Actually he had his only "down" year last year. People don't take into account who had been throwing to him other than Schaub and Fitzpatrick in his earlier years there (who have struggled themselves but for some reason they aren't "down"). The Texans have had a new QB every other year if not every year. Just in the last 2 years I can count 4 different QBs he's had to deal with. Andre Johnson is still recognized as a good pickup if you need a #1 or 2. From what I can see it seems as thought everyone is writing him off because they didn't hear his name in headlines every week last year, which is ridiculous. I can't even hold his age against him because last year people were saying the same thing about Steve Smith being old and look at what he did.
No.... If you read it again it says Cobb over Maclin but I'd prefer Andre Johnson given we need a #1 . Cobb is a slot but we already have Kerley OR Harvin (depending on what happens with Harvin) so we don't exactly need to go spend big money on another slot receiver. I chose one receiever and kept in mind who we already have.
Never did I say we would have an elite QB. There are none available. That wasn't about the Jets, I was making a case for Andre Johnson. The point was that if he can do that with a mediocre QB then he still has some left in the tank, and with an elite QB people (in this forum) would be singing a different tune about Andre Johnson. As far as the Jets go, IF he did come here he wouldn't hurt the team. He had more yards last year than any receiver on this team and supposedly he's too old or he's running out of juice.
