I'm not saying your opinion isn't valid - I'm just saying so are the other opinions on this board.

True

And I wasn't bringing up Mario against you, it was meant to be an example to show how media can overrate someone, sometimes.

AJs biggest detriment has been his QBs.
DC couldn't get him the ball
Schaub throws passes into dangerous territory

I won't say he's injury prone, but every time he gets tackled, I hold my breath. Thats not a good sign

Frak you are a standup guy. It was easy to find all those doubters who was talking about how the Texans screwed up by passing on Vince and Reggie. I remember many people on these boards that were pissed and even some ticket owners wanting out because the Texans screwed up so badly. For you to come on here and admit it says a lot for your character. Props to you dude.

Maybe you're just a nervous kinda person ?

AJ injury prone? un-productive? I can understand being a little nervous due to having 2 knee surgeries in less than a year but come on. It ain't that bad. I guess AJ will just have to prove himself again this coming up season.

EDIT: Did Jared Allen have this sort of recognition before last season?

6.7 receptions per game - 3rd in the league
94.6 yards per game - 1st in the league
.88 TD's per game - 4th in the league

I'd say the proof is already in.

That's good enough to at least be considered in the top ten.

no. if he delivers double digit sacks this season it will be his first back-to-back double digit sack years.
