What is your opinion on Josh Gordon's value now that JFF is starting? If this has been covered I apologize, I dont always check this board.

Nobody knows becuse Manziel has played about 9 snaps this year.

That said, it cant be worse than it was with Hoyer.

Can't be worse. Manziel looked decent in his limited snaps a couple weeks ago.

It can always be worse.

OP, I'd be hesitant starting him this week. Mobile QBs tend to rely in their feet. If JG isn't open in the first second or so, I don't think he'll get a lot if targets. My 02

I dont think I will start him this week. I already have OBJ, Mike Evans, Maclin and alshon so it's hard enough picking between those 4. If Gordon blows up it will be a nice option to have heading into the title game or 3rd place game.

I personally think it will be better. At Texas A&M, he gave his best WR (Mike Evans) plenty of opportunities on jump balls.

josh Gordon can only be weedenized, campbellized, hoyerized, JFFized so many times

he's a freak with a big game coming

I am hoping the tendency for a rookie is to rely on that one guy...and I'm hoping that guy is Gordon

Has anyone said that it can't be worse than Hoyer yet?

Can't be any worse....

You honestly think Johnny Manziel gives a flying frick about Travis Benjamin, Taylor Gabriel and Andrew Hawkins....well maybe he does about Hawkins, but JFF will target Gordon all day.

The way Hoyer has been playing the last few weeks makes Jason Campbell and Brandon Weeden look like fricking John Elway and Peyton Manning

Here is why I think they wont start being fantasy relevant until a few more games, or better yet, next season. You have a coaching staff that has been so stubborn and played the lesser talented guy of the two, then we assume that since JFF is in, they're going to throw it 35+ times? That coaching staff has done everything in its power to not let JFF be himself. I expect a run first with short little passes. If its anything more than this, Ill be back to eat crow (might have to remind me). LSU played him well both times and managed to contain him. If I recall, his passing wasnt that effective, and that was after plenty of hours of practice with Evans and company. Im sorry, but I just dont think he's going to come in and throw alot. I'm picturing RG3 from a few years ago. Runs well, but no WR on that team got more than 5-7 targets

what happened to all the jet sweeps and creative ways to get the ball to Gordon? I saw a couple in his first game back but nothing since

It's like Pettine hates the attention being all on Gordon.

I really think he does... I think he didn't get a lot of attention as a child and if anyone around him gets attention, he shuts em down.

All jokes aside, he's a weird coach.

Crowell playing well, West fumbling......West gets bitched out entire week

So who starts at RB? Yep...West

If he spent half as much time trying to teach people lessons as he did trying to win games, Cleveland would have already locked up a playoff spot

For Gordon's sake, I hope Cleveland loses out and Pettine is fired. Just bring me in a coach who loves to throw the rock

The same coaching staff that was retarded enough to pull OurLord&Savior, who is so obviously the best player on the team, on third downs because he was playing too much. Seriously how fricking dumb is that?

The guy is definitely a bit strange with his logics. Stranger than ol' Bill Belichek
