Texans get Demaryius Thomas

Unfortunately, the WR market was muddled when Jerrah sent a 1st to OAK.

 

The wrong type of WR but still a good move. Wish they make a move for Bell, if available. It would also serve me greatly since I have both Conner and Bell on my team.

 

Thomas is sure handed? Isn't that his biggest flaw? Hes been in the top 10 in drops every year since 2012........

He has 6 drops this year.

 

His stats for the year aren't much below Fuller's, and that's with Keenum as QB. What I love about this guy is his durability, He hasn't missed a game since 2011. I'm not sure anyone on our team has been injury free more than 3 years. Sure, he doesn't have the speed, but we got a steal I think for what we gave up for him.

 

Unrelated news but Ty got dumped by the Packers!! The dumbass

 

He is still fast and beating off coverage on go routes.

The QB situation there is not a good one.

 

DT is tall strong and still pretty fast running straight lines.

Best of all he’s talented.

The Texans added a guy who’s a top talent WR.

Is he a top 5 WR like he was 3 years ago? No.

Can he be a top 10-15 guy this year and next playing with Watson? I think it’s possible.

Does he provide and replace what fuller does? Not even close.

But he’s instantly our 3rd best offensive player on the team after the Clemson boys.

I look at DT as a Brandon Marshall like pick up when he went to the Jets. Everyone thought Marshall was washed because he played with some bad QB play in Chicago the year before, was in his 10th year and his numbers had dipped. He goes to the jets and plays lights out with Fitzmagic, putting up 100+ catch’s 1500 yards and 14tds and that was his 10th season.

 

Maybe he plans on combining draft picks as leverage to move up for a QB in the draft next year. Who knows.

 

Antonio Brown looks pedestrian without playing with Rothlisberger.

Lets see what DT looks like with a good QB.

30 isn't the end for a receiver.

Andre Johnson's best year as a pro was when he was 31.

Larry Fitzgerald had elite years in his 30's.

Steve Smith at 32 and 33 was an elite receiver

Terrell Owens at 33-35 years old.

Jerry Rice from 31 to 34 were his best

Brandon Marshall at 31-32

Randy Moss broke the touchdown record at 30 years old.

We got Thomas at two years in his elite window for a 4th rounder. He ain't done.

 

Was he the only guy we got? Did we get a CB?

 

It's a copycat league. I think the eagles started the trend when they traded for Jay Ajayi last year and ended up winning the super bowl.

 

For everyone complaining about DT not being able to stretch the D, remember, we have that guy already. Vyncint Smith is just as fast as Fuller. He CAN do that job.

This is an excellent trade, and to me, it makes our offense that much more dynamic than it was even before Fuller went down.

 

Did he even have anything to do with that title? Teams should start their backup QB's too?

 

Yeah, I'm not saying he isn't worth trading for, he's way better than any other WR on the roster. He is better suited as a #2 at this point in his career, which he will be now. But people here in Denver were ready to move on from him, his drops (especially at critical moments) have been a problem the last few seasons, he is just getting older now. He has always reminded me a lot of Andre actually. But he isn't the all pro that he used to be anymore.

 

He will be a number 2 because Hopkins is on this squad, but he has plenty left in the tank and could be a number one with a good QB.

I have family in Denver so I pay attention to my second favorite NFL team.

Thomas is still beating off coverage on go routes. Keenum just doesn't have anywhere near the arm for Sanders or Thomas.

It was a big get by the Texans.

 

The Triple D offense about to take the league over. Just watch.

 

You're dreaming man. DT has lost a few steps and is a shell of himself.
