Trade: Josh Gordon (traded to Patriots for conditional 5th)

[Troy McClure]

I think it's more that he lied to them.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

As a guy who took both Brady and Gordon in his pay league I'm pretty stoked about this. Hope Josh can stay focused and motivated.

They're also now joined at the hip.

The Jets have 3 really good receivers.

Who are you referring to?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Who are you referring to?

Anderson, Enunwa and Kearse. Especially Anderson. Not their fault they are playing with a rookie.

Don’t like Pryor?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Don’t like Pryor?

Doesn't stay on the field. Just like Gordon.

 

[What the Faulk]

Enunwa is the only one I'd call "really good". If the other two are, then like 60 WRs are "really good".

Gordon needs to look no further than his locker mate for what you would call a model citizen/player.... hopefully he'll finally learn.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Enunwa is the only one I'd call "really good". If the other two are, then like 60 WRs are "really good".

Robby Anderson was the 32nd highest ranked receiver last year by PFF. That's easily a #2 or low end #1.

The problem with the Jets WR core is they have guys that fill their roles, but no #1 guy. Enunwa, Anderson and Kearse would all fall into place perfectly on a depth chart if they had that WR1 to slot them all down a peg.

He's got skills and has produced with no real QB, but when I think of "really good", I think of the top, like, 20 guys. Semantics, though.

I agree with this.

 

[Tuggy]

BB all positive about Gordon so far (wouldn't expect anything else), but I've got a good feeling about this move.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

How did you feel about OchoCinco?

The situation is different. Chad was at the end of his career but Gordon still has lots to give. I won't lie, I was excited about OchoCinco but just didn't work out.

Patriots seem pretty committed to try and make Gordon work.

 

[MMC]

Back on his bullshit

 

[Troy McClure]

He’s on his 40th second chance. No guy has done less with more.

 

[m9]

Continues to remind me of David Boston. One huge season, some flashes in other seasons, but too much stuff going on off-the-field.

And though it's not to Boston's level, Gordon's gotten pretty jacked up himself which isn't really important for his position and if anything will just hurt his cardio and speed.

 

[Voight]

Sucks this came after his 100 YD game but I think he'll be fine. Pats are also more strict than any other team, he could have been late by 5 minutes for all we know.

I suspect if it was anything anyone else would consider "serious", he'd be getting a bigger punishment then sitting (roughly) the first quarter of a Bills game.

Still not good, but I'm not ready to be angry/frustrated/disappointed about it yet, especially with how well he's played & that Brady clearly trusts him to throw some of the 50/50 balls he has thrown to him. I'd say Brady has trusted less than half of the WRs that have come through here.

 

[m9]

Maybe he'll turn it around, but Gordon kind of looks like a non-factor out there these days. Not as explosive, very poor tracking of the ball on the deep play last night, and there have been concerns about his conditioning. No surprise the Pats are looking at other WRs.

 

[Tuggy]

Great...

 

[Tuggy]

 

[Dr Pepper]

Again?!

Pats probably could've used him in the playoffs, but I doubt that's happening now.

How many chances is this guy going to get?

 

[Habsawce]

His career is likely over.
