    Damn I wish we'd do the matching red tops and bottoms again.

    Remember now, he's just a possession receiver.

    The only possible bright side about the trade is losing 1-2 extra games early which led to O'Brien's overdue termination. It's a shame it took such an awful situation but Cal runs the team.

    We need some awesome drafts to overcome the destruction caused by BoB and the owner.

    Fuller will be re-signed or Franchised. This will keep Watson happy.

    No. Because the thought is that the Texans would probably be above 500 right now with Hopkins. This wasn't even Fullerton best game.

    Again (seriously!) it was mentioned during the game today that Hopkins being gone was good for Watson so he could "diversify his targets".

    Thats like saying taking away brisket makes me appreciate the other types of meat more. Sure, that's a valid point. But I would still rather brisket.

    No, it does not because we're going to lose him to free agency and have neither of them.

    So many players are supposed to be fast but Fuller is playing like the fastest. Its ridiculous that Hopkins is soo good that Fuller can never get in his class

    Hopkins's range puts him in a different class among the Moss's and Rice's

    Franchise tag. Don't you also get a more manageable salary cap for 2021 by using it? It's a no brainer. "Those bois ain't going nowhere."

    I agree. I think he's got to be franchised at all costs.

    No its like saying brisket is gonna eventually kill you. Mix in a salad

    Actually the problem wirh the trade is David Johnson. The problem with the team is defense

    They are scoring. Their defense is technically last

    AND THE RETURN! DRAFT PICKS! NO FIRST ROUNDER for a receiver of DHops quality. That will always be the problem with the trade.

    It’s gonna take a minimum of 4yrs and 80 mil when and if they extend him.

    I think hes gonna get less than that with his injury history and the amount of games hes been available. Also, he still gets lost and forgotten in games. I dont think hes a true #1 and can be replaced

    I don’t disagree - but is the underlying premise based on the longevity of production of the others? This is fullers first healthy season - knock on iPhone. His penchant for getting in the end zone is more valuable then a wide catch radius. If he is able to maintain his health and stay partnered with a plus QB - we may feel differently in a few seasons.
