He's also proven he can get suspended and miss an entire season. A risk you don't take with Coleman. I mean, I doubt I'd really want either. But it just seems to me the valuing on this is way off. But that's ok, different people think differently and I'm not here trying to tell anyone they are wrong. As I said, it was just a question on his train of thought.
Because Gordon was dominant in 2013. You remember 2013 don't you? Peyton Manning was passing for 5500/55. Chip was the hot buzz in the league turning the hapless 4-win Eagles into a playoff team his first season as HC. Promising rookie Zack Stacy almost had 1,000 yard and had 7 TD in only 12 starts with the Rams. Andre Johnson was dominating PPR with 109 receptions for over 14000 yards. Seems like just yester...... wait, how long ago was it that Josh Gordon looked any good?DallasDMac said:
Not disagreeing with you, but to play devil's advocate, he didn't exactly set the world on fire when he came back in 2014. So we are to believe that with an even longer layoff, an equally disappointing QB situation, and more guys to steal targets than a few years ago . . . that he will do almost as well as 2013 on a per game basis? Just floating that out there.

Even if Gordon plays lights out - which isn't out of the question but also isn't any kind of lock - with all of the good receivers in the league right now, this seems like a pretty outlandish statement.
+1
He'd be a rising Junior in college if he was a HS senior when he had his career year.
Justin Blackmon is 26. Manziel is 23. Sounds like one hell of a young nucleus to build around.
was blackmon ever reinstated?
thank god for that, imagine your posting, off the pot.I'd never have played a game. I got a prescription
I think he was, wasn't he? Didn't he missed the first four games of '13 for a suspension, then get suspended again indefinitely?
Blackmon averaged over 7 catches and over 100 yards/game after being reinstated. Before getting suspended again.
He did?
Second time busted for weed. If it wasnt during a revised policy, Bell would be gone for much longer.
Apples to oranges? More like McIntosh to Granny Smith! This would be Bell's second suspension plus a DUI? Love his talent, as I do Gordon's and even Martavis Bryant's, but once these guys get busted multiple times, there is always going to be a risk associated with them.
Decker finished as WR10 in a non-ppr league I am in. Maclin was #17. Both with a game missed due to injury. I simply listed these players as 2 (of 15) good AFC receivers I could think of (right off the top of my head) that Gordon would be up against just to finish top 10 in his conference let alone the entire league as soulfly suggested.
Bell has never been "busted" by the NFL for weed, as far as we know. He was entered into the program b/c of his arrest for DWI for weed, and he has missed tests, resulting in his pending suspension. Now one could surmise (probably correctly) that he missed those tests b/c he would have pissed dirty, but the fact remains he has never been "busted" by the NFL for weed.
changing what subject? I won. Gordon will be back this season, by week 5. Despite months and months of knowledgeable members saying otherwise
He did and it's a good sign pointing to the NFL lightening up on players smoking herb. They could have snap suspended him another year with his failed/missed test earlier this year, but they made the right choice and just gave him a slap on the hand.
