Josh Gordon
-
I mean, the season is a quarter of the way over with, so if there's any hope of getting this thing done, it'd have to be done NOW. The only thing I can think of is that the NFL and Gordon could POSSIBLY have an arrangement, in that Josh continues to stay clean AND attends another rehab (which he attended), and if he's met the other conditions, his application will be reviewed with the assumption that he'll be reinstated. Think about it. Why would he attend another rehab stint? He just went earlier this year. There's been zero indication of poor behavior or failure to adhere to rules, other than speculation that he didn't do something right in August (nothing confirmed). And like the article said, there's no timetable for decisions on applications. It could literally take 30 minutes.
Look, the NFL wants to help Gordon. They want a good story showing they are compassionate and they want to help people. The NFL has enough negative press right now, and they know it. If Gordon truly is sober and he truly has done what was asked, then he has a shot. What would be the reason to keep him suspended? To punish? To prove a point? It literally doesn't make sense. Josh has made his bed, we get it, but at some point the punishment doesn't fit the crime. Jesus Christ the man smokes weed for crying loud. Here in Florida you can get a dang prescription for it, and it's far safer than any opioid pain killer.
You wanna talk about a shot in the arm? You want to see a WR who can win one on one match ups? Someone who can get deep or get yards after the catch? Give me Josh Gordon, Myles Garrett, Jamie Collins, and Danny Shelton, and then give me Corey Coleman back and let's see this team.
And switch out Kizer for Hogan and we'll have ourselves a CONTENDER!

Hogan did not get beat out.
It's more like watching a High School football team with the better QB sitting on the bench while the coach's kid stinks it up.
Hue is digging his own grave, game by game. When he finally says uncle and Hogan steps in and we start winning, Hue's not going to be able to say, "I had no idea Hogan could play that well". He is pretty much dead in the water either way... Unless, after Kizer blows this next game Hue finally admits that it's time to win.
I just cannot see what Hue is seeing. I mean what does the guy have against Hogan?
BTW- What is the holdup on Josh Gordon? I don't believe the "report" that says that he hasn't reapplied. Who would have given that information anyway?

While Hogan has looked decent, he has not faced any teams #1's while he's been in. With the Sheet show supporting cast, he would probably fare no better than kizer.
-
Uhm, TD that's not true. Hogan put up the only 10 points that we scored on the Ravens.
Actually Hogan scored ALL of the points that we got in both game 2 and game 4.

So Josh Gordon's released a mini-documentary (on LeBron's Uninterrupted channel) about his substance abuse which coincides with his application for reinstatement. Sucks up to Goodell for a quick decision ( my words not his). Word on the street is that even if he's reinstated he'll still face a 4 game suspension.

Which is dumb.. Dude should be let back in without a suspension..

I hope Gordon has already gone through the only "hitting bottom" experience that he'll have. Not every addict will have only one.. so at this point it's just a hope. But for many, the moment of hitting bottom is required for them to stop the enabling/thinking it's all OK.
If he continues to choose to stay sober, he might have a few years left in the NFL. If not, good riddance.

Alright... here's my prediction and teased conspiracy theory on Josh's return...
Drum roll, please.
Prediction: Josh will be reinstated Week 13
The Theory: A Week 13 return means Josh will only be eligible for 5 games and thus not accrue 2017 towards FA.
I'll admit that I am not the most well versed on all the current CBA's rules regrading FA eligibility, but I believe his one-game, Week 17 suspension by the team was overturned on appeal by the NFLPA. The suspension was a fairly transparent effort to keep his rights for an additional year under the same accrual rule mentioned above.
Anyway... I think Roger owes us one (at least) and I think a delay until Week 13 is payback.

Gordon needs to get a job.

Kizer causes the INT's by his poor accuracy. Yet, the Browns fans fails to understand that. The awful slant he threw against the Colts is a great example of that. Yeah, lets blame effing Britt.

i agree with you about kizer...he stinks...i'm a notre dame fan and he had his ups and downs...never really thought he was that good..but you look at watson vs kizer and the big difference is watson has control....the guy looks like he's been in the league 3 or 4 yrs already...he's amazing. I do have to say this about britt...he also sucks...2 of the worse free agents during this regime were rg3 and britt...and i think coachie coach was the one who got the f.o. to get rg3..thats why i don't like this coach. britt was probably the 2 morons with the analytics who will probably be fired very soon...

The sad thing here is that if Josh Gordon walked into
the locker room today and started in a game tomorrow
he would be our best receiver on the team.

I'm gonna say best player on the team.

Your dreaming. Guy hasn't played in years, and is drug soaked.

I agree. But he'd still be the best player we have. Ya, we're that bad.

With that being said he will have a week to learn the Offense, something he has not had a chance to do. He will be overwhelmed from all the studying and probably flare one up to calm his nerves.

This team has been overwhelmed since the 4th play of the season, a blocked for a TD the other way.
