Andre Johnson: "Luck is probably the best QB I've ever played with"

If this is jumping the gun so be it but this combo of Johnson and Luck could be a block buster. Johnson has had so many passes thrown just off the mark to him this could end up a very, very big deal, more so than many are saying. I'm starting to get the meat sweats!!!

Andre Johnson (AJ) has had an awesome career with no real QB. It makes you wonder what type of numbers he would have produced if he had a QB the calibre of Andrew throwing to him for his career. AJ is as good as 99.9% of the wide receivers to have played the game and unlike a guy named Jerry Rice who enjoyed catching balls from Montana, Young and then '02 NFL MVP Rich Gannon), he didn't land a Hall of Fame calibre QB (yeah, I like many Colts fans I imagine think Andrew has HOF potential) until the backend of his career in Luck. Look at his numbers:

  • 1012 receptions
  • 13,597 yards
  • 13.4 ypc
  • 64 TD

NFL RECORDS

  • Only player with 60+ receptions in his first 8 seasons
  • Most games with 10+ receptions in a season: 7 (tied with Wes Welker)
  • Most seasons with 100+ receptions: 5 (tied with Wes Welker)
  • Most seasons with 100+ receptions and 1,400+ yards: 4
  • Most games with 10+ receptions

All of the above with QB "talents" like Carr, Schaub, Keenum and Fitzpatrick!?!?!

    • Well, not a good look.  Doesn't seem to be the actions of a committed leader.   
    • We desperately need Cross to become a player.  And Cross training Harrison is wise. 
    • Something seems off on the timeline.     When the Colts drafted AR in April of 23, Ballard told the story of Morocco Brown finding Richardson in August of 22 during the Florida Gators summer camp leading up to the start of their 22 season.  Brown found him and called Ballard and talked about finding this incredible talent.  Richardson only had 13 college starts. I think it was 12 in 22 and 1 in 21.   He barely played at all in 2021.    I recently (the last 4-6 weeks) went back and looked at all the interviews from the 23 draft to hear again all the stories that were told about Richardson.  Ballard, Brown,  Dodds, and 4 scouts who offered insight.    Hope this helps.   
    • Richardson's point is well taken by anyone that's been in a leadership role in a trade or specific industry. Far easier to manage professionals that don't need help and are accountable than to lead college kids that are hardly accountable, and don't have a clue what is going on. I understood his point and don't think it's ridiculous to say. He doesn't have to worry about how he throws a ball to a guy that struggles to catch a certain type... He just has to throw it how it needs to be thrown and the receiver is accountable/ expected to catch the ball. He doesn't feel the responsibility to get others lined up properly, or tell them what route they are running/how they need to call the blocking scheme. It's their jobs to know. It's his job to read the defense and execute the play. Sad that a 22 year old felt that way about a multiple national championship program, but it's reality. There's a reason some serious talented players don't make it to, let alone in the NFL.
