JOSH GORDON REINSTATED

But no player willingly tears an acl. 6 years in a row

Great News! First and Foremost getting his life back on track is priority. He has plenty of support around him. Offense will be a nightmare for any Opposing DCs having to account for him and JE in slot and other WR schemes and throw in RBs running/receiving. All Three Phases are Solid.

Maybe the master plan is put Demaryius on PUP and let him get healthy to step in when Gordon gets suspended.

Wow! What a great idea!

"If the Ghost of Demarius Thomas is our #2 WR, going into this season the Pats are in deep trouble. I'd be happy with him being our 4 or 5 down the stretch after T-giving.
I don't see him as "done" like 203pats does above, in fact he could turn out to be some very important late season depth injection."

Hilarious. My joke is your deep intellectual thought. Lmao

Sure everyone wants to see the underdog... Let's hope he's there at the end but I do dislike him robbing someone's opportunity if he isn't there at the end

I understand that, but I'll say the same thing about Gordon as I said last year: the regular season matters too. He's a very good player that can help us win games, just as he did last season. Our team looks strong this year, but let's not take for granted what it takes to win in the NFL. We're not necessarily better off going into the playoffs as the #4 seed with Berrios or Inman on the roster than as the #1 seed without them and with Gordon suspended.

If he can help us get that #1 seed, he's worth it.

In all seriousness, Gordon, Thomas, Harry and Edelman is almost too many studs for too few balls. Would be nice to have a TE who can really block or a LT. There are question marks there, but if everything goes are way, we have too many riches at WR. And yet, without Edelman, that group is much less imposing.

It's called reality.

Thomas has yet to even put on pads, let alone run a route for Brady.

He ain't starting the season. I look forward to hopefully seeing him injected later on when someone invariably gets hurt, falters or if Gordon has troubles.

Insurance is a beautiful thing.

If Harry pans out and gives the team a big bodied target who can high point it in the red zone, they don’t need to rely on Gordon as much this year as they did last season. That just makes Gordon a bonus and anything they get out of him before the next suspension is essentially the Patriots playing with house money. If the next suspension doesn’t come either right before before or during the playoffs? Even better.

Could not have said it any better.

yeah - but he's no Robby Anderson...

If Gronk comes back this team is super bowl bound.

I understand he has been suspended several times in the past. It’s natural to be skeptical....but today it is ok to let your guard down and let your imagination run free with what this offense could be.

And to Mr. Gordon...

It's BB who is making the decision. Josh has no role. His job is the give 100%. If he didn't we'd be up his butt faster than a colonoscope

Incorrect... Half of it is up to Josh. Bb can wish all this to be successful but if Josh doesn't do his part it ain't going to work

We will see. No one knows where Thomas stands. Moss didn’t practice at all in camp in 2007.

I'm not sure mental illness qualifies as a checkered past. Maybe it does maybe it does not I'm just not sure.

The problem is do many are infatuated with Gordon for his 1600 yard season. That was so many yrs ago. We act like he still has elite speed. Last yr the excuse was the hammy. I hope I'm wrong. People want him to be Randy Moss and he's more like Brandon Lafell at this point.
