HOW MANY QUARTERBACKS HAVE YOU TURNED INTO A HALL OF FAMER, YOLO? ZERO. I AM THE PATRIOTS WAY. I MADE BRADY. IT WORKS LOOK AT THE SUPERBOWLS, YOLO!!!!!!!!!!MotherF'er! WHO NAMES THEIR SON RIVERS? WHAT DOES HE KNOW!!!
What are y’all gonna do if David Johnson returns to himself and is a beast? Will y’all consider this trade horrible or even?
Yes it will still be horrible. From what people in the league are saying, Johnson could have been acquired at virtually no cost to the Texans. In fact people thought the cardinals would have to give up a pick and pay some of Johnson’s salary just to get rid of him. Instead they only had to give up a second and fourth, got a fourth back and got rid of all of Johnson’s salary as well as got Hopkins. It legitimately is one of the worst trades (from the Texans perspective) of all time.
Feel bad for Johnson, people are going to take some of their frustration on BoB out on him. If he doesn't perform well fans are really going to boo him because of what we gave up for him.
Screw it, here’s to hoping David Johnson has a huge comeback...I’ll never agree with the trade, but I’m rooting for him now and I hope he makes me eat all the crow in the world
Texans RB David Johnson passed his physical with the organization. It was the last step in processing before he could join the Texans, making his swap with DeAndre Hopkins official by league ruling. The declining 28-year-old was undoubtedly slowed by injuries last year, limping to an underwhelming 3.7 yards per carry on 94 attempts, but there was never any doubt this trade (for better or worse) would push through. Johnson's availability is the least of the team's worries as Bill O'Brien has left the franchise with only two picks (No. 57, No. 90) in the first two days, and six picks total in next weekend's draft. Defense should be of priority with those selections.
Even with all the money they are spending at RB, they need a starting RB. Johnson was a backup at times last year.
That's a really good question... and the answer is yes. At least for me. Running backs are so dime-a-dozen-ish that to tie up $11-12MM - even for a 2016-like season - is a poor allocation of financial resources and (!) you took him over far more valuable draft capital and/or didn't weaponize his contract to extract more draft capital. Honestly, David Johnson is the worst part of the trade - it displays a fundamental lack of understanding of what is - and is not - valuable in today's NFL.
