If he is successful with the Patriots, the draft pick is highly unlikely to mean much in comparison to what they had and lost. Also it reflects poorly for them if Gordon can finally have a productive career away from the franchise. Yeah, because no athlete from any sport went from struggling with their priorities and potentially washing out of a league to going to / being traded to another team and turning it around due to a different environment. We (Browns fans) get it, our franchise hasn't exactly been a model of great FO, but the whole Gordon situation gets blown out like the Browns just gave up on him after his first or second or third strike....no, the Browns coddled Gordon because he has ridiculous talent, but chose not to cultivate it. Dude was selling drugs in college, playing high/drunk and thought he would be dead way before he got to the NFL, let's also not forget his baby mama drama and not paying child support. After all his suspensions and issues, the Browns not only kept him, they supported him in anyway possible and Gordon still chose to not return the love. I hope Gordon finally turns a new leaf, but it's ridiculous how many people keep criticizing the Browns for moving on from a player that obviously was not committed to the Browns. Gordon needs structure and that's what NE has; if anything, it almost seems like the FO wanted to also help Gordon and not just help NE, who has been a trade partner for the Browns for the past couple seasons now.

I'm not saying that to say the Browns were the problem. I'm saying that optically it looks bad and the media will treat it in a bad light and it could create a bad narrative that hurts the Browns.

Shades of Moss on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Typical TNF game. Sloppy game on both sides of the ball for both teams. Patriots played an average game. Defense wasn't good, offense was solid but still lots of mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 After watching the highlights the Colts WR's were straight garbage 9 drops all game and Luck still somehow managed to complete 66% of his passes. That's something they have to address eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I think it's still too early for us to take on KC. I think they'll despatch us. If it were week 14 or something, It would be interesting. They'll run all over us, then pass all around our slow backers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
