Four players on one team...

 

The NFL, and really all sports organizations, are big hypocrites.  All day they drown us with the "betting odds" from games to who will go 1st overall.  Yet when their players are caught BETTING, they are like, "Oh, how dare they!!!  Throw them in the stockade!!!!!!"  This is nothing but chickens coming home to roost for allowing the nation to legalize sports gambling.

I'd say that discussion is...ongoing.

Yes, but we as regular folk can't throw games to help with a bet. Players technically can ... thus why betting is banned. Pretty simple concept.

Its all semantics.  The players' family would be regular folk.  Literally anyone they know could place a bet, and try to get in their ear to make things happen.  All I'm saying is, if you are that phobic towards your players betting on anything (even if it's outside football), why in the world are you promoting it everywhere?  They go out of their way to promote that stuff.  Are the players dumb for gambling?  Yes.  Is the NFL hypocritical?  Yes.  If we are going to condemn the players, also condemn the league who promotes gambling.

    • Svechnikov and I'm voting cause I'm pissed. 
    • He had games where he was a top 10 QB that week, vs Saints, Falcons, Eagles, Chiefs, Bucs.  Amazing performances that I think show what he can do consistently.  He must play with confidence to overcome physical limitations where someone like Cam can struggle all game and then win the game at the end by running someone over. Bryce won’t be that and I am fine with it, it’s time for us to move on to the new era. It’s been 5 long years.
    • We both know there's more that goes into batted passes than just the height of the QB. Most people here have readily acknowledged this and there were numerous discussions about it before we drafted Young. But if you are presenting a POV that Bryce's height hasn't tied to issues with his footwork then there's nothing anyone is going to be able to say to sway you and you know this. Even beyond the footwork I recall a redzone play where Bryce couldn't see around his right tackle at all where a receiver was waiting practically alone in the end zone for a touchdown. There are real world circumstances that are going to show up over the course of the upcoming season and it's up to Bryce and Dave Canales to make adjustments and do anything they can to mitigate negative instances and yes that begins with Bryce's footwork again. Thanks for your time. Have a nice weekend.
