Andre Johnson asks to be cut or traded

[BullsColtsFan1]

I think Andre wants to get some revenge!  Houston has only beat Indy a hand ful of times in 12 years. I don't see them beating the Colts until they get a franchise QB

[Qwiz]

Sure thing. Seems I've been hearing that for years

You had to wait a whole day before you could deliver another one of your stupid one liners. You would've looked even sillier then usual if Andre had signed with the Chargers instead.

But he didn't. I guess your close personal relationship with him steered you the wrong way. He took less money than the chargers offered him to sign here.

What close personal relationship? Enjoy overpaying that old, used pick-up truck lol. He isn't going to be nearly what the Colts need to get propelled to the Super Bowl.

7 million a year for a guy that had 85 catches from garbage qbs? Yeah, that's not overpaying.

[dw49]

Yeah I just read that a few minutes ago hah. Swearinger is terrible and Clowney just can't catch a break, on the field and off of it lol! We're going to have to make him the bubble boy.

 

 

Where did you get bitten ?

[Qwiz]

7 million a year for a guy that had 85 catches from garbage qbs? Yeah, that's not overpaying.

Yeah, overpayed. He'll probably be hurt or something by the time we play each other anyway.

[Qwiz]

?

[jvan1973]

Yeah, overpayed. He'll probably be hurt or something by the time we play each other anyway.

Yeah, cause he misses tons of games huh?

[Qwiz]

Yeah, cause he misses tons of games huh?

Did I say that?

[dw49]

?

Meant to say where did "he " get bitten

[jvan1973]

Did I say that?

He will be motivated to show O'Brien he can still be a heavy contributor

[Qwiz]

Meant to say where did "he " get bitten

Somewhere in Pearland, probably at Swear's house.

[jvan1973]

Somewhere in Pearland, probably at Swear's house.

I'm guessing he means what part of his body

[Qwiz]

He will be motivated to show O'Brien he can still be a heavy contributor

And the entire Texans team is going to be motivated to show him what happens when you sign with a hated nemesis.

With hoyer? Good luck

[Qwiz]

Ahh..it was his arm. Barely broke the skin apparently.

[Qwiz]

With hoyer? Good luck

With Hoyer or Mallett, along with Hopkins, Foster, Watt, Clowney, KJax, and whoever else we acquire through free agency and the Draft.

[dw49]

Ahh..it was his arm. Barely broke the skin apparently.

 

 

That's good to hear. Many places I can think of more painful than the arm. Maybe his luck is changing ?

[Qwiz]

That's good to hear. Many places I can think of more painful than the arm. Maybe his luck is changing ?

Yeah, I guess we can say that since he didn't contract rabies or anything lol.

[Moose Of Woe]

YOINK!

 

Andre was outstanding with nobodies throwing to him. Can't wait to see how he and Luck do together.

[Superman]

And the entire Texans team is going to be motivated to show him what happens when you sign with a hated nemesis.

 

 

Hey, I get it. But you have to know that this is good for us, and bad for you. Sorry Qwiz. If the Texans had signed Reggie in 2012, I'd be irritated. But your guys pushed him off the truck, we just scooped him up.

A better comparison would be Peyton Manning going to play for the Patriots (assuming Brady retired or was traded in 2012). That's the level that this situation is on. I honestly wouldn't have even commented on anything today if not for the guy who loves baiting me and trying to get reactions. I wish I could say that I'm happy for Andre but it would be a lie. Depending on how all this goes, I think I will still look forward to the day when he retires in the jersey he was meant to retire in.

He's a Texan. We're renting him. I'm sure the organization will do the right thing when he hangs it up.

 

I don't think AJ to the Colts rises to the level that Manning to the Pats would have, but like I said, I get it.

I don't think Andre has anywhere near the level of play left in him right now as Reggie had in 2012.

[SouthernCal]

I don't think Andre has anywhere near the level of play left in him right now as Reggie had in 2012.

Then why did the colts sign him?

[amfootball]

Then why did the colts sign him?

I have no idea. It was not a position of need that's for sure. Someone to go over the middle, yeah. But outside WR? no.

[Superman]

I don't think Andre has anywhere near the level of play left in him right now as Reggie had in 2012.

 

Based on what?

 

WR A: 33 years old, 85 catches, 936 yards, 3 TDs

WR B: 33 years old, 75 catches, 960 yards, 4 TDs

You're crazy. Andre still has some left in the tank, it was a good signing. Believe it or not, the Colts did need a WR.

[amfootball]

Based on what?

Reggie had a career year in 2012, was MVP of that team helping to bring Luck along in his rookie year and a post-season birth. Do you really expect that type of production out of Johnson?

Yea

Reggie had a career year in 2012? What exactly do you mean? He had a great year, yes, but wasn't his best year as far as production goes.

 

2004: 1210yds and 12tds

2005: 1055yds and 5tds

2006: 1310yds and 9tds

2007: 1510yds and 6tds

2008: 1145yds and 6tds

2009: 1264yds and 10tds

2010: 1355yds and 6tds

2012: 1355yds and 5tds

 

Those were all solid years

[jvan1973]

he had 85 catches and over 900 yards with terrible qb play. He will catch a lot of balls next year. It will be the first season in his career where he isn't the go to guy. He won't see many double teams. And to your other point, we was a need.

[Qwiz]

Yea

Andre's career years are behind him. The Colts should get some possession catches/production but he isn't the monster he used to be.

[Superman]

You probably missed my edit. Point was that Reggie in 2011 and AJ in 2014 were pretty much identical, statistically speaking. And the same age. If Reggie could break out in 2012, no reason AJ can't. 

 

And he can play the same slot/move position that Reggie did. Kubiak moved him around a lot more than he moved last year. 

 

I don't expect the same level of production from him as we got from Reggie. We have other weapons, and hopefully a better run game, compared to 2012. But a veteran receiver who will have an impact is huge for us. It's really like replacing Reggie, or as close as we could get.

He wasn't the go-to guy last season either.

Sure, maybe. I just don't see Johnson in the same league as Reggie as a receiver. Reggie is one of the greatest of all time. Andre has been great but not Reggie-great. lol.

[jvan1973]

Is that why he led the team in catches?

When I said career year. I meant one of his career years but I would put 2012 as his very best even if the stats are not his best because he did it with a rookie QB.

So do you like this signing ? It's another old dude but he did give V Davis fits...
