Hard to believe that was 11 years ago

Lol @ bottom left.

. Agreed. The Pats destroyed them the next week.

I applaud bb’s decision to give Gordon a try. The guy is an amazing athlete when not wasted.

He's probably also an amazing athlete when he's wasted. Problem is the NFL frowns on that apparently.

And then seriously struggled against them in the AFCCG at home when Rivers was playing with a torn ACL and LT was sitting out. They were an excellent team.

It don't gotta be pretty

Do we know Gordon’s jersey number yet?

That is one of the riskier jersey purchase one could make...

Why are we still referring to it as a "weed addiction" on page 74 when it's been clearly established he's had problems with harder drugs?

Weed..I don't care...but drinking..opiates...selling weed ect. His background is..well yeah

Im pretty sure he is on record as saying that he never played a game before 2017 where he wasn't on drugs/alcohol. So he pretty much put up one of the most impressive seasons for a WR wasted.

Maybe, but it depends how crappy. He is a zone buster, but he can't beat man coverage. Too slow. No idea why they continue to run him on deep routes.

hes not slow

 

[PlainOldEd]

Worth a watch. About 11 months old or so. Mostly information we knew, but it’s worth observing Gordon and how he speaks and thinks. I came away really impressed with how sharp he seems to be. I’m thinking he probably can learn the playbook this year, to be honest. He really does seem rather intelligent.

Awesome video. I was feeling good about this already, this made me feel great!

 

[PatsWSB47]

Replace Hogan with Dorsett please. Hogan's ride is up. Too easy to cover man to man at this point. Must have went to the Hightower school of speed development.

His ride made it to the end zone twice last week.

 

[Ring 6]

Great video

Sounds like a guy that finally accepted his condition, committed himself completely to bettering himself and has a new perspective on life

Was worth the 5th round investment to take a chance on this guy, virtually no risk and has tremendous upside... he was leading the league in yards with terribad QBs throwing him the ball

Will be interesting to see how they try and fit him into the offense... probably just some small packages here and there, keep his routes/etc simple and just use his presence to stretch the defense and hopefully open some things up for other guys... and im sure Brady will take a couple shots a game to him if the coverage calls for it

Unfortunately a year after that he didn’t show up for camp, showed up late for practice, “not acting like himsekf” and wore out the welcome of a team that stood by him for 6 years, through many violations and suspensions.

You didn’t see the updated roster on the website? Josh Gordon #420.

(dad joke of the day)

Josh Gordon appears in a Patriots uniform for the first time in Madden simulation

All I know is that I am looking forward to seeing how the Josh Gordan experiment plays out. As it stands, he comes in with known issues, as well as known skills and all for a low price. If he works out well, then we win. If he doesn't then he loses out.

But it does make other team's DC's have to pull out more tape and deal with another New England plot twist.

Just listened to the Bedard spot on Felger and Mazz online. I live in MN and used to stream WEEI's Dale and Holley show, so while I know what an idiot Felger is, I'm not exposed very often to him.

My goodness. How do those of you who do this, do this? Good gracious they're morons. Absolute idiots. Bedard is normally a good analyst but seems to be on absolute tilt during this interview, especially the early parts.

Bedard has fallen off the wagon. I used to enjoy his weekly segment on Felger and Mazz but now he is getting worse and worse. They act like they are know it alls and state personal feelings as fact.

For instance, I heard Mazz today, in reference to the revolving door of wideouts, say “I know Brady must be pissed”. Really? How do you know that? Problem is people listen to that and accept it as fact.

This seems like a good time to remind people that the ignore button can be quite beneficial for your mental health.

It was a clownshow. Bedard considers it a grave offense that the team has acquired 3 receivers via trade, when the most any other team has is one. Who cares?

So, all this Hogan sucks (he doesn’t btw) convos are awesome and all, but how about we put odds on if Gordon makes it to practice tomorrow or not.
