Josh Gordon in his prime could arguably be one of the greatest deep route contested catching receivers of all time

[@SurgingSpecs]

And this was the best moment Chad Henne would have against the Cleveland Browns in his career. Yep. Can’t think of anything else.

[@The_Handsom_Italian]

It is. Because all he did for the chiefs was throw a few 1st downs to 2 with one of the best pass catching corps in the NFL but after that superbowl ass whooping I have to admit the chiefs might have been better off if henne was the QB instead of mahomes.

[@bk7064]

@Ryan Irwin- Diehl Not at all. The Chiefs were barely up in the first place by the time Mahomes was hurt.

[@joshallen7620]

U mean chad Johnson

[@TheJohnharple]

The fact that he did this with Brandon Weeden is basically the greatest achievement in the history of football. The crazy thing is that with a competent qb he would probably have had a 2000 yard season.

[@casualnerd4615]

Dude if he played all 16 games he probably would have had. 2K yard season

Josh Gordon is one of the more sad stories in recent times. The guy had so many chances to redeem himself yet he was more interested in lighting up the doobie. That said, the policy regarding weed is backwards as hell as was the US' enforcement of laws against weed usage. Nonetheless Gordon had the kind of talent that could've seen him as a near HOF type. One can say a lot of things about the guy but you can't deny he had talent that few players could ever dream of having.

[@jimbrown5743]

It was more then weed

[@pantherteen1997]

Agreed, but since the NFL changed the drug policy, they didn’t allow him to come back. I do hope and pray he’ll come back stronger

[@heavyizthacrown-5842]

Congrats Cleveland, you guys suffered through it. I’m curious: is Baker Mayfield the QB *YOU* would’ve chosen to lead the team? Or maybe someone else…if I’m a Cleveland fan, I think you give Baker two seasons MAX to get that Browns team deep into the playoffs! Lamar already has an MVP award, Baker has to battle and make Cleveland a winner! (IMO)

HeavyIzThaCrown - we aren’t a playoff team without baker. He is our guy. He took over an 0-16 team and took them to and got a win in the playoffs in 3 seasons. We live or die with baker... what is the alternative? Our roster is ready to win NOW.

[@irishspagetti6565]

I remember us fans were just happy to play close games against good teams even tho we knew browns would find a way to blow it, I'm glad browns have gotten out of football hell

[@adcparker]

This is the first Browns game I was ever able to attend in my life, and of course, Brandon Weeden and Chad Henne had to spoil it for me. Here's to hoping that when I go the Cardinals vs Browns game this season it won't end in defeat for CLE.

In the early days of FanDuel, Josh Gordon printed me some money this day.

[@johnnytyler5685]

Josh Gordon had the skills and the physical gifts to become one of the greatest wide receivers in NFL history. It's hard to say he could've been better than Rice because a big part of Rice's legacy is his longevity, and we have no idea if Gordon could've played at a high level for 20 years. But as far as pure receiving skill, I think Josh Gordon was as good as anybody to ever play in the NFL...and that includes Jerry Rice. That is what makes Josh Gordon's career so unbelievably sad. He absolutely threw away a HOF career AT THE MINIMUM! All because he liked drugs more than he liked money. Josh Gordon easily would've made $100,000,000+ over the course of his career if he had stayed sober...then he could've spent the rest of his life smoking and shooting that $100,000,000 away in the comfort of a huge mansion. Instead he torpedoed his career so quickly that I doubt he even made 1/10th of $100,000,000. I know that there were several pro athletes who died young and never reached their full potential, but Josh Gordon is absolutely one of the most egregious cases of wasted potential in the entire history of pro sports. His NFL career is now over as he's been permanently banned from the league for his 5,000 different failed drug tests. He's been relegated to playing for the "Zappers" in the Fan Controlled Football League.

[@0ptimal]

And the story continues.. lol. 33rd times the charm? Hopefully.

[@johnnytyler5685]

@@0ptimal Frankly, I find it disgusting that the NFL has even let the dude back in again. I believe in second chances for MOST things (not VIOLENT crimes), and that includes getting fired from your job for using drugs...especially when the drug use doesn't seem to affect your performance one bit. But this has got to be like Josh Gordon's 57th chance at this point. It's beyond ridiculous. I know how tough drug addiction can be (especially because I am almost certain that with Josh Gordon, we are NOT just talking about "weed"), but Gordon had access to the best treatment centers on Earth when he was in the NFL. As a Browns fan, I KNOW that the organization did everything they possibly could to try and help him...and he rejected that help and abused that trust EVERY SINGLE TIME! He shouldn't be rewarded anymore.

[@youngblood4127]

He was in that T.O. Julio Jones realm. With some noticeable shades of Calvin Johnson. And when I say this I mean physique, WR style of play and overall peak performance. A shame that he couldn’t have finished out the season for the patriots in 2018-2019.

[@Manny-nm8dh]

He got over 261 on a game and probably was fully sedated. Some players should be allowed to play that way if it shows no effect on their game.

[@TheodoreBrosevelt]

It’s hard enough to get them to stop testing for it now you want to make it a harder and dumber process by selectively choosing who plays high. Makes no sense even to a high person.

I think something about being under the influence made Josh play at a higher level. Substance can take away fear, doubt, and put some people in a mental state that maybe they can't get to naturally. That said, I still think he's got some of this talent left, just needs these types of targets. He was used and trusted heavily. Which would require the coaches and qb to see the potential. If Mahomes makes a good on the field connection w Josh, we could see something. I'm hoping.
