Wouldn’t be surprised if he has surgery.

And here’s the point a lot of people that are trashing Gordon as “lost a step” or “washed up” are missing.....sources said he’s had this knee injury for a “long time....”. It (knee and ankle)really hindered him from the get go....when this guy gets healthy watch out....he will be awesome again....good luck Josh

Bring back Ocho

Bringing AB back with these receivers is going to be awesome.

Some beat reporter mentioned multiple bone bruises in the knee. Explains a lot about his playstyle and what he fought through this year.

Too bad it didnt work out.

My mind is blown. never a dull moment.

That's what the newspapers say. The same ones that say Bob Kraft supports sex trafficking.

Stop.

Brick27 said:

45 catches and 600 is pretty solid as a #3 in this offense. What sort of output do you expect from a #3 WR? He doesn’t need to be Edelman.

Its different now.

W/O an all-world TE and a sputtering running game we need more.

Don’t hold your breath. He won’t be fully healthy this year. No one is trashing him. He’s just been wildly unproductive this season.

and now we know it was injuries (plural) and that they have been plaguing him since preseason....guy is still in prime and some other team is going to get elite monsta when he is 100% healthy....when he is healthy as we all know he is elite and amazing....IF he stays clean ....anyways hopefully doesn’t come back to bite us

He did not look right this year. Something was off. Watch some of his routes, if the ball was not coming to him, he barely sold it. Additionally, I also noticed teams were not double teaming him as much as I thought he will command.
Not sure if it is just age slowing him down or he was dealing with something physical.

Gunner lives!

This doesnt make sense unless Gronk is coming back....

farn said:

I hear you, but I still think you are undervaluing Dorsett. He, as a #3, with Brady and this D : you know it’s enough. Doesn’t mean he’ll light it up every weekend, nor that the SB is a sure thing. I’m more than ok with Dorsett as #3, because of White.

I will never settle for "enough".

I believe there will be a game or two in which the offense will need to step up and make plays b/c the D is having an off-night

Relying on Dorsett to have a big night at that moment is unrealistic.

How do the two correlate?

Now we’ll have to deal with bring back Josh Gordon and bring back AB post in every thread

You forgot Gronk.

Everyone kept waiting for him to be in “game shape” and “wait till him and Brady get on the same page” and it didn’t happen. It became evident pretty quickly he wasn't going to be the same guy he was in 2013 but I thought he would be more than a poor man's Dez Bryant. He wasn't terrible and he wasn't great. He was pretty much a body at receiver and it is sad that his time here is over but it is reasonable to assume the team must be confident Harry can contribute based on this move.

So reports are he’s close to being back to healthy? He practiced today? After being designated to IR he said “ interesting”, he didn’t see this coming.

This is a head scratcher, all this work put into him, I see why Brady’s attitude is “I’m just an Employee here”.

Yes I know it’s a business, but there is something to treating your Employees right.

If he wasn’t close to returning, then I guess I get it.

Harry, time to buckle that chin strap....
