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

[TommyD4207]

Not saying he’s a hall of famer but 1,600yds 9td with Campbell is your qb is legit

He has top 5 WR talent

Had.

 

[TommyD4207]

They will target a offensive guy like Deflippo.
Josh isn't going anywhere but that is his home so who knows.

McDaniels and his family have lived here for 15 years. This is his home.

Last week...



Skill: ✔

That was his only catch of the game.

Had? The guy’s not dez Bryant. He hasn’t lost a step.

Haha it’s funny people want Dez

Yes, in a game where the Steelers only half-decent CB (Haden) got hurt and left the game, Gordon could only manage to be open enough for 1 'catchable' target.

So you’re going by the one game? Really? He has a terrible QB to boot.

He's played 11 games in 4 seasons. There's not much more of a sample size to draw from.

 

[JetFan79]

Gronk and Gordon in the redzone just wouldn't be fair.

 

[dafoe2016]

Drugs are far more important to him than football. I have zero interest in seeing him come here. There is almost no chance it would work long term. And I certainly would not want to give up a pick for him.

 

[Gronkowski123]

sign this beast!!! throw in dez as well!!!

 

[Wheelman]

In case people say that was ages ago this is Gordon last year vs Hayward a pro bowl CB and PFF rated 1 at corner



Would’ve had 100+ yds and a TD with a back qb instead of Kazier


Former fantasy stud Josh Gordon on road to regain stardom

This is Randy Moss all over again

You lost me at PFF.

Are you confident in Tyrod Taylor's judgement and ability as a quarterback?

Nope. But he threw the ball 40 times against a crap secondary, and Gordon got one target, and even that was a bailout 50/50 ball. He didn't exactly separate on the play.

You're nitpicking that he didn't get separation on a fade to the pylon? Yikes.

It's clear that his talent is still there. I couldn't care less about a week 1 stat line with Tyrod Taylor and the Cleveland Browns. I care about how Gordon might look with Brady/McDaniels and a team that will actually compete for something; a potential motivator.

 

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

He didn’t even have any separation on the play. It was an unxtremely lucky pass that probably should have been intercepted or at least broken up, but the defender mistimed his jump.

He isn’t completely broken down into the ground, but I’d hardly call that one catch, where he was covered like a blanket, as evidence that he’s still close to the same player.

No, you're imagining what 2013 Josh Gordon would look like in this offense.

That was 5 years ago.

Also, it was a 20 yard 'fade' route, not a 3-yard one. He had plenty of time for separation and the scrub CB who was lost off the line, had PLENTY of time to catch up to him.

Would be most shocking personell move of BBs entire tenure to bring someone in who might very well be the most unreliable player of this decade. He keeps living off a great season he had five years ago and missed over 50 games since then.

But as usual you have people salivating for what he was in 2013 while they are are calling out players like Cannon for missing games.
