They're not going to be sending Gordon on a slew of double-move and option routes. He's a big body possession receiver with high-point skills at this point in his career.

It should be fairly quick/easy to get him up to speed on running slants in the red zone and/or go routes.

This isn't someone like Maclin who needs to put moves together to get the job done. He's a big man who had good deep speed and body control. If he has any of that left, we can put him to work by week 7 and get something out of him, IMO.

Week 7? We need him for the Bills.

He is 30 now and hasn't played regular football in forever but... whatever I guess?

Couch-Potato 09-27-2021 02:52 PM

Posted this 9/15 in the "Josh Gordan Suspended Again" thread:

"Legalize MJ Federally and force the NFL to pay Josh Gordon reparations for ruining his career over some BS! Josh doesn't seem like an addict but someone using MJ to medicate for mental health reasons, it's a far safer substitute than prescription pills and clearly wasn't affecting his performance. I think it's a ****ing shame the way the NFL has ruined his career and slandered his name."

Happy to see Andy giving him a shot! Guy is only 30 years old! Sure, he's built differently mentally than others, but that shouldn't be our concern. We're a football team and this guys a perfect fit for what we need right now. He can fill the role that Sammy left behind, comes cheap, and has huge upside.

2 things: 1) He has shown intermittent flashes of ability as a WR and seemingly has injuries knock him back just as he was ready to establish himself.

2) Dave Toub gets a few toys on the roster every year.

Item 1 doesn't bother me much but I'm rapidly losing patience with item 2. If Toub is as good a ST coordinator as is claimed, he shouldn't need 10% of the roster allocated specifically to ST players to thrive.

If he elected to leave, yes - in theory.

But if he wanted to leave, he wouldn't have signed here initially. He chose KC for a reason.

It seems more like a move to motivate those who are underperforming at the WR position. Bringing in more competition should send a message to DRob, Pringle, etc.

Marijuana is his drug of choice but he has had a problem and used plenty of other drugs (including PEDs - his last suspension).

So stop acting like because weed is legal Gordon isn't a risk for a relapse because he definitely is. Hopefully this time he stays clean though. It's certainly possible.

I'm not sure why people are calling this a desperation move I've read a lot of posts stating we need a number 2 receiver. Veach tried to sign several receivers in the off season to be number 2. As so many have put it this is a low cost high reward signing.

DRM08 09-27-2021 03:02 PM

If Brady can do this with Antonio Brown, so can Mahomes/KC with Gordon. You gotta give Veach credit for at least trying to fix various problems with the roster.

That's a little different. Gordon is an addict, AB is just an asshole. Plus, Brady actually tried to help Gordon stay clean when he was with the Patriots and failed so Gordon is clearly a tougher case than AB.

Mahomes provides leadership for our guys but he isn't a drug counselor. End of day Chiefs will do best they can with Gordon but he's going to have to really want this and work hard in his off time to stay clean to make it work.

I get the guy is a physical specimen but, I may be totally wrong here, but playing WR in the Andy Reidcoast Offense requires its receivers to adapt their routes pre-snap based on defensive coverage?

Hasn't that aspect of the Chiefs offense required some time for players to adjust to?

Everyone is basically going, beat us with long methodical drives where you have to lean on your RB and secondary receivers.

Pretty sure they won't wait until he knows 70% of the playbook. That would take too long. Instead, (just WAG-ing here) I think they'll install 6-9 plays for him, all of which will be standard type routes, no options. Maybe one of two option plays, but that's it. If, and that's a big 'if,' JG plays well and seems to be progressing well, Andy will slowly add plays to his mini playbook. By season's end though I doubt he'll play more than 20 snaps/game, because he won't know enough of the playbook.

But what he should be able to pick up quickly is the improv type of plays. He's got the experience for that. If he can give the Chiefs about 90% of Sammy's improv abilities it should be worth it.

Just put him on the field and let him run clear out routes. Work Tyreek underneath and let him go YAC on people. If they keep doubling Tyreek, throw it deep to Flash. Profit.

Should be that easy, right?

RBs and WRs have fundamentally different roles, with different dependencies.

A RB on a shittty blocking team, even if a really good RB, doesn't help a lot because they still have to run through big burly men to produce.

A WR has to get open and catch, and everything in the modern rulebook facilitates that. They aren't dependent on how good the lines are or the defense, or anything other than their skill and their connection with the QB.

He's basically a cheaper Sammy Watkins. Valuable when on the field but could disappear for many games at a minutes notice. I don't see any harm in the signing.

Meantime, maybe puts some urgency in the Chiefs developing a young WR. Hardman and Robinson have a role in this offense. But Kemp and Pringle ain't it. If Cornell powell isn't next in line they need to keep rotating bodies until they find one. Feel like Sunday was a last look at Pringle and he didn't pass the test.

I guess there's some added risk that he actually does produce right away, the Chiefs say holy shit, we've fixed the problem! ...and then he runs into more problems before they really need him, and they can't trade for option B at that point.

But, that assumes there are other decent options out there to choose from and they would actually pull the trigger on those options.... or else, meh, guess we'll see.
