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

[Clonamery]

No not the Pats but we can go thru our years of Gordon convos.

AJ is Pats Fan to the nth degree, his concerns on Gordon are real and valid. He let them be known but he wants him to succeed (here) knowing the pitfalls that come with an addict.

 

[RobertWeathers]

Because he’s Andy johnson and has to disagree with everyone to show how much smarter he is than everyone at football. You should know this by now...

Nah.

Andy has a passion for debate. As long as you understand that, he's pretty fun to chat with.

I don’t think it’s been years. I don’t know why doubting a guy who has missed 44 of his teams last 50 games is a shocking thing.

Yep. Andy's points on Josh are valid as are the concerns if he fails in Nov-Jan, there is a lost opportunity cost with another less talented but more stable WR to get up to speed.

Bill is rolling the dice and thinks he has enough to win the SB with JE, Hogs, Dorsett, Patterson, White, Gronk and Hollister or shadow roster WR du jour catching balls.

I've been banging on the gordon door for at least 3 years on this board maybe on my old screen name I lost email access to.
But Ive been talking about Gordon since his first suspension.
It was a pipe dream but the talent is undeniable. And we can't draft a wide receiver for some reason.

I never said he wasnt a Pats fan I certainly understand that but at Gordons price tag If it doesn't work out what are you losing?
We didn't lose some very good receiver to take the risk on greatness.
We replace a Jag with a Jag if need be.

As I have been saying all the talent in the world doesn’t matter if you can’t be on the field. Barely playing for 4 years concerns me to be wise football isn’t like riding a bike.
But I am being optimistic so I hope he dominates.

Look- I have been pushing for this team to make a play for Josh for 2 years. I think hes THAT GOOD and and its worth the opportunity cost of bringing a JAG up to speed as a WR4/5 as the team will already have JE, Dorsett, Hogs, White and Gronk catching balls. Its a fragile plan but a plan nonetheless. Either way if JE or Gronk go down its over They dont have the kind of depth as they did in 2016 to recover.

I feel like Dr Phil today....

I think playing football is kind of like riding a bike. He played a few games last year and had a training camp this year. The only thing is this new bike is one he's never ridden. It's more like a unicycle. He'll get used to it. He has the talent. Not sure how smart he is. Hope he's a natural. He can always be used on go routes to start off. That's kind of like riding a bike.
I wish him the best. He'll take pressure off Gronk (and JE11 when he returns) for sure. You can't just not worry about him if you're the other team. I am looking forward to see what this offense is going to look like mid-season if Josh stays on the straight and narrow.

I completely disagree. Football is more about teachnique and repetition than raw skill. Sure raw skill helps overcome weaknesses but not playing football is the best way to have your football skills atrophy.

...not playing football is the best way to have your football skills atrophy.

It's right up there with playing football with horrendous coaching

 

[PP2]

I think he had a lot of support in Cleveland.
This idea that’s it’s Cleveland so no one gave a crap about him is not backed up by anything.

You think, or you know? Big difference.

Do you have any proof?

 

[maineman209]

Perhaps we should all slow our roll, here.

I think BB is playing this close to the cuff to motivate Josh.
They already have him on the roster And released Coleman for him.
This is BB not allowing the media to get their paws into Gordon because the Boston media could break this kid.
He knows it.
BB is stonewalling the distractions as much as he can.

 

[Ring 6]

I think and I base that on standing by him while he missed 2 full seasons and 2/3 of others and bailed on the team twice.

You are the one who said you “guarantee” he didn’t so your proof or lack thereof would be the “big difference”.
