    there isn't any sense in adding him back into the locker room. It goes against everything

    the coaches and fo are trying to build with the right players.

    I think I could draft a small school wr in the 7th round, that would be more productive than Josh Gordon

    while he is on suspension.... lol

    I don't defend his poor decisions. Having said that he is far from a lockeroom issue. I get the mistrust from everyone I really do. Bottom line i stick to is no downside in keeping him and plenty of upside.

    Could have been my post except that enough time has passed that I'd have to have said "potential upside".

    You talkin' Gordon or Manziel? 😛

    That's actually one of your useful smart-ass comments.

    When you contrast the distractions created by Josh and Fuckhead, it's quickly obvious that you have to use log-scaled, graph paper. There is absolutely no way to confuse the two players.

    Personally I would roll the dice. We can't get anything in a trade so why not? The worst that can happen is he fucks up again and we are off the hook.

    The upside? Maybe Jackson can set him straight.

    Seriously? Either one. Both.

    I don't think coach Jackson would pull the trigger on either one but if I were the head coach and sat down with these two guys and thought they were serious about getting things together and it was possible to put together some sort of an incentive laden contract that netted them nothing if they fuck up....

    Of course it's not realistic but sure.

    Especially Gordon who at one time was the best at his position in the NFL.

  • Don't forget...

    He hasn't violated any rules since his 2015 violation. He's still serving the same suspension he served then. Goodell conditionally lifted it, but reinstated it when Gordon chose to go to rehab. There was no new violation,

    Some people like to fabricate a new violation out of thin air.

  • nobody is forgetting. The Browns were ready to roll and have Gordon back. In OCTOBER, before he was

    officially ready to rejoin the Browns...

    we went to rehab instead. IN LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE HE WAS TO JOIN THE BROWNS.

    That is no "violation"....it's just another huge disappointment to the team. After all this, he never said WHY.

    I imagine, if it was just he felt weak in his addition, he could have said so. My guess is, he failed to stay away

    from it, maybe, and went to rehab instead of getting caught again and never getting another NFL paycheck.

    Don't know. there was no "violation" of the NFL drug policy I suppose. But there WAS a violation of his responsibility

    to the Browns. Seriously, after all those months, he finally gets cleared to rejoin the Browns, and less than a week before he

    does.... he goes to REHAB? Come on, man.

    He also found out he was a father shortly before that, so...

  • From what I understand he completed a 45 day in patient rehab voluntarily. He's had had no negative press since then. He's been working out like a gym rat. Call me naive but I do think there's hope for him still.

  • Dawgs, just imagine a line-up of Gordon, Pryor and Coleman... throw in a little Hollywood or some Louis and Payton.

    Then getting Desmond Bryant back along with Nate Orchard. Put Orchard with Nassib, Shelton and Ogbah and let Willy G *Greg Williams* turn em loose! And that even before we draft 2 or 4 really nice STUDS in the draft... plus we've got a lot of money to spend in FA... Things are definitely looking up bro!

  • Some people are so negative that they look for any and every excuse to just complain. They cry about the snow and bitch when it's hot...

    Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

    Gordon has had many setbacks and pitfalls but to be fair he's traveled a rough road. Once you are on the radar it's very difficult under that kind of scrutiny to succeed. Yeah, it's easy to say, "Just put down the weeeeeeed" or whatever but unless you walk in somebody else's shoes your just talking out the side of your neck.

    You people that love to bash him are the same ones who can't resist staring at a traffic accident as you drive by... you delight in other's misery. If you honestly don't think Josh Gordon loses sleep at night because of his fuckups, you really might have a far worse problem than Josh Gordon ever has.

  • Yeah....he's a bit of a knucklehead......also the best receiver Ive ever seen in a Browns Uni......and his transgressions only hurt himself.....

    Would love to see him resurrect his career ....and would love to be the benefactor after all these years of shenanigans...

    Browns have nothing to lose.....but Josh....

  • The main question about Gordon isn't his past or his contract, it's whether or not he can still perform given his missed game time. If he is reinstated the Browns need to evaluate his ability and if he is better than the last WR you'd be keeping, you keep him. Are we worrying about losing Jordan Payton to keep a viable Josh Gordon?

    And I thought Payton was already gone......(thats what happens when you're invisible)....

    and the answer?.....Nope

    Ah come on Mud. He had 1 catch for 3 yrds in 32 snaps and got suspended under the NFL PED Drug policy in Dec. We don't want to scare him off before he gets going! 😉

    Gordon is switching to HB? Only way he can get open fast enough with this OL, but it does resolve the QB sack/injury problem.

    Did you already forget the Average Throw Time stat from a month ago?
