Quote:well at least now you have a TE who can block. won't be much of a receiving threat but thats ok because your offense is loaded with weapons like 33 year old andre johnson and deandre hopkins who had 2 TDs in 16 games and...................oh yeah mike thomas who got cut from 4 different teams in like a year.
regardless, you are very confident in your team. lets make some sort of wager like i said, the jaguars will have a better record than your powerhouse team.
what say you?
I'll say this.. It's obvious you don't have a clue of what you're talking about, because Mike Thomas was signed to be a #5 receiver and the Texans aren't even counting on him to be a starter. Deveir Posey plays ahead of him.. And just because C.J. Fiedorowicz can block doesn't mean he can't catch. I said he was the best all around TE. He can block and catch.. he was the biggest receiving threat on his team.
And what kind of wager is that? It's not a wager if there isn't any stakes.
Quote:When did I say I expect win to play like that until he's 40?
I expect him to have another 1,000+ yard season next year and expect a rookie that put up 800+ yards (which is great for a rookie) to grow.
He won't put up another 1000 yard season this year. Thats my guess.
I think you've seen the last of 1000 yard seasons from AJ.
Quote:. I think the Texans will be much better but not quite back to their 2012 form.. what do you think of Fitzpatrick and Savage? I do think your defense might very well be top 5 again.
Fitzpatrick was just signed to offer knowledge and give a veteran presence and be a bridge until we hand the keys over to the next guy. Savage has as much talent as anyone who was selected in this draft, but he lacks the experience to start out of the gate.
So the defense is going to have to carry this team in the meantime, but that defense is loaded so we won't have to score many points.

That's a crappy guess.. You're dreaming or hopefully thinking
When David Carr was running out of bounds behind the line of scrimmage, eating grass like it was his job as he got the crap beat out of him, and was captain check down to Domanick Davis.. Andre Johnson was still raking in 1,000 plus seasons.
Even when our QB position was wrecked last season.. Andre Johnson still managed to have one of the best years in his career.
Health remaining.. Andre Johnson is going to get 80+ catches and a 1,000+ yards.. that's just what he does.

should be a pretty competitive division.

I'd would have to agree.
you name the stakes, trindon. As long as its reasonable, I'm down.

A avatar bet for the entire following season.. (2015 season)
that's a deal. Anything of our choosing (that wont get us banned) and strictly whoever has the better record. If its a tie, then its a wash.

I normally wait until the season starts to get on yall's board, but this got to be a little to much.
I seem to remember someone on this very forum (and you know who you are)said AFTER the season had ended last year,that AJ had a bad season......turns out to be one of his best.
You might want to wait before declaring him done for. Yeah he's getting older,but he's still better than 90% of the receivers out there.

I could still certainly see him putting up a 1,000+ although your QB situation still worries me a bit. Maybe you'll have a season similar to the Chiefs but I'm not sure that many wins.

Nostradamus? You only state such nonsense because of the Texans QB situation. If Johnson was on the Patriots, Packers, Broncos, or even the Chargers, you wouldn't consider questioning age as a factor into Andre's ability to break 1,000 yards this coming season.
On a pass first team, with a good Quarterback, Johnson would break 1,500 easy. You know this to be true, but then you would have to admit it isn't about Johnson's age.
Johnson needs to be on the field in order to break 1000. His opting out of voluntarys bothers me a bit.
Love me some AJ, but I don't think he breaks 1000 this season. OB will concentrate on utilizing Deandre Hopkins more to save AJ's legs. With our current crop of QB's, I think we will concentrate on ground 'n pound coupled with dink/dunk ball control passes to marry with what might be very stout defense. If we spread the ball in the short yardage pass game and utilize the power run, Andre will not see 1000. My opinion only.

What does A.J. opting out of a "voluntary" workouts have to do with anything?
We played the type of offense you just described throughout the entire Carr era and Andre still had 1,000 yards receiving.
The guy isn't going to go from 1,400+ yards to under 1,000 unless he has health issues. If he lines up and is healthy, Andre is going to get his.
I did say "my opinion only", but chances are, I'm right. And yea, at Andres age, injury could very we'll limit his production. Chances he gets injured are exponentially higher then him not getting injured.

Chances are you'll be wrong.. just going by Andre's track record here, the odds aren't in your favor.
So you're weighing his ability on getting 1,000 yards on "being injured" That's why I said if he remains healthy... and if he does remain healthy he's going to get 1,000 + yards. I'll take my chances on that.

Nah, Trindon makes it seem like Andre is the bionic man and will be putting up 1000 yard seasons until he's 50.

Andre's days of being a 1000 yard season are numbered. I'd be surprised if he amassed that amount this season.

No what I typed is was that if healthy, he'll have another 1,000 yard + season next year. I'm not clueless or a [BLEEP] who credits what people type on a fan message board as a reliable source. So no, I don't think he's going to pull down 1,000 yard seasons until he's 50.
But he still has a couple more left in him.
