DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Josh Gordon ... 3rd time.....the charm?

Is it possible? Is Josh clean, and ready to go? The whole story or none story, seems fishy, but whatever, if he’s healthy, wealthy, happy and ready to go...let’s roll. I’m in.

If Josh Gordon is good to go we are a completely different team to try and defend.

My Butch Davis gut feeling tells me we cannot count on Gordon. So I am not.

It's probably not wise to use that phrase around a Josh Gordon thread.

He's here all week, folks... try the veal.

And you posted your comment at 4:20....of course...

Every QB we've had has forced the ball to him even when he wasn't open. Let's hope even if he gets on the field that doesn't happen.

So .... the exciting Josh news ... on a thread with a bunch of replies ...... is no news.

he's the Siren Song of the NFL

So this isn't really news but Josh did just post this on IG. He also has been liking all the Cleveland Browns IG posts.

That would look a lot cooler if it had been posted from a room in Berea.

I apparently missed something here. Any hints?

It's just a picture; no apparent meaning.

My gut is with yours. What will it take to know something? And when might that be?

When Josh Gordon decides he is ready.

The Instagram picture looked like a werewolf holding a Browns' helmet in front of its face. I think the werewolf was wearing a jersey (not a Browns jersey) with #12 on it. I wonder if this means Josh thinks he's a werewolf, because I hate to tell you Josh, but that's another problem.

looks like a Browns jersey to me... werewolf putting on his helmet. Alpha Dog getting ready to do battle; suiting up? He may well be about to show up?

It's literally a Brown jersey!

Is this what we have been reduced to!?!?!

Relax, Clarence, its a joke. Jeezus, people here are so freaking literal.

Or you're the one who didn't get the joke.

No stripes on the helmet...hmmm.

maybe he just is saying he wants a shave

They didn’t have stripes during OTAs.

for whatever reason, Daryl Ruiter just tweeted that he doesn't expect Gordon back for week 1

This dude's comment on the post takes the word right out of my mouth:

Have to see it to believe it. Same old thing year in and year out. Commit to the game and show us what you got!

Who?

I was a huge Josh fan, but now I wish he would just go away. This act is old. If he is better and can work out in Florida, come to camp. IMO, all he is trying to do is sell shirts and hoodies. Show up or shut up

he's a beat writer for the Browns; talking about Gordon not being here for week 1

Ruiter: If Josh Gordon doesn't show up this week, I wouldn't expect him to be ready by Week 1

It really sucks that the team has to deal w/the uncertainty of Josh Gordon and all his drama.

Repeatedly... as' well.

I believe this is accurate and I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised by any of this. It's become an annual tradition of Browns fans. "The Josh Gordon Saga".

That's why I said that the team might be better off just to cut ties with Gordon now.

I believe it was Parcells who said that ability without availability is useless. Gordon has been useless for a long time now.

What happens if we make the playoffs and Gordon has to go away for a month? We count on him to be here, but can we really count on him?

I'm thinking this exactly.

At 780,000$ a year, he's still more valuable than our last WR.

I'd like to keep him at least through the current accrued season


Don't plan on him being here. But if he is, he's better than our worst receiver

The problem is when you start relying on an unreliable person. Josh has been unreliable for years and l don't see that changing. Move on, bring in Dez, and/or another receiver, and allow Higgins to assume a bigger role.

It is stupid to count on Gordon.

j/c:

I am not saying we should cut Gordon. I just think it's a shame the "team" has to deal w/his constant drama.

Whose fault is that, that the Browns have to deal with Gordon's drama? The easy answer is that it is Gordon's fault. But after a while, it ceases to be Gordon's fault and it becomes the Browns' fault.

The Browns are still a clownshow. They have chosen, choose now, and will continue to choose to deal with Gordon's drama. The Browns knowingly and willfully choose to let a player defecate all over them, year after year after year.

Why? Because the Browns have no pride and no backbone. They are so pathetic and desperate that they will let a player do that to them. Real teams cut players like Gordon and move on. The Browns, clownshow extraordinaire, do what Browns do.

(P.S. Folks, be happy that I stayed off that "Optimism" thread, because I would have gone full tilt Debbie Downer and ruined it for everybody. ;-)

Hey, even if you expect six wins and think the team is on the right track that isn't enough to qualify as optimistic. Some of those guys are on the train headed for disaster!
