I know the gambling addiction is getting the side-eye from some people, but it’s a compulsive behavior like any other. We don’t have to look far to find quarterbacks who have had success while or just after dealing with some brutal, hidden addictions: Favre (pills) and Kerry Collins (booze) are pretty clean comparisons. At other positions and other sports, there are less well-documented but serious addictions playing out all over the place: Puka Nacua (booze), Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley (gambling, though not publicly on sports), Allen Iverson (booze) and Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods (booze, drugs, ladies) were all at the absolute top of their sports even at the worst of their using. If Sorsby recovers, he won’t be an outlier. Hell, he won’t even be the first NFL player with gambling violations—Boutte and Calvin Ridley have beaten him to it. Sorsby’s a quarterback, though. That’s going to carry real weight—there will be orgs who don’t see him as fit to lead, and therefore not fit to play QB. I hope we’re not one of those teams. Bryce is entrenched as the starter, vibes are good, and Sorsby can come and quietly focus on his recovery with a head coach who’s been public about his own. He’s talented and while this has been an embarrassing debacle, there’s hope for him. -
We will see some shakeup I’m sure. Staal might retire and they’ll probably make a trade or two. -
