    Even though the Texans haven't won any superbowls, is it wrong that I put Andre on a pedestal with Hakeem?

    Happy birthday, Dre.

    A pedestal? no
    A pedestal with Hakeem? yes

    We are truly blessed to see his HOF career here in Houston. His natural skills are on par with Hakeem for "best talent of a generation". But you gotta count the rings.

    I'd put Dre ahead of both Bagwell and Biggio as special players I've been fortunate to see live. Both of their had HOF careers to, but they were never really considered among the top of their generation.

    i think "The Natural" comes from Madden. at least that's the only place i've heard it. this bday is bittersweet. rather him not get older.

    Bagwell
    Biggio
    Moon
    Earl
    Hakeem
    AJ

    In no particular order, by far the cream of the crop of Houston pro sports.

    Way too many spaces, but yes.

    Throw in Matthews and Munchak.

    Very good call, they were THE BEST interior linemen of the generation

    Shame they are so intertwined today with Bud and the Tacks, Tennessee royalty my ass.

    As Great as AJ is, why hasn't he been vocal in recruiting other WRs to join him?

    I love AJ, I'm just asking because he has to be well respected around the league.
