My Josh Gordon Write-Up (I thought this would be a refreshing topic)

The 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft will be held this Thursday at 1:00 P.M. and like every year there is at least one prospect that draws some attention from NFL scouts.

This year that prospect is 6'3, 220 pound, wide receiver Josh "Flash" Gordon. Gordon is a tall and speedy wide out who stretches the field similar to former Baylor Bear wide receiver turned Carolina Panther, David Gettis.

Gordon's 40 time has been clocked in the low 4.3's and with speed like that he compares to former Georgia Tech wide receiver Stephen Hill who was taken in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. The difference between Hill and Gordon is that Gordon is much more polished and not nearly as raw as Hill.

Gordon was set to play for the Utah Utes after transferring from Baylor in 2010. However, Gordon decided to forgo his senior year at Utah and enter the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft.

In the 2010-2011 College Football Season, Josh "Flash" Gordon recorded 42 receptions for 714 yards (17.0 average) and 7 touchdowns including a 94 yarder against Kansas that really displays his overall speed (see below).

My Josh Gordon Write-Up (I thought this would be a refreshing topic)

The downside is "Flash" Gordon's immaturity and insecurity. Gordon has been cited for two marijuana related incidents and one credit/debit card related arrest which required Gordon to pay a $2,000 bond. Gordon was was benched once for the first quarter of a Baylor game, suspended from the team a second time, and then suspended indefinitely for violating team rules.

Utah decided to give Josh a second chance, but after sitting out the 2011-2012 season to comply with NCAA rules of a transfer, "Flash" Gordon has decided to enter the 2012 NFL Supplemental draft

No thanks.

I read something, somewhere (yes I understand this is very here-say) that we would be a good FIT for him, which just meant the writer had no real knowledge of the Panthers situation, just couldn't name a receiver outside Steve Smith. Highly doubt we'd get him, unless it was for an absolute bargain, and Hurney and co. aren't confident in Gettis' knee at all.

Lol, I see where you are coming from; but I tend to refrain from the "once a dumb-poo, always a dumb-poo" mentality" because that can sometimes limit who you will and will not look at for your franchise.

Character is something that is highly important to me but I also look heavily into the talent and back ground of a player. Talent wise, there may be none better than Gordon in the 2012 NFL Draft. Baylor officials actually came out and said that they preferred Gordon over Kendall Wright during each of their tenure's at Baylor.

One thing to note is that Gordon was arrested along with another Baylor student-athlete, this tends to indicate to me that it could simply be a case of being involved with the wrong crowd.

The only thing I will actually have a problem with is people that were for Janoris Jenkins being against Josh Gordon.

Why would we need to spend a draft pick on another receiver???? Particularly one with issues????

Seriously???? What is the likelihood that he would even make the team.

He is a pretty big guy with speed. People fawn over these types. Nothing new, nothing to see, keep it moving.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
