I don't expect him to set the world on fire. There are simple ways to get him involved. It may take longer to incorporate him but Reid is also notoriously slow for introducing new WRs in his offense. Keep in mind Gordon excelled in Brad Childress' offense as a rookie. Way better than some of our receivers after several years in the offense.
I get it if we want to be careful with continuity. But we're talking about receivers game after game making very costly mistakes and being mostly ineffective past the line of scrimmage. Is Gordon that far behind that he can't pass that bar?
