Quote:I'll trust the coaches to develop our young talent. Andre Johnson would cost this team a lot more young talent that this team still needs, and I can't see this team being competitive at least until 2015.

 

And what are you talking about rarely being hurt? He played a full sixteen games last year but his effectiveness was clearly down and he played with injuries most of the season. He's not the guy he was 5 years ago.

 

Given his age and significant injury history of late he won't be worth the high pick(s) he'll cost.

agreed, but i can't say without speculation that his effectivness last year was because of him fighting through injury or the qb performances that came from that team last year... the main difference between the texan who went to the playoffs two years ago and the 2-11 team from last year came from the QB position and the lack of foster... no question he isnt the guy he was 5 years ago, but he is still a top 10 receiver in the league, maybe even top 5 if he has some consistency from a QB.... like you, i also have alot of faith in jerry sulivan and i think we have just givin him the molds to create some truely great WR's... but the jury is still out on the guys who are rookies until we see what they do in this league. 

 

but i do agree we are 2 years out from any post season pushes, which i believe is the main reason he will never wear a jag jersey.
