H2o Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 How crazy would that be on the Texans' part? The guy is about to be 28, in the prime of his career, and one of the 3 best WR's in the league for sure. Just doesn't make any sense.

DJB Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 We've possibly shown interest in AB, and Green. So if Nuk is available we are definitely interested .

BOB has only had 5 winning seasons, 4 playoff appearances, and 2 playoff wins since becoming the HC of the Texans 6 years ago. He also has a better record as an HC than McD. But folks will laugh because he made the playoffs with Hoyer, Mallett, Weeden, Osweiler, Savage and Yates at QB. What a terrible HC!

O'Brien strikes me as the guy who got a lot of power and thinks he knows what he's doing. But he doesn't and that team will end up hurting in the long term until someone wakes up and decides they need a different HC.
DrDawkinstein Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I hope we're all over this. I dont think the asking price will be as high as some here are willing to offer. Texans obviously want to move him to free up cap space ($15M/yr). I think that might knock his price down to a 2nd and another pick. Or at least I can dream.

Expand They've traded away all of their picks (which is why the idea of a Hopkins trade is even being mentioned) and they're nowhere near being a Super Bowl contender. O'Brien is a fine coach (though he makes terrible in-game decisions too frequently, as evidenced by the wacky ending to our playoff game) but his team-building has left a lot to be desired.

SCBills Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Texans are low on picks and hard against the cap once they have to pay Watson. There seems to be some "there" there, as this isn't the first time his name has been rumored. I'd give up this years 1st and next years 1st. No question. Deandre Hopkins was the difference in our WC game, and immediately takes us to that contender to the Chiefs level in the AFC. We're set up well with cap space, and this FO's ability to hit on picks in the middle round, to make this move. Edited March 16, 2020 by SCBills
Mango Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I don't know why you wouldn't jump on this. A first and change, and I would not blink an eye.

Expand I'm with you. He is their best offensive weapon, is a great guy, and is not a problem for them in any way. Their QB is hitting his prime years and keeping play makers around him should be a high priority. Sometimes threads like this one or similar crazy stories from sports writers seem like a waste of everyone's time and energy.
