Josh Gordon Traded to Pats

If only the Browns would've given him multiple chances over a period of half a decade...... if only.

Glad to see a few of us were typing the same thoughts at the same time.

LOL, but the dreamers are still thinking "just give him one more chance, and THIS time it's going to be different."
Ironic isn't it that Huey would not give JFF the time of day, but he tried to ignore the ticking clock on JG.

The difference being...JG actually has talent.

Too bad he didn't want to play here.

I enjoy most of your posts Aggies; but don't blame anyone but JFF for not giving the NFL the time of day he prioritized to partying. Like Canton Dawgs is saying, there's 31 other NFL teams that gave him the exact same "no thanks" that has him playing in Canada. Is he even tearing that level of competition up?
I welcome the only Defensive Coordinator to earn a Superbowl Ring in New Orleans while understanding Revenge of the Nerds is a sequel. "Come get some!" -

A little fore-shadowing here.... he is not.

JFF was a rich alcoholic, JG has a deep anxiety issue stemming back from middle school.
QBs are generally the face of the franchise

I grew up (that's debatable) watching so many QBs that loved to party in college like Bernie Kosar, Jim Kelly, Brett Favre, Tommy Kramer, Wade Wilson, and others. Some of them still became good-great pro QBs anyhow. So, I thought Manziel would also be able to do that so this knucklehead was all excited we drafted him. If my career depended on pegging NFL QBs right, I'd be sleeping under bridges...

Don't misunderstand what I'm saying. i am not defending JFF in any way. What I am saying is that given his history all the way back to HS, Baylor, etc. JG should not have been given any more consideration that JFF. Neither should have been given the time of day. Nothing about him said. "Keep him". It's the old saying of first time shame on you, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th shame on me.

I remember the announcement on the radio when Gordon was selected and the annoucers saying, WHAT THE FU-CK?

They were both given consideration based on their talent in College. One was selected in the supplemental draft and one was taken in the first round of the NFL draft. One was given a longer leash because when he did play he played at an All-Pro level the other one sucked to put it nicely when he played. Talent rules all in the NFL and of course a troubled talented guy is going to get more chances then a troubled guy who struggles to pick up the game.

The thing that pissed me off the most about JM was his lackadaisical attitude towards his job as an NFL QB.
He could’ve given more effort, which may or may not have been reflected in his on the field play.
Judging from his letter to Baker Mayfield, it sounds like JM has a few regrets...not as many as Browns fans though.

Well I am playing him this coming week in FF. I think he's had enough time to adjust to Brady and vice versa. Had 100 yds this week with no TDs.
Plus I have 4 WR/RB types out with injuries so not a lot choice coming up.

Saved me typing time...
I'll only add that once upon a time JG showed a work ethic (which by all accounts has been revived in NE).
JFF? Never did... all the "1st guy in... last guy out" we were spoon fed by a fan onslaught was pure BS... a College Station myth. And he was drag on Gordon's potential.

So you got to wonder what exactly it was about Cleveland that Josh Gordon was so desperate to get away from? Seems like everybody that over backwards to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Imma go with losing.
Not the first...
Hopefully is the last.

Considering the narrowness of some of these losses...in theory, if he had been in there helping according to his talent, those losses could have turned into wins. (and considering how much dropped passes have contributed to the losses). So, Fuyck him if he is thinking that way.
Besides, I don't think it is any of that. I don't even think he even wanted out of here. I don't think he put any thought into that. I just think he was doing his somewhat normal Josh Gordon irresponsible behavior thing....and Dorsey for one wasn't going to put up with it and got rid of him.
