He wasnt talking about Josh Gordon with those statements, he was talking about every single player that has ever failed a drug test due to pot. If you are going to make generalizations about one thing, you cant pick and choose who it applies to. If he means we should keep all of our pot smokers (TW, Breeland, etc) but not take on anyone elses, then he should have said that.

Sweeping generalizations are a bitch. Dont make them if you arent going to back them.

Yes. Anyone who uses pot during a time when their employer says we are going to test for pot during this time of the year, but not another time of the year is an idiot.

TW was an idiot of failing a test for pot.

He also bounced back and has been the ultimate team guy and has gone from a quiet guy in the locker room to a team leader who sets an example for everyone around him to follow by giving maximum effort and playing hurt.

Gordon is a whole different situation:

3rd substance abuse incident in the NFL, and a history of pot infractions in college.

People believe in 2nd chances, maybe even third depending on maturity and the nature of the bad act, but when a dude can't put down a bottle of liquor or a joint for millions of dollars he is not worth a look from the team.

Some might say comparing him to TW is like apples and broccoli.
