    Lol all you need to know about rick smith is that in 16 years, his best QB, the most important centerpiece to a team, was Matt Schaub, who was a backup QB. He gave the worst contract is NFL history to the worst QB in the league. I’m not gonna go through everything to show you why Gaines so far has done a better job than smith. Literally you’re gonna get maybe 2 out of 100 people who are on your side on this. Are u related to smith or something? Just be excited our GM made a good trade and move on. I made an exaggerated post out of excitement which to anyone else was pretty obvious, but u had to make an argument then pushed it after I even told u it was an obvious exaggeration.

    You made an exaggerated post. That's where you need to end your post. It was exaggerated and you're still trying to make it. To say Gaine has done more than Rick Smith already (even though the best players on this team were mostly from Rick Smith) is just ridiculous. You can just say you like what Gaine has done so far (and I'm with you). But let's not get carried away.

    Damn do I have to really explain to you it’s literally impossible for a GM in the NFL to do more in one season than another GM could do in 16 years and that what I said wasn’t supposed to be taken that way? Even after I already said it was an exaggerated post which was pretty obvious. If the answer is yes, then you just extra special

    Yeah it's hard to tell if any of the reports are even true. Bell would have been similar to Duane Brown and Khalil Mack; the team trading for him would have to agree to sign him to a long term deal before the trade would even happen. I'm sure it was a long shot.

    Well Fiedorowicz wasn't garbage, he just couldn't stay healthy. He was the only 2 way TE we had on the roster and was by far the best blocker. If concussions hadn't ruined his career early he'd absolutely be helping the O line out.

    If you don't like being corrected, don't be incorrect.

    Id really like to believe since we got rid of Kubiak, Wade Phillips, Owen Daniels, Trindon Holiday, Shiloh Keo(lol) to Denver and they all won a superbowl; can we trade for DT from Denver and win one as well. It must be reciprocated right?

    Instant takeaways from Houston Texans' trade for Demaryius Thomas

    BY EVAN MCPHILLIPS • HOUSTON TEXANS DEMARYIUS THOMAS • OCT 30, 2018
    [​IMG]
    The Demaryius Thomas era is over in Denver.

    The Denver Broncos have shipped off their once superstar wide receiver and a seventh-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth-round pick and a seventh-round pick, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Texans are in the lead for the AFC South and found themselves needing to make a move to bolster their receiving corps depth after Will Fuller sustained a torn ACL in their game against the Miami Dolphins.

    [​IMG]

    They will look for Thomas to help replace Fuller, who had an overall grade of 81.2 that ranked 14th among qualifying receivers. Fuller caught 32 of his 33 catchable targets without dropping one for 503 yards and four touchdowns in seven games this season, and his 2.24 yards per route run ranked 14th among wide receivers with at least 40 targets.

    The second-year wide receiver’s deep speed and play-making ability will be sorely missed, but the acquisition of Thomas should help to lessen the blow.

    [​IMG]

    Thomas has managed to produce a modest stat line in Denver this season, catching 36 of his 56 targets for 402 yards and three touchdowns. He has also continued to struggle with drops this season (six drops on 56 targets) and has seen a decline in receptions, yards, yards per reception and yards after the catch per reception each of the last four years.

    Though the newly-acquired receiver is not the blazing deep threat that Fuller is or even the receiver that he once was, Thomas is still capable of contributing as a reliable option opposite of DeAndre Hopkins. His 73.1 overall grade still ranks inside the top-30 of wide receivers with 40 or more targets, and he is averaging 1.65 yards per route run, which is not far behind the likes of bigger names like T.Y. Hilton (1.67) and Stefon Diggs (1.69). Additionally, 22 of Thomas’ 36 receptions have gone for first downs, and he has demonstrated he can still make contested catches and big plays when called upon.


    In the play above against the Jets, Demaryius makes a good adjustment on an underthrown ball, uses his physicality and size to snatch the jump-ball from the defender and coasts into the end zone as a result.

    The Texans’ move for Thomas on the final day of the deadline indicates that they realize they are in the driver’s seat in the AFC South this season. He can and will contribute to this Texans offense as they make their playoff push.

    Lol the sun is purple sometimes, go ahead and correct me on that too if it makes u feel better. I don’t mind being corrected, what I mind is people trying to be smart ass for an statement that wasn’t supposed to be taken literally. But whatever go ahead and think you are the winner, must have taken lot of brain and football knowledge to correct me on saying Gaines has done more in one year than smith had 16 years to do. I didn’t know that was incorrect that at all, thanks for correcting me. U just extra special man after I told u 5 times what I said wasn’t supposed to be taken literally, u still think u actually corrected me lol. Have a nice day smart ass. U did really good

    No, the sun is always white, because it emits all colors of the spectrum. Sometimes you might perceive it as different colors, but that's an optical illusion.

    Now you're just lying and resorting to name-calling and attempting to insult. You can do better. State your opinion without taking it or making it personal. Makes for a better internet experience.
