  • 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...

    I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride

  • 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.

    😉 - cheers.

  • 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?

  • Far as I'm concerned this guy owes us. Don't let him go anywhere. To much of my time rooting for him to let him off the hook. Its time to pay up. Best receiver in the league so hope he acts like it
