Jet Nut Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is stepping away from football because of mental health issues. The issues with this guy continue.

mrcoops Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Brady made a move on him, and Josh rebuffed him. Pats* spiked his Gatorade to create a diversion / cover story. Good luck, Josh. You are better off getting away from that toxic atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't want to speculate that, hoping it wasn't the case but given his history you had to at least strongly consider the possibility. Shame, by all accounts a good guy and the talent is obvious.

Nixhead Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This one hurts the Pats - he took up a lot of reps and game time that could of been going to a receiver that will be wth them for the playoffs. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 If he made this decision in his own than I have a lot of respect for him. It is a shame the kid is super talented but could never seem to get his life together. A lot of talented players seem to have these problems Justin Blackmon was another wr with endless potential but suffered from similar issues.Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price of a 5th rounder (with a 7th coming back), NE received 40 catches, 720 yards and 3 TDs in 11 games from Gordon.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) December 20, 2018 Either I don't get the tweet or that is weird. Anyway, considering the midseason trade those numbers are better than the Jets WR's! Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 in Green Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 This is sad. The man is so talented, and had the chance for a wonderful career. He could’ve made enough money to change his family’s lives for generations. His lack of self discipline/ addictions threw it all away. I wish the best for him, but it’s a battle he has to want to win. Nobody else can fight it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmat321 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Hey Bill - we got a 21 yr old qb with tons of potential, a top 5 pick and $100 + mil of CAP space. We even have this weird unshaven guy with glasses who snorts coffee grains all day. I’m sure he’d be more than happy to wash your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 He's walking away to work on things - before the league tosses him - and they will - possibly forever. Too bad the kid couldn't get his act together - he's a major talent. That said - this additional dishevelment thrust on the now crumbling cheating pieces of sh_t known as the Patriots is delightful.

I’m not sure how those two things are related but I hope your son in law gets the help he needs. Josh Gordon needs to focus on fixing Josh Gordon. I hope he has the proper support structure to help him do it . Oh yeah! F-U Pats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJoTownsell1 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I still have no idea why the NFL feels like it needs to police it's own players for non performance enhancing drugs. Marijuana is legal, in one form or another, almost everywhere (if not legal the police look the other way). Bankers/Judges/Politicians can use as much pot as they want but not an NFL player who gets repeatedly injured throughout the year and many times suffer from mental issues. If a players gets arrested for illegally using marijuana and you want to suspend him for that, sure, but there is no reason to test for it.

You work for any big company, they have rules, and you have to follow them. You can work for the NFL, make millions of dollars, and can't do certain illegal activities, which they will test for. You know it in advance, so if you (the player) can't follow the rules you were informed of, too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 My prediction of Bellichek to the jets next year is getting closer by the day. A good performance by Darnold in NE and the pats getting bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs and this will be reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckkieB Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'm not one to kick a man when he's down, especially when Josh obviously has a disease and many demons that he's yet to overcome, but..........screw the Patriots all the way to hell and back!
