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

[Hyped]

Been out of the dating game for decades...don't even know how peeps do it these days. Back in the day, I actually followed @Elijah 's method....I basically gave up and just sat at home after a series of bad dates. Turns out...the future Mrs. Hyped had some trouble with two guys asking her out to a dance....and she remembered me being funny as hell so she asked me out...and the rest is history. She is an engineer....and fell in love with the Pats especially after Deflategate all because of air pressure B.S......

It is official. Gordon has chosen his number. Oh and if you buy a large from Dunkin, you get potentially get a 25% off coupon to fanatics.

Is it Patriots policy that guys with initials JG must wear #10? Good thing Flesh Gordon was traded, making room for Flash.

Chris

Why are people contrasting Dez Bryant and Chris Hogan? They couldn't be more different players.

Dez Bryant cannot run precise routes, is known for freelancing, is not intelligent, is a huge distraction (required a team of Cowboys staffers to make ensure he wasn't acting like an immature dink) and would be a bad fit for this offense and team, and that's even before his game regressed. When he had elite athleticism, perhaps it would have been worth it but even then there are big question marks and he cost $14M at the time.

Hogan is a great complimentary receiver. He lacks elite skills to separate from a top cornerback or double team, but he is reliable, runs great routes, can read a defense, and will make a defense pay for doubling other players. What more do you want from a guy with his contract and expectations?

Now that Bryant's actual skills and speed are no longer that different from Hogan's, why would anyone want to swap the two? Hogan is still at his physical peak while Bryant gets worse every day. Bryant is also looking for way more money.

Both teams announce the trade. The league online shop has his #10 jersey on sale. The team has him on their website and online depth chart. BB rambles about it not being completed... he is a beast.

I think playing football is kind of like riding a bike. He played a few games last year and had a training camp this year. The only thing is this new bike is one he's never ridden. It's more like a unicycle. He'll get used to it. He has the talent. Not sure how smart he is. Hope he's a natural. He can always be used on go routes to start off. That's kind of like riding a bike.
I wish him the best. He'll take pressure off Gronk (and JE11 when he returns) for sure. You can't just not worry about him if you're the other team. I am looking forward to see what this offense is going to look like mid-season if Josh stays on the straight and narrow.

Nope, no training camp this year. He was absent for the entire camp.

Wow! that #10 have been good to us.

So happy he stayed away form that cursed#17 he would probably relapse in it.

Fantasy sites already switched him over to the Pats. That's the ultimate authority.

I mean we broke the #14 curse with Cooks

I dated a woman who hated football.

I usually only watched 1 game each week which was the Pats. She got clever and figured out the Pats schedule and would plan stuff she wanted us to do at those specific times. Obviously, I refused to go because I knew from the outset that this was deliberate and no coincidence.

Arguments ensued until I had enough of her crap.

I've already had enough of her crap.

Name me some #14's other than Cooks.

It pays to be prudent. Note that Joey Galloway and Jonas Gray did NOT wear #10, leading to their doom.

Didn't Jonas Gray get that SI cover after that Game against the Colts?? Then he ended up in BB's Dog house after coming to practice late.

Just because they are in the same picture doesn’t mean the deal is final.

Here's how it will go down (in my little world)

Week 3 - Gordon shows up early every day, and pushes himself in practice / film room / playbook studies. He has a solid game on Sunday.

Week 4 - He does it again. Tom Brady, the man that he is, brings this proposal - "Josh, #12 is yours if you show up like this every week, keep it clean, and have no off field issues or violations. We make the playoffs, and you'll be wearing #12."

Gordon, amazed and awed at the offer, winds up being the NFL's YPC and TD leader. He stays clean, and has a strong showing in the playoffs. BB signs him to a solid 3 year contract, and trades him for a first on draft day.
