    I don’t want to be Debbie Downer but this is basically worst case scenario.



    This year was always about finding out if Richardson was the guy or not and giving him those reps he desperately needed. Record didn’t really matter this year. Now we won’t “really” know if he’s the franchise guy moving forward. He won’t get all those valuable rookie snaps. Minshew will win enough games to have us as a fringe playoff team, which means we also won’t get a high draft pick.

    Injuries suck. They just suck.

    According to https://www.shoulderdoc.co.uk/article/1448

    Grade 1: strain and contusions of AC joint; No deformity visible clinically or on x-ray
    Grade 2: localised pain, swelling and deformity; X-rays show one-half separation of the AC joint, ie clavicle displaced cephalad by one-half the depth of the AC joint; Coraco-clavicular distance increased as compared to normal side; Partial tear of Coraco-clavicular ligaments
    Grade 3: complete AC joint separation more than one-half the depth of the AC joint; clavicle under skin; Coraco-clavicular distance significantly increased; complete tear of coraco-clavicular ligaments
    Yeah, that sounds like it's not going to be a rub some dirt on it thing, if it's grade 3.

    Having watched AR through his short college career this is no surprise to me. He has been a high injury risk since high school. I don't see this changing. How can paid NFL scouts not pick up on it is a mystery to me.

    High School

    Richardson, Eatside’s quarterback, injured his right arm/shoulder in the first half and did not return for the second half. After the game, Hall reported that Eastside coach Cedderick Daniels confirmed Richardson is out for the remainder of the season.


    At Florida

    Jamie Erdahl of CBS Sports provided more updates on Anthony Richardson’s hamstring injury just before the kickoff of Florida’s tangle against Alabama in the Swamp.

    Richardson told the CBS crew that his first and worst hamstring strain came in spring football. The limp we saw last week after an 80-yard touchdown run was actually a reinjury of that right hamstring.


    Richardson, the team’s starter, injured his knee while dancing at the team hotel, head coach Dan Mullen told reporters on Monday. The Gators got blown out on Saturday by South Carolina, 40-17.


    Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson is not expected to play in the Gators’ Dec. 23 bowl game against UCF. Richardson reportedly underwent surgery recently on his right knee. He’s dealing with a meniscus injury that originally occurred in high school.



    With Colts

    Game 1. Missed the final minute of Indy's season-opening loss to Jacksonville with a bruised knee

    Game 2. Left game. concussion

    Game 3. Out with concussion

    Game 4. Injured his right shoulder after being tackled on a 4-yard designed run at the 4:26 mark of the second

    I had a whole post written up about quarterbacks and injury labels and all that. It’s just not worth it.

    Believe what you want to believe. It’s all good. It’s just entertainment at the end of the day.

    The real tell will be how the Colts handle his roster spot. If he's IR'd with designation to return (what is it, 4 games? 6?) then his shoulder is likely thrashed. If he's not IR'd, maybe the team is hoping he's back in 3 weeks?? His throwing shoulder to boot. Ugh! There was a caller on local 93.5fm today that referenced Steve Emtman (sp?) and how this looks like it could play out similar.

    Bryce Young had one last year if I recall, but his must have been a lower grade one as he came back pretty quickly with lots of treatment.

    Luckily we’ve seen qb’s come back from this exact injury with no long term effects. Get him healthy and go from there.

    “The full details have now trickled in. Here they are, per a source with knowledge of the terms.”

    1. Signing bonus: $10.248 million.

    2. 2023 base salary: $784,556, fully guaranteed.

    3. 2024 base salary: $7.804 million, fully guaranteed.

    4. 2024 per-game roster bonus: $510,000, fully guaranteed as of the third day after contract execution.

    5. 2025 base salary: $11.98 million, $7.152 million of which is guaranteed for injury at signing. The $7.152 million becomes fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2024 league year.

    6. 2025 per-game roster bonus: $1.02 million total.

    7. 2026 base salary: $11.98 million.

    8. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $1.02 million total.

    Taylor was due to make $3.347 million over the balance of 2023. The deal has a new-money value of $14 million per year. From signing, it’s worth $11.336 million per year, with total cash of $45.347 million.

    The signing bonus will be paid in two chunks, with $2.562 million paid on October 20, 2023, and the remaining $7.686 million paid on March 29, 2024.

    It makes him the No. 2 running back in pay, behind 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. It remains to be seen whether this contract breathes new life into the running back market.

    Hopefully they start playing him more than just a handful of snaps. Although with Moss... :dunno: I think JT needs to prove himself. He's got some competition for sure.

    An interesting point…


    It was a smart manipulation of the rules by Peters, a desperation move that worked. Even if it also was a blatant violation.

    And while it rarely happens that the last man with a clear shot at the ball carrier uses a horse-collar tackle to prevent him from scoring, it’s a wrinkle that the league should consider when tweaking rules in the offseason. If the technique, which has been prohibited for nearly two decades, is aimed at protecting players against lower-body injuries, an argument could be made in situations like this to grant the offense the touchdown.

    The rulebook already contains language that allows a touchdown to be awarded, in the event of a “palpably unfair act.” Although the rulebook does not define the term, it contains one specific example as it relates to a scoring play. If a defender blocks a field goal attempt as it otherwise is passing through the uprights (a maneuver that was once legal), three points are to be awarded.

    Beyond that, what is a palpably unfair act? Could it be argued that using a blatantly unsafe tackling technique to bring down a player who otherwise would score a touchdown should be regarded as “palpably unfair”?

    “Palpably” is simply a melodramatic synonym for “noticeably or clearly.” What Peters did was noticeably and clearly a violation of the rules. Does that make it “unfair”?

    It’s likely an issue the league has never had to consider. Perhaps it should.

    And it’s not the same as interfering with a wide-open receiver who would otherwise catch a touchdown pass. Here, the defender used a maneuver that the powers-that-be want out of the game, because it is proven to cause injury.

    So here’s the question. If a player uses a horse-collar tackle to bring down a ball-carrier who otherwise would score, is it a “palpably unfair act” that permits the touchdown to be given to the offense?

    Not that I'm any kind of contract/cap prognosticator or anything - because I certainly am not - but I always thought, and think I even said, that something in the $10-12MM/yr range was where I thought he would land.
