Never said he wasn’t any good, I talk about how ‘13 was a fluke and that those things happen. He was rusty and had Manziel as a rookie (looked pretty bad) in some of those games. He was still by far the best threat we had at the time and would be if he started this Sunday. If Gordon isn't performing he will look lazy. He looks lazy when he blows past a CB scoring a TD. He never looks like he is giving effort even in his 2013 season. He just glides along because he is some sort of a freak of nature. Or he is affected less by gravity because he is higher than most of us. Who knows. He shouldn't be that smooth at his size though. He may be an alien.

Hoyer seems to allow his return impact how he played as well, seemed to try to force the ball to him instead of just spreading it around as he had all year. IF Gordon gets reinstated, and IF he's motivated and has the right mindset, this FO would be crazy not to welcome him back asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to have a Calvin Johnson/Josh Gordon but they can also be a hindrance to a QB if they rely on them too much, it just isn't going to end well. I get it, if you have 1 great threat on the team it makes sense to force feed them in theory, and works great at lower levels just not in the NFL.

buno67 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It was just a little bit of weed... if I was goodell, I would postpone his reinstatement again. Like he said he broke the rules this past summer hence why he went back. Why not make him prove it even longer. Sounds like Gordon assumes if he screws up that rehab will fix it make it go away. Give him props for admitting that but a lot of people already knew/assumed everything he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember posters on here just saying it was weed. Talked about his use of alcohol on many, many occasions, Xanax on many occasions, cocaine several occasions, marijuana most of his life, codeine, cough syrup, and methazine. Talked about how his rehab in ‘13 was a complete joke and only used it as a PR stunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchdigger Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 He also talked about his awareness of how that attitude towards sobriety has led him to ruin, and accepted full responsibility for those decisions. He talked about how his faith, family and talent were the only things he had left and how they were driving him towards redemption. He sounded like a man who took ownership of his past, and took his recovery as though it were the only thing saving his life, not just his career. He acted in a way that proved it, by explaining how he was going to spend his first day out getting to Ohio to start focusing on fatherhood, and would wait to apply for reinstatement until after he came clean about his past with the public by way of releasing this video. He sounded like he was ready to start a new life, and how any relapse would end any chance he had at success. I understand the negative attitudes towards his past actions, but to wish him ill now says more about you than it does about him. Good luck, Josh. Your daughter needs you.

Look to the 2nd half of the Jets game, there were some guys making plays. Higgens has flashed in one game this year. They performed with Hogan. If we had a stud 1 they would be great picking up the pieces in single coverage while the stud got the doubles. Just let Britt and probably Coates be one and done, keep Coleman and hope he can get and stay healthy. I think he would be a beast in the slot. Louis showed me last week that he deserves a spot, to hopefully develop as a reserve. He has #1 potential eventually. Treggs and Higgins could be that solid Joe J. type of chain mover possession WR. Williams could be an end zone jump ball specialist and also fit well as that chain mover possession type of WR. That is 5 guys that I would keep, we really just need that one do it all stud that can take the top off, is big and physical and can win at the line of scrimmage, runs great routes, and is a yards after catch/contact beast to create a very good WR group. All in my opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
