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

Count me as one. Still can't believe he'd risk anything of value. Like buying a lottery ticket.

O ye, of little faith' Chris of all persons.

The young man possesses Cat like quickness

Like I said before in the other thread....and got two "disagree" votes:

Conditional 4th IF he plays 14 games.
Conditional 5th IF he plays 10 games.
Conditional 6th IF he plays 5 games.
7th rounder at worst.

I don't mind burning a 4th for 14 games of Gordon taking the top off the D...then we let him go into FA....no way do we sign him to a big deal with him being on his last chance.

Well, I mean, I see Edelman (hopefully back up to speed) and three #2/3's when I look at the Pats WR corps. What do you see? What do you think BB or Josh see?

Gordon is a Hail Mary. Sometimes it's worth throwing them. To me, the Pats are down at the half and in a place too far for Gost to kick 3, bot not too far for Brady to reach the end zone. Throw it!

I see a team without any consistent ability to threaten the deep hash or deep middle. That allows CBs to play single man coverage on our WRs which cant beat man coverage consistently. That allows the D to roll a safety on Gronk and play 6 in the box.

Because Tom is Tom they'll still put up points but it won't be consistent vs really good defenses. Like JAX

Don't forget the Speedy Coleman in the wings.

His routes are shallow. Hes an unproven deep threat. Doing well though.

Gordon and Dez is going to happen and will make this board’s collective head explode.

lol........because crappy route runners who show up during the season will sure as hell get brady's attention

IllegalContact said:

I have lived through all of it.......I was also here for when the pats used to get good value out of players and the players only left when there wasn't much left in the tank......we are now walking away from guys like chandler jones and brandin cook.......and guess what we suck at......pass rush and WR and are left to dig through the trash of crappy teams

Theyve been letting players walk since the day Bill got here.

My goodness. That group is nasty. Gordon as the third option... Dorsett/Hogan as the fifth!

Coleman has Talent young player we can develop trust the process.

They are clearly trying to get a better offer with the leak.

Exactly what I see, which means Gronk will get bumped grabbed and doubled all day long and the D can ramp up a pass rush on Brady with impunity.

Just a reminder, and to make it clear that I get that this is a risk move

When asked by GQ how many times during his NFL career he drank or smoked weed before a game, Gordon gave an honest answer.


"Every game," Gordon said. "Probably every game of my career."

The receiver admits that he's basically been a functioning alcoholic his entire life.

Josh Gordon admits he would get drunk or do drugs before every Browns game

I'm gonna go buy Madden now and **** on these *****es online.
