The Josh Gordon Thread: Pats Officially Acquire Gordon for Fifth-Round Pick

[RobertWeathers]

Is he one legarette blount away from like a year or two outta the league? Sounds like Browns don't want to send him here, maybe a third is a bit much, but I'll pay a premium to make it happen. Does anyone know if he's known as a highish IQ player? He seems like a good route runner when I've seen him play.

He puffs on a fatty one more time hes working at Red Robin.

This might be like the mingo trade where every analyst will say BB will make him a star .What will actually happen is a lottery.

Difference is Gordon has actually had success and has dominated in this league before. He just needs to stay out of trouble and learn the playbook. Two question marks but the talent is definitely there.

 

[BadMoFo]

Will be interesting what we trade for him. Too bad they couldn't give us back Jamie Collins.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

I can’t imagine what this board is going to be like if we land Dez too

 

[Tuck]

Anyone else feel like this is Jamie Collins in reverse?

 

[BadMoFo]

Kinda sucks for Kenny Britt.

On one hand, you look at the report and you immediately want to fist bump your closest bro.

On the other hand, you look at the report and remind yourself that it’s not official. It could be a tactic being used by CLE to drive the value up.

You quickly run out of hands and move on to your left foot. You imagine the possibilities with TFB giving him the ball. You get wicked stocked alllll over again!

Then you immediately hop to the other foot and remind yourself that the guy is a ****ing head case and is one small mistake from being banned from the game for life!!

Out of hands, out of feet, and your lunch break nearly over, you just shrug off the roller coaster of emotions and go back to work hoping for the best.

What ever that may be.

Chargers' Casey Hayward ranks Josh Gordon as his toughest matchup along with OBJ; Hue Jackson say he's as physically-gifted as anyone

For the people that think Gordon wouldn’t be elite and with the GOAT throwing him the ball.

Dude's a poor mans Megatron: Talib couldn't Guard him one on one.

ffs

 

[Froob]

ffs

Gordon, Dez, AND Moss?

 

[Deus Irae]

My guard is up and my expectations aren't high even if we get him (closer to Michael Floyd than Randy Moss, given the lack of an offseason/preseason with us), but goddamn it's just exceptionally rare to have a shot at this kind of talent.

It's a trade that's all about potential problems, and comes with a very high likelihood of failure.

And I'm absolutely fine with that. If he craps out, it will still have been worth the try, IMO.

YES. Thank you Bill. Laughing at the people who said it would never happen.

[PatsFan2]

Make it happen.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

Gordon can make contested catches. With Edelman out Gronk was the only player on the team that could come down with the ball even when they are covered.

If we see the Jags again and they try to defend the Pats o in the same way they did on Sunday Brady is going to throw for 400+.

The Legislature might want to delay the opening of Weed dispensaries until after football season.

 

[Double TE]

Kinds sucks for the Jets. Can they get Vontae Davis too. He quit but thats because the Bills suck the life out of you.

 

[PatsFan2]

I rest my case no knock on Talib though.

 

[Todd Bradley]

But, but, but...everyone on here said Bill would NEVER want this guy!!!!!

 

[SHOWTIME15]

If the offensive line can give Brady any protection, this could be better than the 2007 offense.
