I am prepared to get blasted for this, but I could argue that in a dynasty format, Alshon Jefferey should be ranked higher than Gordon.
Why would any of these things affect his ranking after last year? He can't get worse in terms of QBs and surrounding weapons and I can't think of any possible HC/OC hires that would make us say "They're not going to use Gordon"
Well I think Chud and Norv were actually competent coaches, with respect to getting Josh the ball.
well when you come up with rankings, you try and take everything into account, injuries, situation, risk factor, suspension, coaches, stability of qb etc.
Yeah, I don't know either. I wish I did.
Highly unlikely. He's still raw so has tons of room for improvement. Not to mention he'll be playing with a better QB than what he had to endure this year. It's just crazy talk to think this was his ceiling.
based on what I have heard around town it's not. He may have turned a new leaf given his success this season, or he could let it get to his head and revert to former behavior.At his current rate he is not a dynasty buy because you're paying for the ceiling and not getting the he has ####ed up too often discount. Re evaluate in July.
Yeah, I don't know how anyone, even Gordon himself, could be sure at this point that he'll never, ever screw up again. We've seen it happen enough to know it's at least a possibility, so I'd disagree with anyone saying it's a complete non-issue.
pretty sure this is correct. Gordon apparently said he THOUGHT he was one strike away, but I havent heard any credible source confirm it.

Think this was posted here earlier in the thread:
Thanks for the link, so nobody really knows and instead of being 1 step away from year long he might be a step and a half away... ok. Also that article came out during the trade rumors so I could see some deception going on here while trying to entice another team to pony up.
College: He was suspended in 2010....He was suspended in 2011....... Pro's: He was suspended in 2013

so are people hoping he fails to prove they were right? Id like to think at some point a light goes on and he ''gets it'' Ive seen interviews with veteran WR`s who have been around Gordon last season and they have gone on record saying hes matured since the year before.In my opinion hes worth the risk of drafting very early . Personally i grabbed him off waivers so he counts as an 8th rd pick in my keeper league,but i wouldnt hesitate to grab in in the 2nd rd of re-draft .Two Deep said:
no, I don't want to see anyone fail from drugs but just playing the numbers game. Could he be over it and the light be turned on, yes ofcourse... but in many causes like this people don't recover until they lose everything or never recover at all. The point of the poster above is hes had an issue just about every yr hes played college and professional football.so are people hoping he fails to prove they were right?

I get being a tad hesitant drafting Gordan because of his past ,but i would rather take a chance on him early than Julio Jones . Julio`s reoccurring foot injury scares me way more.(just an example )no, I don't want to see anyone fail from drugs but just playing the numbers game.

I don't disagree but he doesn't need to be an addict, he just needs to take a hit of a joint which he appears that he likes to do (NTTAWWT)....
The NFL drug program is no joke. You don't have to be an addict to fail a test. Someone posted an article about a former player and the program and I didn't know how tough the program is until then.
