Lamardirts 2,114 Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Not sure how excited to be yet. Seems really fast to elevate a player in Josh’s predicament so quickly. Has to be something good happening in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s excited being on a SB team without the psychopathic restraints and orders that was the NE dynasty. Reid is a laidback boss. Let’s the players get the job done themselves. Lest we forget Reid has serious experience with drug users. Hoping these two connect well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I think it's funny that there is a headline out there that says, "Can Josh Gordon kickstart the Chiefs offense?" We are #2 offense right now. Top 10 in rushing at over 5 yards a pop. Mahomes comfortably leads in TD passes. So...didn't know the offense needed it but okay. mex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he's less judgmental than some if the posters here. You'd think the guy had done time for murder. Or that some people had never been close to someone who battled drug or alcohol addiction. We aren't bad people trying to become good people. We are sick people trying to get well. DieHard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just going to mention that, but didn't see you comment. I forgot how good and funny those old cartoons were. On the subject of Gordon. I really hope he works out, but I'm worried about him more as a person than what he can do for the Chiefs. He just seems to keep falling back, and I don't recall too many athletes that slipped up that many times, ever overcoming it. Hope he can.

Maybe what's happening in practice is that Gordon, even at low level and limited play book, looks better than Robinson or Kemp They aren't being used so if JG isn't up to speed, it's not a big loss.

It’s not hard to look better than kemp or Robinson at WR. how many special teams access do we need to keep every year? Kemp needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never goes away. It can only be kept in remission, and that requires daily work, possibly more work than can be done by an active NFL player. Plus players are under great competitive stress and often chronic pain. I also share your worry about him as a person. Jokes are great, because they are jokes, but addictive disease is no joke for the afflicted, whether it is the addicted person or those around them. Whenever he does relapse, and he will, we should be sympathetic, not judgemental. Iluvhouse24, Joe_Chief and oldtimer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon may have found his bottom and had enough. With the right steps there's hope for any one of us to recover. You are right though. There's a lot of people who don't understand its a disease and think it's just people who are weak minded. They don't understand drugs and alcohol affect certain people differently. I can't explain to my wife why I literally cannot stop when I start. It just affects me differently. So I no longer start. oldtimer, Burpo The Mad Clown and azchief21 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qnet 1,150 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Good points made about Gordon's addition. I just recently read about him on Wikipedia (I know that's not the most reliable source at times). I was so focused on him being a Watkins replacement, and possibly more, It didn't really sink in with me how bad a problem he had/has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefmanzada 466 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 If there’s a situation to get things right it’s with Mahomes Kelce Hill and most importantly Reid. He’s in the best hands he’s got in the NFL. Chiefs always break the lockerroom with “Family” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
