The Josh Gordon thread **merged**

[joseephuss]

Dallas lacks the structural leadership to make it work. New England is a fort, they seldom have any distractions and when they do they know how to manage them. Look at the Aaron Hernandez situation, they put that fire out in a matter of seconds.

Hernandez was arrested on murder charges in a spectacular fashion. It was obvious at the time that he was in serious trouble and his NFL career was over. It was an easy decision for any franchise to cut ties with him at the time. The Patriots are definitely a well run franchise, but I believe every other team(maybe Al Davis) would have done the same thing.

Not even close. Gordon is an all pro talent that led the league in receiving yards despite playing 14 games that year. Gregory has what 1 sack. And david irving while good has all his sacks in bunches and has not received a pro bowl nod.

That is how this world works, if you are of value, all is not equal. Success, talent, looks, influence, power, etc. Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, and so on.

Just more evidence why our front office is mediocre.

 

[Starforever]

The Patriots just got a problematic player who has All-Pro caliber talent.

Our problematic players are JAGs until proven otherwise.

Does that change anything?

 

[DOUBLE WING]

Does that change anything?

Uh yeah, it changes everything. If you're going to have a druggie on the roster, it's a little more justifiable if he's an all-world talent as opposed to just another guy.

 

[TheHerd]

Haha, he'll get the red carpet from league. No chance of any further discipline. He's sparking it up as we speak.

 

[TheHerd]

And can all the "let's follow the Patriot model and not sign fa, especially questionable ones" please keep quiet from now on?

 

[Reid1boys]

The same half that think Bruce butler is a good add

Who the heck is Bruce butler?

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Patriots need a WR, they go get Josh Gordon.

Cowboys need a WR, they go get Brice Butler.

I can’t think of any better example to sum up why these two franchises are in the state they’re each currently in.

BOY YOU NAILED IT! because we like our players or old players.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Saving up to get Earl Thomas to add to our already promising defense?

Just more evidence why our front office is mediocre.

Then 31 other teams must have mediocre front offices as well. The team that is giving him up and the 30 other teams that didn't offer anything better than the Patriots did. Heck, not every team even bothered to show interest in trading for him. Only a handful of teams even had discussions with the Browns.

 

[GenoT]

Appears to be going to NE...pretty much a done deal.

There was very much interest per Adam on ESPN, between 8-10 teams with us blowing up the browns phone trying to get him for nothing pretty much.

Well some teams didn’t inquire because they don’t need a WR.

We do.

But keep making excuses for the front office.

This, just a 5th. Like a 5th would start here. Heck we have first rounders that can't start for us.

 

[BAT]

Pick up Coleman for a look.
