    you replied to a post talking about DJ running as a whole and his decline the last couple of years. whether you intentionally just blamed the blocking in the vid to scapegoat it is up for interpretation

    Bill O'Brien's burner :D

    "Will J" ... William James O'Brien
    "Proud dad of two great boys" ... O'Brien has two sons
    "4Jacko69" ... Son named Jack; O'Brien born in 1969
    AFC South Champs twitter header ... "Doesn't matter Brian. AFC South Champs Brian."

    Defends every move. Fluent in speaking "O'Brien".

    Is it him? Probably not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    David, we dont hate you. We hate the situation you came in. You are hated by de facto from a chin thats shaped like an ass and a brain that acts like one.

    After all this time and reading material, ive resigned myself to be fine with DHop leaving. We added weapons, who knows if they can all add up to what Dhop did.

    What I am not, and NEVER will be fine with is the return we got. I can handle Dhop leaving because he wanted more money/Obrien not being able to keep a relationship afloat.

    But how do you not get a 1st for the best receiver in the NFL?
    How do Vikings get a 1st and other picks for Diggs days later?
    How do you take on a bloated contract, give the best receiver and not get a first rounder?!?!
    How do you not even include a guy we were rumored to want last year and would fill a HUGE need in Patrick Peterson. I forgot PP was there, I was racking my brain on what we could have asked from from ARI other than the 1st pick, then remembered they had a guy that would fill a huge need.

    Exchange DJ for PP and then draft Taylor/Swift with the 40th pick and this would be a different offseason.

    Diggs is not asking for $20-$22 million. That why Hopkins value was down, teams dropped out when they heard that number. Clowney’s value was depressed the same way, differently. Teams didn’t think he was worth the money and his Free Agency has proved that. His demand went from $20 million to $13 million a year. He will be lucky to get that. Should have taken the Texans’ offer. It was more than $13 million.

    Cards were not trading PP. They were not trading a CB for a WR. Elite CBs are valuable than WRs.

    Does BoB give you anything in return for your fealty? You'd make a good PR manager. I don't know about your effectiveness, but the effort is surely there.

    You know who else didn't ask for 20 to 22 million? Every other disgruntled / eligible WR, FA or not.

    Why? Because. They're. Not. As. Good. As. DeAndre. Hopkins.

    That may be, but you have to trade with a team willing to give Hopkins that kind of money. Don't say...."he is under contract...blah, blah". No one is going to trade for a WR to inherit that trade demand and give great value for him.

    How come legends like Tim Duncan, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers etc. never talk about haters? Because they're actually good. Fans say what they see and can't rely on athleticism to make money -- so they use their brains to survive. Johnson has been below average since his injury, for well over a year, and was traded for the best player at that player's position. People are going to hate that situation as opposed to him being signed as a FA where there would be more patience about giving him a chance. You can make fun of fans who still go to games and buy merchandise, but you can't call them haters for pointing out the obvious.

    Still can’t believe we let go of a top NFL player for trash. Anything less of 2 number 1s was ridiculous.

    Every team would b willing to pay hopkins that type of money cause hes worth it. Hes one of the best wr for a reason. Only reason no one traded a first, was cause BoB is just sht at his job. Once u get that through your BoB dck riding head, you would learn to stfu and just agree that it was a sht trade.

    Hell u even said u "didnt like it" yet here u are day in and day out defending BoB like he made one of the best value trade ever, its quite fking disgusting.
