But how can you call something a mistake when it clearly didn't harm the team? Yes, Gordon isn't a perfect player. I am aware. However, to assert that it was a mistake to sign him is to say that the team was appreciably worse off with him than without him and I feel there is no evidence to make that case.

Same with this AB deal. If it doesn't work out, it will likely not have any real appreciable negative impact on the team. If it does work out, it will likely have a hugely positive impact on the team. That is generally what you would call a good gamble.

He is wasting the Patriots time and resources. 

Are you joking? The Patriots aren't a small high school team with like one WR coach who has to chose who to focus on. They've got the staff size to handle everyone. What resources could they possibly be wasting here? Money? He's got a cap hit of $2 million, literally 1/100th of the current cap. For that price, he's easily worth ten good games.
