7 years 58 games. 20 TD 4113y 17.1y/R
Hasnt been clean a year since ~2005
Xanax, marijuana, codeine in middle school
Junior year HS Xanax, hydrocodone, oxycodone at nearly every opportunity
Before games, chug Mad Dog 20-20, to gauge whether he could play drunk.
A timeline of Josh Gordon's history with substance abuse and suspensions | Boston.com
The amount of time the Pats gave him
then the sudden, seemingly unnecessary
shuffle away at point of most need?
Still not clean
The pattern for folks who start early: never will be.
It is just the way it is. A horrible thing for people
Destroys their life
End up under a bridge, crapping on the sidewalk
Spending the day hunting for more, forever
Its just the way it is
I do not believe anyone here hated him ...
Those who disliked him did so as to his production into the future.
Too many were rating him on the past ... that guy appears to be gone for now anyways.
Going to call this post out.
To assert that drug addiction cannot be overcome, or that individuals who have drug addiction cannot learn to live in a functional and happy manner, is patently false. Ask anyone who has recovered from addiction.
Are certain types of addiction extremely hard to overcome? Of course. Is everyone battling addiction fated to the outcome you describe above? Absolutely not.
Someone with addiction could be reading this forum, and if they saw your post they could understandably become despondent and discouraged.
There's always hope and the opportunity to live in a happier and healthier way moving forward, and everyone with addiction needs to hear that.
Where'd you get that from?... rumors were he was released because he was late to meetings and what not
To assert that drug addiction cannot be overcome, or that individuals who have drug addiction cannot learn to live ....
Some fans are in major denial over this guy as he was very ineffective. He was getting worse by the week.
It was worth a shot, it just didn’t work out.
Yes you are right ...this was not handled well at all by BB or Patriots organization
I'm on the same page with you. However I do think N'keal Harry may have shown enough in practice to push JG out.
I wish he could have transitioned to tight end
Really hoping the Jets get him.
Jets get Gordon.
Pats get Folk.
Seems fair.

I keep hearing "lets transition him to TE" about lots of players. Has there ever been a good TE that was transitioned out of some other position?
