Josh Gordon Tweets He Will Not Be At Training Camp This Week
-
Assuming that he did not fail a drug test or relapse...
1) Good for Josh Gordon and his team. Seek help when you think there is a chance of relapsing or any confusing thoughts. This shows MAJOR progress that he is maturing and serious about his disease
2) Good for the Browns for supporting this. I think the Browns have a much stronger support group as a team than ever before. I feel as though this was definitely in the works because Gordon felt as though he could leave and not be judged by his teammates. It's the beginning of training camp. Outside of timing routes, for a guy like Gordon, this is the least useful part of camp.
3.) Mental health (Kevin Love) and Addiction (too many to name) are major problems in pro sports, good job by the Browns and Josh Gordon's team for identifying and reacting. The NFL should be applauding the Browns and Gordon (assuming he is clean) for this approach.
4) This is more 3b, but I am guessing this was all part of the plan from the very beginning. There is a ton of stress and pressure on Gordon going into this year. Kudos to his team for planning this ahead of time and setting him up for success. The Browns had a statement very quickly in response to this. I think they knew of the plan and supported it from the very beginning.
5) The browns have enough talent at the WR position and other receiving spots for the worst case scenario. Gordon makes this unit potentially elite, but at the same time, unlike in years past, they have a legit go to guy in Landry, Johnson is amazing out of the backfield, Ndjoku is a legit receiving threat at the TE position, and Callaway and Coleman could be stars in their own right if they can stay on the field.
-
The bottom line here is that Josh Gordon CANNOT be counted on.
Possibly- but looks like the Browns were well aware of the situation....

Sounds kind of weak to me. How the hell is he going to play?

Yes, I'm leaning in the direction that he won't be here for day 1. But if he is, good for us. It's too bad the team really was counting on him being here and it's a blow that chances are, he won't. Let's keep our fingers crossed for opening day. Just too bad with all his talent, he can't seem to display it. I really think if he did, he could be in the top 2 or 3 WRs in the league.

Well I would assume he gets him mind right, comes back in a few weeks, and starts playing.

This is an excellent post. To those who say Josh cant be counted on I say this is more of an indication of the opposite. He is recognizing the issue and proactively attacking it prior to the season start. It appears that this was very much done with the team and its medical staff involved. I am still going to unwrap my Gordon jersey that arrived today.

Great for him, but all I care about is his performance on the field. This doesn't show me anything.
Actually, it kind of does. His availability is always in doubt.
Now, his comeback, with Hard Knocks (media on steroids) and all ... could be causing anxiety ... who knows? Sympathy deserved. But from a team fan's perspective, he's not to be counted on.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
This may be TMI but for the hell of it I thought I would share anyway. I abused drugs and alcohol from the age of about 18 to 28. There was literally nothing I didn't try and I used daily. That and the impact it had on my life made me the very definition of an addict / alcoholic. A couple years of crack at the end helped get me to rehab sooner than many. I've been clean and sober now 28 years.
So now to the reason I shared that today. There were many things I had never done without being under the influence of something. Now the TMI, As an example I literally had never had sex without being blasted (yea started late at 18 lol). I remember the first time it was going to happen with a new girlfriend several months into being sober , I was fricking anxiety ridden to the point of potentially cancelling her visit to the house that night. Trust me too, I LOVE SEX. I simply wasn't sure how to act in that situation being sober. I sought the support of a meeting and my sponsor and learned it was pretty damn normal for someone like me to feel like that.
Gordon loves football but he has really never played it sober. He hasn't faced training camp pressure, fans, teammates and high expectations for performance clean and sober literally ever in his adult life. As the stark reality of training camp and the impending season set in he probably got more and more nervous about his ability to perform and more importantly his ability to cope. The fear of failure is likely gnawing at him. So now , in conjunction with the team he is addressing the concern proactively. I say this shows growth in his recovery and is a good sign!
In conclusion I predict he gets the additional support and lights it up this season just like i lit up that girl after my additional counseling LOL.

actually I was thinking along the same line That Josh just didn't want to deal with hard knocks

It blows my mind that there are still Browns fans excited by this guy.
I hope he gets his personal life fixed, I do.
But I'm more than ready to move on from him as a Browns player.

EXCELLENT post..Thank you & thank you for sharing on such a personal level.
It's very easy for others of us to post opinions when we haven't gone through what Josh is, but you've been there. Kudos to you.

IN DORSEY I TRUST -
Josh is our secret weapon. Shock and Awe is hard to come by when it's all broadcasted worldwide thanks to HBO.

WAIT ................. No No.. it can't be............................ Ghoolie just wrote the Browns iwll struggle because THEY DO NOT HAVE playmakers. Oh, I know, you blowjobs create fantasy scenarios on PAPER where you actually believe the Browns are FINALLY packed with top quality playmakers, ( every year you a holes do this). Josh Gordon is NOT a top tier NFL reciever. He has skills, yes, but he is not tough, he is not driven and he is not disciplined.
SO NOW? TOugh guy Dorsey is already reaching down to grab his ankles because Gordon...............who hasn't had a fukcking thing to do for 3 years............... NEEDS TIME to get his rehab progam and goals in order? LMAO @ Browns fans. You fukcktards believe whatever is fed to you, don't you?
The Browns do not have a WR, RB, QB or TE that could start for any of last year's playoff teams, and likely not for 2/3s of the entire league.
TIC TIC TIC.............. can you hear it? Can you feel it starting to crumble? A team without a foundation is destined to keep losing.
THe Steelers are going to butt phukc the Browns on opening day.
Calling out an organization for having the health of a player as its priority is pathetic, even for you.

Dude....... this guy has had 3 years to get his "heath" in order. THIS IS A BULLSCHIDT COVER UP STORY MAN...........................For all he has been through, how does he jump on the opportunity to reclaim his career???????????????????? He remains unprepared. DOn't be a jackoff dude. THere is nothing wrong with the guys health.............. he needs an extra 7 days for the traces of weed smoking clear his blood.

Guilty. Can’t help it after seeing a WR, who actually played for my team, tear defenses a new pooper. I am coming around now letting him go. This story just sounds like he has screwed up again. If it was genuine and innocent, I have to believe we would have heard something well before now. Hope I’m wrong.

Yep, I guess I am. At least if I die tonight, it won't be as a suspicious, negative, cinical SOB.

Landry is a second tier WR. He isn't going to carry this team anywhere. Gordon is a joke. Buying another week to let his blood clear a bit for drug testing.
LOL, only a second tier WR that led the NFL in receptions last year, and is in the top 20 in yards. Second tier my a$$.
Regarding Gordon- straight from NFL.com : While he didn't go into particulars, Gordon stated that current treatment, which will keep him away from the practice field, surrounding his well-being has been coordinated with the NFL, NFLPA and the Browns.
(creepy background music should acure clicking on this topic)..Call me shultz-"I know NOTHING"
