all 9 pages but did the Colts know this was coming, which is why we drafted 3 corners, or are these two things completely separate from each other?

    Query said his source is telling him the Colts are learning about this with us, while Rodgers knew he was under investigation since February. Kind of sounds unbelievable to be honest... but who knows? :dunno:

     

    Holder is saying the same:

    I know a few of the Lions had said that.

     

     

    I don't really buy it though, with such stiff consequences, teams are sure to be pumping this info into players. Signs everywhere.

     

    Rules are simple, can't bet on NFL games at all, and can't bet on anything while at the facility.

     

    Not that hard to comprehend that, trying to use ignorance as an excuse won't go very well for these players.

     

    It's hard to plead ignorance, specifically about Rodgers, since he took measures to evade being detected. He knew what he was doing wasn't allowed. That's why he used accounts of other people to place those bets. It's just so freaking stupid. Maybe he does have gambling problem and this is no joke... many people have fallen victims to it and many lives have been ruined by gambling addiction. No idea if he fits in that category or just straight up stupidity... either way... what a shame for ruining his career for what? The thrill of betting 20-50 bucks on games. Wasn't the thrill of playing in those games enough for him? Just... :facepalm:

    If he bet on the Colts to lose IMO he will never play again. 

     

    If he bet on spreads of Colts games IMO he will never play again either.

     

    If he bet on the Colts to win, he might get a chance to play but still I'm not sure.

     

    If he only bet on other games or other  sports he probably will be reinstated at some point(probably next year).

     

    He knew what he was doing. He knew it was against the rules and that's why he used another person's account to place those bets and not his own. He thought he won't get caught. I guess the positive is he's taking responsibility for what he's done, but there will be ton more steps before he convinces the league and an NFL team to give him another shot. 

     

    Such a shame for a talented player to waste his career like that :(

    If it’s anything like Ridley, he’ll be out for the season. 

    Ridley bet on a few games he DIDN'T PLAY IN and he bet on his team to win. According to reports Rodgers made "hundreds of wagers" and some of them were on Colts games. We still don't know if he bet on Colts wins or losses... 

     

    If he bet on the team to lose in games he played in... I don't think he will ever play again.

    Colts select QB Anthony Richardson Florida (merge)

    in Colts Football

    Posted

    I've been watching some Jalen Hurts highlights trying to find snaps from under center, but unless they are doing a sneak or the tush-push, he has practically ZERO snaps from under center. (On a side note - it's amazing how unstoppable those were with Hurts when you consider the defense should instantly know what's going to happen when he lines up under center). BTW Hurts had close to zero of those in college too... 

     

    I think we will probably see something similar with Richardson. I kind of wish he'd expand his game a bit with some under center action, but even in college those were rare for him. 

     

    Now looking at Herbert's rookie highlights... there are some under center snaps... so it seems like Steichen is doing what the QB is most comfortable with. 

     

    Damn, Herbert's arm is special... can't wait to see how Richardson's looks on an NFL field.
