Browns asking for 2nd round pick for Gordon

[DawgzLife]

No, he has.  He one blown test from a 1 year suspension which is what makes him available and dangerous to trade for.

 

He's talented, but I don't know that our lovable little dumpster fire is the best place for him to straighten things out.

 

What an apt metaphor for our team culture this year!  :ph34r:

[Panthro]

Im sure there is a guard in left dakota state we can use it on

 

BRING IN GORDON!

[SauceBoss]

alot of these fans are just as cheap as JR. "I'll take him but for vet min" or "send them a 7th rounder in 2017 for an immediate improvement even though our history of drafting receivers is horrible"

[SauceBoss]

give up a draft pick for someone that's proven and has historically had a crap QB or aim for Dwayne Jarrett or Armani 2.0? HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?

[Panthro]

Draft a tackle in the 1st.....bring in Gordon a #1 WR....

 

Holy damn hell it makes sense

[Coug Girl]

If we had a hard nosed coach who would put Gordon in his place, tell him to grow up and straighten out then I would be more willing to take the risk for a pick after the 2nd round. But, I don't like him with this coach and our current locker room

[nickzz]

How has Gordon proven to be a #1 WR again?

 

50 catches, 800 yds, and 5 TDs is the new #1 WR standard?

 

as a rookie? yes

for the browns? even more so.

 

take a gander at julio jones' rookie stats with MATT RYAN (who is > weeden, if you were wondering)

 

i'm not saying we should do it, but don't discredit gordon. he's a stud.

 

unfortunately i don't think our franchise is in a place where we can facilitate this type of thing.

-we lack the coaching and overall organizational discipline (see: pats) for a player like gordon

-we need the draft picks, especially considering ours will most likely be an early 2nd

[top dawg]

Yeah, that's it.  Thanks!

 

So is my memory failing me again in that he served an NFL suspension?

 

Yeah, Britt was suspended for off-field issues in 2012, as well as fined a time or two before I believe. 

 

Some people may want to put Gordon and Britt in the same basket, but Gordon just seems more serious about his career in my opinion. Of course he came to the NFL when he did because he apparently didn't wanna stop smoking pot in college. As far as this year's two-game suspension, he drank cough syrup with some codeine while trying to recover from strep throat. Seems like a humble kid trying not to mess his career up though, but (of course) giving up a second is still a somewhat risky proposition.

 

Seeing what I've seen of this kid though, I'd do it.

[Wanderlai]

Well if GMan wants to try and save the season and show he is trying to help Cam, then you make the trade. I'd try and negotiate it down to a 3rd though. I still don't think GMan sees Cam as a franchise QB.

[mbarbour21]

our second-rounder is likely to be damn close to a late first-rounder that could be used for a very good offensive lineman or corner.

no thanks.

Not with our 6 game win streak (when it doesn't matter) at the end of the year. Haha!

[ctrcat]

Gordon is a freak, a legit #1 talent. I'd do it but we are not so not gonna give it more thought.

[Ivan The Awesome]

That 2nd round pick doesn't have to be this coming years, does it? It could be say 2015 right?

[csx]

Michael Irvin had issues too.

When the league didnt give a poo. Now stupid actions hurt the team.

Pretty much this. Different times.  After the first two times Irvin got tackled and sprayed cocaine all over the field like some fuged up pinata/squid he'd be banned.
