No, you were embarassingly wrong prattling on about the monster shape he was in. He arrived for camp out of shape, in with an injury. He wasn't ready. Everyone else arrived in shape for camp, I guess they were running sprints instead of posting Instagram videos.
uniforms look sharp.
LOLIf Pryor keeps this up, there could be trouble for Gordon's expected targets.
I think they'll trade Gordon if they believe in Pryor.If Pryor keeps this up, there could be trouble for Gordon's expected targets.
Pryor is UFA in 2017I think they'll trade Gordon if they believe in Pryor.
"being in shape isn't the same in being in football shape"
the guy is in shape, dont know how else you want me to put this to you. he will be reinstated in February. He will have 6 months to get into your beloved "football shape" if that makes you any happier.
Don't get the cart too far in front of the horse on the TP bandwagon.If Pryor keeps this up, there could be trouble for Gordon's expected targets.
Well said, Bracie Smathers. I am really enjoying watching Pryor's development as a receiver, but at this point, he is still very raw. His athleticism is impressive, but he is essentially Cordarrelle Patterson at this point. He could make some big plays, but until he develops and expands his game, I don't believe he poses any threat to Gordon's playing time or targets. The biggest threat to Gordon is Gordon.Don't get the cart too far in front of the horse on the TP bandwagon.
Last year he only caught one pass.
This preseason he basically has only caught balls on GO routes.
His footwork needs improvement because he's so tall that he doesn't make quick-choppy steps and we saw him get blown up on a screen last night when he caught the ball behind the LOS. Basically, I'd like to see him do something with the ball in space behind the LOS or on a comeback but the only time we've seen him is on GO routes.
I'd like to see him work the middle of the field and catch something in traffic.
I'd like to see a whole hell of a lot more from Terrell Pryor before I'd say he's a threat to the NFL leading receiver from a few years ago who missed the first two games of that year due to a suspension so he lead the league in only 14 games instead of the rest of the WRs he beat that year who played full 16 game schedules.
JG is the real deal when he's healthy and has his head screwed on right. TP is only in his second year learning the WR position.
accurate, tho?massraider said:Weak sauce.
This is spot on. Nobody balks at an older Jordy Nelson missing a year AND coming back from injury. Even some extra weight at the start of camp shouldn't last long for a 25 year old guy.You do realize a lot of players get injured and are out of football for years at a time, right? I do agree that people may be underestimating this, but lets not act like running and catching a football(after doing so most of their lives) isn't fairly easy to pick back up. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing.
Three $ auctions I know of - $9, $8 and $8 on a $200 budget.Any insight into what Gordon has been going for in auctions, as percentage of budget?
Layaway plan, orrrr?Three $ auctions I know of - $9, $8 and $8 on a $200 budget.
$8 in a $200 cap this weekAny insight into what Gordon has been going for in auctions, as percentage of budget?
After the time off he should be in the 'best shape of his life', not struggling to lose weight. Points more to where his head is at then whether he'll be able to get into better shape.This is spot on. Nobody balks at an older Jordy Nelson missing a year AND coming back from injury.

Missing some time and conditioning don't bother me. The chance he screws up again? That's a different story. I'm cautiously optimistic but as somebody just stated, there are few with his upside.
$2 in my $400 budget league last weekend.Three $ auctions I know of - $9, $8 and $8 on a $200 budget.
Again... I'm begging someone to explain this angle to me.not struggling to lose weight.
Can't believe you're arguing this when the coach said a week or so ago that Josh himself knew he needs to lose weight.Again... I'm begging someone to explain this angle to me.
Within ONE WEEK, he went from "fat" to lean, fast, strong and looking like he's in midseason form???
You guys really buy this fat story? Have you looked at him?
Hue Jackson said the same thing about Coleman in rookie mini-camp directly after the draft.Can't believe you're arguing this when the coach said a week or so ago that Josh himself knew he needs to lose weight.
And it was "Fast, long, tall, big, can catch, all those good things. He’s done a good job."

You've never seen my wife reach for the last pizza slice.Fast and fat cannot coexist
That's more than I expected actually but still a good value, has to be, especially if Griffin keeps up the good performances.buck naked said:Three $ auctions I know of - $9, $8 and $8 on a $200 budget.
Best post in the entire thread! Well done, sir.DropKick said:You've never seen my wife reach for the last pizza slice.
Josh Gordon getting 1st team reps and Joe Haden says 'he looks the exact same'
... Jackson is giving him valuable starting reps.
"What's important is that I don't really know him yet as a football player,'' said Jackson. "I'm learning and I need to see what he's able to do. He's talented, obviously. The more I can see him and feel him before because he'll be away and not able to do that, the more I can understand when he gets back and he can hit the ground running the right way.''
Jackson indicated that Gordon will play a big role when he gets back...
... "He still looks the exact same and it's just crazy,'' cornerback Joe Haden said. "He looks a little bigger. I don't know how that happened, but he's still out there running around, looking the same, running his routes, floating. It still looks effortless.''
So you're about 10 steps behind Soulfly.I'm beginning to get excited
About 352 steps behind Soulfly I'll catch up!So you're about 10 steps behind Soulfly.
In a 12 team initial dynasty auction 2 weeks ago, I got him for $18 on a $500 budget.That's more than I expected actually but still a good value, has to be, especially if Griffin keeps up the good performances.
Bell has positional scarcity in his favor (on top of one less game missed). There's a ton of productive WRs.If Le'veon is a 1/2 rnd pick being out 3 games, gordon is a 4/5 easy, imo.
Im gonna have to reach
Agree, to a degree.Bell has positional scarcity in his favor (on top of one less game missed). There's a ton of productive WRs.
otis wants a piece of fly's schtick.Nobody with this kind of upside.
I like to play to win.
I think he's going to take a lot of things away from Coleman...Looks like Soulfly may have his revenge after all. NOW, he has to stay CLEAN. Until it is legalized. I sold him for a 2017 1st but I don't regret it. Even if he blows the top off the thing, I just dont want to deal with the headache. But by no means am I hating on him. Hopefully he has things figured out. And he takes the coverage away from my man Corey Coleman!
he caught a ball after running the route incorrectly while not being defended.I just came.
