    Criticizing isnt causing injury. I don't give a **** if ge never wanted Clowney. Clowney was moved cause of money. Either way it has nothing to do with this

    Who cares about Warring. They're good at that position. Dont know dont care. Another only an issue with a hater.

    Same with Coutee. He isn't reliable at receiver.

    I’ve always loved Will Fuller so I’m all for keeping him.

    To the ones that want to cut the cord, please throw out a few names that could to replace him. Just curious.

    But now we know this and people still want Fuller gone. Doesn’t make sense.

    Yeah and we don't have a first rounder to pick an elite wr and are unlikely to sign an elite wr free agent even if one is available

    How many teams have two elite wrs, eva? It was nice while it lasted which it never lasted

    Just like Clowney you will have an over the top investment in something (d-line or wr) you can't count on

    Despite your OBrien hate getting new coach won't keep him healthy

    Dline issue wasn't health, it was disappearing against quality competition

    How is one year an over the top investment?

    Because we have four years of evidence
    A year delay. The window stays open so long

    I sometimes think some speed guys's muscles are wound too tight. Thus the explosiveness. But im no scientist

    Im not happy to say cut ties. His improvement as a reciever especially factoring injuries is impressive but hamstrings linger. He isn't even old by athletic standards. There is a big issue there other than typical hamstring problems apparently.

    I like this move, we can't rely on Gm BoB to find a competent WR and train him into the system -> that takes more time.
    We don't have draft capital, might as well keep him on for another year, our offense is already shtty as it is.

    I hear that every year. Who is going to be anywhere near our picks worth looking at?
    Also, what ever happened to Vyncint Smith? He looked okay to fill in for Fuller.

    Isaac Bruce had the same soft tissue injury problems early in his career -- the Rams were rewarded by sticking with him and his elite speed/ skill set.

    I remember DV's famous comment -- 'He can't even spell hamstring anymore'.

    He was signed by the Jets in September, off the Texans' Practice Squad.

    What's the speedster out of Alabama name?

    Jaylen Waddle?

    That dude can fly. I wish he'd be available.

    All Vyncint Smith could do well was run the Go route. Fuller is a great route runner that opens things up for this offense for a reason . His top-end speed is only one small facet of his game. His footwork and precision on routes are what make him a first round talent.

    In other words there is no way in hell the Texans will find another player that completely changes the offense from mediocre to elite.

    I haven't read the whole list. Amari Cooper changed the Cowboys offense immediately
