    See that's where we disagree, I think fans complaining about a player missing 6 weeks due to a torn meniscus is laughable yet not quite as pathetic as fans complaining about someone catching the flu. I can understand not liking that either situation happened, but the level of stupid that we've had to put up with from Texans fans as a result of those things happening is absolutely off the charts.

    Yes, believing that would be a good example of ignorance. Thank you for your contribution.

    Just about everyone in this forum would argue that you've said multiple ignorant things lately.

    Thus it's a little hard to respond to your latest little crusade against the fanbase with little more than a shrug.

    Argumentum ad populum. What "just about everyone in this forum" would argue is irrelevant. Anyway, I guess it's not that big a deal, there's no way to change it. It's really just more of an annoyance than anything. When the Astros were a thing, that fanbase was a lot more knowledgeable and there are many knowledgeable Rockets fans so it's not a Houston thing, it's just a Texans thing.

    Fitz is average and Andre is worse than Hopkins - Bobbythegreat

    Not sure what you're point is. Fitz IS pretty much average, slightly below if we're being exact, and Nuk IS our leading receiver with 22 fewer targets than Andre.....

    Quote [BobbytheGreat] "Texans fans have been itching to bash Clowney every chance they get, even inventing controversy to keep it going."

    Blanket statements like this make YOU look like the ignorant one; and I'm sure that isn't true. I honestly want to rally to your side but you make it impossible. I don't know much, but I can assure you that 95% plus Texans fans want Clowney to be the next Mean Joe Green. That said, I could live with
    a few less defeatist here.

    That's fair, it's not everyone, but it's a much larger segment of the population than it should be. if it was just a few crazies that would be one thing, but at times it seems to be the majority.

    Your homerism is that of an expansion troll.

    His injuries this season go further than that.

    Romo is marginally better than Fitz.

    I liked Bobby a little more when he wasn't playing the "I am the smartest man alive" schtick.

    Can you rank the intelligence of the 32 fan bases in the NFL? Where are the jags? What about the chargers?

    "Pretty much"? It's yes or no.

    Now targets and yards are the marks of the best WRs? Fascinating that you can accuse others of ignorance while spouting this stuff.

    I'm not really concerned if you are having a hard time following along. Those statements aren't outlandish, Fitz is right there around average to below average and Nuk is our leading receiver.... It would probably be best if you moved on from this one because it's not a winner for you.

    Below average is correct.

    Leading in yard \= better.

    You're getting closer though. Keep working on it and you'll get there.
