PoG: "He who keeps punching himself in the face...is a knucklehead"

Mudfly

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....

BaconHound

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?

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!

Trubisky to Gordon all day long, if he's clean play him.

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?

Probably will be expedited by the Commish's office... so should hear something by Christmas...

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

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.

Well, some people take a holier than thou attitude....an intolerant attitude, a fuck you attitude//

....but you better ass believe they would be there asking for forgiveness if some failing should ever strike them.

I was told the expectation is that Josh Gordon will hear by late April/early May on reinstatement application.

Graziano is far from the biggest "scoop whore" on ESPN so I give this some credibility.

If true, then I believe it would be a record, earliest JG reinstatement decision...

It would be nice to know 'before' the draft please.

Even though he ran his last route in 2014 - it looked like a lot of our Rent-A-Wrecks taking snaps in 2016 were waiting for him to get open prior to eating the football...

Now it is reported Browns and JG are parting ways.

Random thoughts from Wundumbson:

1) Poe won the "who can hold their breath the longest" contest for Josh Gordon by at least 18 months. This needed to happen so he has enough time to win the same contest for Leonard Fournette. Whether you agree with him or not - how do you not enjoy the hail out of a guy like Poe? The last time I read one of his mock drafts we had about 5 first round draft picks this year. He's the good kind of sick bastard...

2) Could Gordon, and more specifically Roger Goodfella enjoying the idea of holding barter between Cleveland and NE hostage, be the reason this Jimmy Garappolo trade hasn't been announced yet? Mitch L is getting easier to type as we speak.

3) Let's hope all energies aren't exhausted on trading this pick, that pick and that pick for draft slots we're unprepared to take the right value at. Inexperience and enthusiasm from a new FO can get the train off the tracks just about every single time us little people that have had to gag on it. YES, we've learned from it repeatedly - has Jimmy? You can sink a Titanic if you don't have the right guy steering it so you can certainly sink another canoe on Lake Erie. I've been on wait and see mode since 98-99. Want my trust? This is a perfect opportunity to get it...
