adalius thomas came close in 2009. but that was unexpected since he seemed to buy into the patriot way in the beginning (remember his "humble pie" t-shirts?).one player has never derailed this team the past 20 years without being sent away and its not going to change now.
everyone knows about gordon's issues so he'll be on a short leash. he may not end up being a big difference maker, but i can't see his presence really damaging the team.
