You're going to be. I don't understand the immense fascination with Josh Gordon. Well I do actually.

Josh Gordon captures the imagination. Josh Gordon is an empty vessel for which you can project a best case scenario free square wide receiver parachuting in at the start of the fantasy football playoffs.

That's why the conversations on football Twitter are not dominated by Ezekiel Elliot

Talk or Jayagai talk or Kelvin Benjamin and

Devon Funchus talk or Jimmy Garopolo talk no none of those it's all about

Josh Gordon he is dominating the conversation sphere despite not playing football since 2014. It's now 2017.

Do you remember where you were in 2014? Were you living in the same house you're living in now?

Many of you have children that weren't born the last time Josh Gordon played football. Think about that and the

last year he played football 2014 he didn't even play well. In the five games he played he was number two in the NFL in target

share 32 percent and yet only 303 receiving yards a negative 26.5

production premium which looks at Josh Gordon's per target output on any given down and distance against league average

Essentially measuring what Josh Gordon was producing on a per opportunity basis above or below expectation outside

the top 90, then target premium, negative 22.6 percent means that comparing Josh Gordon's per target output to the other receivers in the Brown's passing game, he was underperforming that cohort by greater than 20%.

So the last time Josh Gordon had an opportunity to perform at the highest level in his profession,

he failed, and he failed spectacularly.

He was less efficient than 2017 Amari Cooper.

Ha ha, think about that!

So that's the first place I go when I think about Josh Gordon.

I don't always default back to 2013. I don't just jump in the time machine, set the dial to 2013 and whoosh, because that's practicing confirmation bias, just returning to the moment that Josh Gordon made you feel good and ignoring the

times he made you feel bad when you started him in 2014 and he underperformed expectations.

No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to think about that.

Josh Gordon is an empty vessel.
