malibuspeedrace Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Wonder what the XFL's rules are regarding Josh Gordon's preferred drug of choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemushrooms Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 He was having a tough time with injuries early on in the season. Everyone jumping on substance abuse but I'm willing to bet he took some stuff like EPO to speed up/accelerate recovery or help compensate. And probably marijuana. Not an excuse but my money is on nothing "malicious" here (aka hard drugs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he gets the help he needs. I don’t see how this is possible. Multiple rich organizations gave him all they could and it did nothing. How do I know they gave him all they could? Because a non-addicted, non-suspended Josh Gordon would make those organizations a LOT of money. And this guy could give a damn. Addiction is sad, but this guy is a loser.

And this wasn't just any "NFL organizations" - it was arguably two of the best places he could have POSSIBLY ended up, and he failed in both of them. There's nothing left for him in the NFL. Nobody there can help him, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Shocker. Why was Justin Blackmon banned and Josh Gordon is on opportunity 3,000? Gordon doesn't deserve another chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animaltested Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 This sucks. The policy is stupid and outdated. Also, this failed test probably happened while he was still with the Patriots (hence the release for "work ethic"). Dude has been a model pro since he came to Seattle, earned the chance to play, and earned the admiration of his fellow teammates. Sounds like Pete and Russell genuinely cares about the dude. I hope Seattle doesn't abandon him because of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's catching 1 ball a game He isn't that good anymore and not worth the roster spot/trouble If you want 1 catch per game, go sign Dez Bryant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’d he ever do for them other than underperform and betray their trust? Edited December 16, 2019 by DaveDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his catches were key 3rd down receptions. On the field Russell had a lot of trust in Josh, its showed. He was a big upgrade on Jarron Brown. Malik Turner and David Moore.
