Kelly the Dog Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Shouldn't we want Josh Gordon to not be himself? 1
CommonCents Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Drunk Josh Gordon or 3 Kelvin Benjamins? Who you taking? It’s not even close.

Yeah, we don't need Josh freakin' Gordon. He'd ruin the WR room if not the whole team! If it's questionable if he'll be able to play or get into a bunch of **** and not it makes sense. A body is better than nothing. If they can get him with a deal where if he screws up he doesn't get much then sure give him a chance to redeem himself.

Teddy KGB Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Stolen from comments section “Now here’s a guy that likes to get high everyday” Chris Collinsworth ??
Clyde Smith Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 He would make a instant impact on receiving and the running game. Beane needs to make it up for missing out on Mack.
Peter Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 I have not read the previous 8 pages of posts, but I cannot help but feel sorry for the guy. I think of someone like Philip Seymour Hoffman who had so much talent and a beautiful family, but yet, the pull of something that he had not done in so long was too much for him and his life (and those of people around him) was ruined.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 Just think of the football team you could put together of all the players who destroyed/limited their careers with such things as drugs, attitude, greed, crime, abuse of females, laziness, and murder: Bryant, Gordon, Jones, Haynesworth, Marinovich, what's his name in prison for murdering his pregnant girlfriend in NC, etc. etc. etc.

BADOLBILZ Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 47 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: He can be a really interesting guy and not a jerk, but if he can’t control his addiction and be all in and all there for his team, he isn’t very valuable as a football player I’m sure it’s not the same folks, but I’m amused that people complain about Watkins (always hurt) and Clay (disappears except against Miami) and Benjamin (appears occasionally when he feels energized or something) but want to bring in a guy who hasn’t been there for his team except sporadically. How would that differ? Well I think you'll find that the "worth a shot" crowd......of which I am a part......isn't all that mad at Watkins, Clay or even Benjamin. Gordon differs from Clay and Benjamin in that when he steps on the field.........even after years away from the game........he was an instant matchup advantage and makes plays. Hell he scored a TD last week and would have had another if Tyrod didn't under throw him. Clay is an afterthought to me at this point. They signed him after decades of woeful TE play and you can expect to overpay for proven talent early in FA. Doctors blew the physical or something because he was damaged goods. They overpaid but they had proven inept at finding and developing talent and needed him to play the Walker role in Roman's offense. Benjamin was well worth trading a 3rd round pick for........he's just not well suited to be the #1 WR for a good passing offense. He's a tweener who needs matchup advantages. He's a bit like Jimmy Graham.......you can pretty much stop him cold by putting a #1 corner on him. People will say the same about Watkins because he wasn't targeted in LA last year when he faced a murders row of shutdown corners and McVay chose to let Goff annihilate greater matchups afforded the rest of the WR corps...........but as Bandit has pointed out frequently the numbers show that when targeted Watkins was elite with the Bills. 2
x-BillzeBubba Posted September 16, 2018 Posted September 16, 2018 If Gordon ends up on the Bills everybody will bash McBeane, but if he ends up on the Pats its because BB is a genius.
