Here is an excerpt from a post by a respected pro Josh Gordon supporter by the name of MacKeyser, Grits.
Note the reference about his agent claiming that Gordon is now "squared away".
Point being, this topic is far from unanimous. So to declare it "stupid" is a bit premature, if you ask me. After all, the upside is acquiring an ELITE WR.
Here's that MacKeyser excerpt...
Josh Gordon is EXACTLY the kind of next level of talent that the Patriots will send a 5th or 6th rounder for and use him and his superlative talents to win another Championship while the rest of the league says, "who knew?"
Sorry. It's just not that hard to figure out. If he's as squared away as his agent says, (and again, it would be career suicide for both the agent and Gordon if his agent were lying about his sobriety and seriousness about Football), then it's incumbent on teams to take advantage of this.
The Patriots are constantly taking advantage of stuff like this. Heck, they picked up Michael Floyd from AZ and while he wasn't fully in the mix, he threw some excellent blocks and contributed to their run. People said Randy Moss was done or at the very least wasn't worth the heartache and he had a record setting year with the Pats.
I'm done...done, done, done with the Pats being the only team that takes advantage of prime opportunities. IF... IF Gordon is squared away like it seems (and I know many don't buy it and that's fine), but IF he's squared away, he's the kind of difference maker that Goff in his second year and his first in this new offense would desperately need to gain the confidence he needs to become the franchise QB he can be.
Woods is very good, but the combo of Woods and Gordon for our young QB would be next level. Add in Tavon, Higbee, Cooper and let's not forget Gurley and Goff would have all the weapons he needs AND an offense in which to fully utilize them.
