How long does it take Gordon to learn the playbook and the system? I'm betting 5 weeks. 

The Pats will put him on the field initially just to run a lot of simple routes that don't require him to have timing with Brady. But he's one of those guys who, just by virtue of being on the field, will open up the offense. Edelman and Gronk will benefit a lot from his presence.

Yeah but those simple routes will be sloppy as hell, specially if the play isn’t designed for him

I mean, a go route is a go route. He'll attract attention from a decent CB and a S at times, and that could open the field up elsewhere.

Plus, Cordarrelle Patterson has gotten a bunch of touches for the Patriots in the first couple weeks. I'm betting Gordon can pick it up just as fast, if not faster, as long as he's not high.

If he becomes a problem, I doubt the Patriots will think twice about cutting him. They'd lose a couple rounds of value in the draft pick they'd get back, risk-reward, blah blah

I think they'll be willing to tolerate that kind of thing if he makes the occasional big catch. Hell, they let Moss freelance a lot of the time.
