Josh Gordon Traded to Pats
-
Unfortunately I'm one of the knuckleheads that put logic in a gas fire. Gotta confess - he beat the tar out of me over the years. When he first arrived I was all - "let's give the guy a chance." Fooled me once, fooled me twice and then I went all about-face the next few years posting WTF are we wasting our time on this guy for? Next thing I know I'm finding myself all in on his "Come to Jesus" moment with finally taking the drug addiction and career serious. Gee, there's a surprise - Flugel has his village idiot hat on before week 2 kicks off. That wasn't cheap either. I had to fill out an id ten t form to get it. Here's what that form looks like in all caps - ID10T.
There's allegedly a handful of teams interested (per ESPN's Adam Schefter) - so can we at least get more than a 7th round pick for him? Or, do we massacre that too?
You got caught up in his potential, Flugz. We all did. The comments now, including mine are filled with a lot of frustration and anger. I think however that even his best champion has to admit that the likelihood that he showed up drunk/high is pretty good. I imagine the Browns are not going to broadcast what Kabot wrote as "he wasn't himself" and "they felt his sobriety was in question". If Gordon was just drunk he will play again. If he was high then we will find out about it. Either way, whoever, if anyone picks him up, he becomes someone else's headache. I wouldn't take a chance on him.

Tom at this point- it's not frustration- Gordon has frustrated us often enough. I my corner- it's disappointment that a guy with all the talent in the world didn't have enough discipline to use it. It would be so Browns for him to go on to another team and have a stellar career. Dorsey and Hue finally just ran out of patience- and the rest of us too.

Larry, we have been on the same page on this guy all along. I just spit fire and brimstone differently than you do. Along the way, I was condemning the NFL for what I thought was unfair punishment. Rather than mingle adjectives and feelings, my position is what I hope the organizations' is; It doesn't matter what happens in Gordon's future, we need to put him in our past. He needs to be gone. There are too many good players and positive energies with this team now to bee flucking around with this idiot.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

Again- is this team cursed or what? We played well enough to win today. Then our kicker tries to do a Josh Allen imitation kicking- can't convert a kick. We win this game otherwise. It's always something...

Larry, it isn't always something. It is the same thing. Offense wins. Everything else is just fluff. Since 1999, you have argued with me, and the one thing consistent with the Browns is that they have purposely not participated in taking the top tier offensive playmakers. Ben, AP, Julio Jones, Trubisky, Barkley, and now this year? More meaningless players.
Be honest, can you not at least look at the history of your posts and realize that maybe you continue to bark up the wrong tree? Larry, buddy, if I had a nickel for every time you have told me........
- if not for that playu
- if he just makes that catch
- if they don't throw that flag
- if he just makes that kick
- we played good enough to win
I really would have a lot of nickels. You think getting a new kicker will solve this plague? A KICKER? That's the magic? Larry, as long as I have known you, you treat the symptoms and not the illness. You don't draft a Zumba instructor and a midget QB, you don't sign a run-first QB, you don't fill the backfield with average backs, and expect to win football games. You don't draft an OL #1 when you have no ability to score.
The reasons the Browns continue to lose is because they have no offensive weapons. They cannot put games away Offense always has, and offense always will make the difference between champions and nobodies.
The only reason the Browns lost today is that they can't score touchdowns. You cannot depend on a kicker every single week. You look at 2 missed field goals and say to yourself " if only the kicker did this, we win"....I look at the entire game. I see a defense that holds the score down, I see two key turnovers, and I see a team that has every opportunity to win, but instead leaves the door open for teams to make a comeback. Bro, when you can't put a team away, you give away the momentum and you give away the game.
Marty and Kosar go down in history as losers for the very same reason.
The Browns missed the boat on this draft. Barkely was the right pick and one of the BIG QBs would have been available. HYOu mark my words, Mayfiled is not going to be much. If he was, he would have outshined Tarkenton. All season long, you will be saying the same thing...."we played good enough to win. The problem is, we don't draft good enough to win.
It's sad, buddy. But jeezus, how many times are the Browns going to make the same exact choices and realize that it is offense, offense offense that is the missing link?

can't believe i'm going to say this but spot on
-
... and the beat goes on...
He hasn't been released yet...
Released is being used, but I think "waived" is the proper term (kinda like collusion vs. conspiracy... but I digress).
Anywho... were he waived he'd have to clear waivers to become an UFA, and the odds of that happening given the trade inquiries that came rolling in on the news are slim and none.
He doesn't have to go through waivers. He's a vested vet so if he's released he becomes a free agent. That's why its put out that we are going to release him. Find out who wants him bad enough to give us something for him. Once he's released and a free agent he can go anywhere he wants to go. Dallas and SF have shown interest.

With Gordon gone we have zero red zone threats on this team.

SOMEBODY BETTER MAN THE Shmuck UP AND ADMIT THAT THEY OVERREACTED!!!! APOLIGIZE FOR MAKING STUPID THREATS AND NOT KEEPING PLAYER DISIPLINE IN HOUSE...

Long time no see, PoG!
Here you go, your assignments for this season: defend Hue, Gonzalez and Josh Gordon.

...... dude, I just can't even.
It isn't even fun anymore.
This feels forced from him. Almost like "oh man, I forgot to completely spazz out about Gordon like I did Haden last year!".

.... Don't forget Trent.
I'm trying to guess which is going to be the storyline this season for PoG. Have you got in mind any other dubious Browns player you think he can back?

I'm still trying to forget his creepy obsession over Hogan.

Hogan is going to take over that Bronco's team shortly.
