Josh Gordon
-
Mucking around- I found most of Gordon's interview with GQ- it's an interesting read. https://www.gq.com/story/josh-gordon-nfl-2017-interview?mbid=social_twitter
If someone offered the Browns a first round pick for Josh Gordon a GM would be certifiably insane NOT to take it.
So we can take another Corey Coleman with the pick?
Ghoolie is still POed we gifted Julio Jones to Atlanta. MHO? A clean Gordon returning to his 1,600 yard form is at least on Julio's level.

I would like the chances someone of value would be taken with that hypothetical 1st rounder better than Josh Gordon staying clean and remaining on the field for an extended time.

Well, judging from the 14 pages of this thread, it makes a huge difference to many people on this board. I think it is worth pointing out that when he had his one big season the Browns won a grand total of 4 games. Personally, I don't think he will make much of a difference for the Browns on the field for the simple reason that we don't have a quarterback who can get him the ball. And no, I don't have any confidence that he's going to get through the offseason without fukking up.
Yea, but who did we have throwing to him when he was setting NFL records for receiving? Hoyer and Weeden maybe?
Were Hoyer and Weeden much, if any, of an upgrade from what we have now?

Jason Campbell...played pretty well for us.

Unfortunately yes...They're sadly a HUGE UPGRADE. Mainly because they both threw a couple of routes very well, and these were routes Josh excelled at. Deep outs, crossers, slants, deep ball....Weeden and Campbell both did these well. Kizer doesn't do anything well.

Whenever Kizer plays - the QB position looks like a kid in blind folds playing pin the tail on the donkey. YES, he has a bionic arm but he has the instincts of a raccoon crossing the road at night time. He doesn't give me any foreshadow of the ability to throw people open when he has to read progressions unless it's a specified timing pattern to one of the deep thirds off a 5-7 step drop or waggle pass/bootleg action. And when the field shrinks up to red zone congestion - his lack of accuracy and poise gets heightened as exemplified by his league-leading turnovers.
Who knows how Josh Gordon will respond - but he is being given1 more opportunity. Apparently, his extent of drug abuse involved a lot more dangerous drugs than the gateway drug marijuana. That dude was a train wreck blinded by any lights at the end of the tunnel. As often as Roger Goodfella gets it wrong, this is 1 thing I think he did right. I've expressed my frustration repeatedly about Gordon; but if he turns his life around to the extent he is able to entertain fans like he was born to do - it's a great story we can all enjoy.
And now back to our regularly scheduled 1-23 Rent-a-Wreck following the 3-18 finish from our previous regime under the criteria-free hiring of Jimmy.

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.
