gonzo1105 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Well its a change of scenery for Ridley, and its a QB upgrade but its not much to go from Mariota or Ridder level QB play next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiotAct Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 hope they didn’t give up too much. Wait, on second thought - yes I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I still can't believe this guy got suspended a year for placing a $500 parlay while away from the team. Wild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Honestly, a good move depending on the price. Mostly likely bought really low on a good player. Ridley was really good until his $10 parlay. That receiving core is pretty solid on paper. Lawrence needs all the help he can get but he’s not been that generational talent everyone said he was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's allowed to request re-instatement after this season is over. If I were to bet on it (hahaha) he'd be ready to go week 1 next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gets me is the length and PED (directly impacting on field play) get a lesser suspension. I get a gambling hard line, but this is not a Pete Rose or anything near it situation. 1/2 year seems sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Before being suspended by the league, Ridley had pretty much given up football for mental health issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still worth the risk for Jacksonville. I think they gave up a 6th if he doesn't play again? Teams cut 6th rounders all the time. If he hits, its a great deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that was his excuse. The "mental health" could be gambling addiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I think betting on your own team should not only be allowed but encouraged! it’s also hilarious that we hold athletes to higher standards than regular citizens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, at the very least, a perception thing and invites too many potential problems to allow athletes to bet on a sport they are participating in. We hold people in certain professions to higher standards than the average person all the time. There are also professions where employees understand they can't engage in certain behaviors that average people do and they accept it as a condition of being employed in that profession. They are free to choose a different profession. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also make an argument that star athletes often get away with behaviors that the average person wouldn't. But more to your point, I agree we certainly lack a consistency in the standards we hold people to in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to get too deep but it does bother me how divided we get about race, religion, etc. basically, there’s rich people and others. I remember a lawyer in Buffalo killed a girl after having a few drinks and got a slap on the wrist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
