Gordon will be this years biggest draft bust imo. I just don't see him doing well with the small holes you have to work with in the NFL. Vision is hard to measure when the holes at Wisconsin are 5 yds wide,.
Serious question how many Wisconsin games did you actually watch last year?
How many Wisconsin RB's have you watched in the NFL?
I realize I have been the loudest doubter since the day they traded three draft picks to draft him but I think they did a bit of injustice in only allowing him six(disappointing) carries. He may have a period of adjustment to the NFL. Normally I don't like seeing starters exposed to injury but this kid has a lot to learn. He absolutely will break off chunks of yards if given enough opportunities and it would have been nice to see him given more like 10-12 chances to show that and build his confidence with at least one good play.
I was worried how he would do at the goal line... but will he even get goal line carries if this is his style? So to recap, he'll have a very limited role in the passing game and as I have been saying maybe his redzone role may be smaller than first thought. Sounds like a very, very expensive COP back to me unless he is given enough time to figure things out BEFORE the games start to count. SD can't afford to flush another Rivers season down the toilet because this guy is on the field with training wheels in real games.
