the guy is barely servicable as a number 3. he doesnt know how to play the wr position, doesnt find the open zones doesnt come back to the ball and has horrible hands.

Jacoby Jones is BAD

BUENO!
That's JJ. He's a wasted roster spot if you ask me. I like a good return TD as much as the next guy but you got to waste that roster sport for 16 games to get two or three performances out of him. The rest of the time he might as well be on IR for all it matters.
Vinny was talking about the lack of a legitimate #2 opposite Andre Johnson and while I appreciate the things KW & JJ do neither one should be better than 3rd on the depth chart at best.
I would say they ARE no better than 3rd on the depth chart and maybe even 4th.. OD is very arguably #2 and with the emergence of Casey, he could be a legitimate #3-ish. Both are more dynamic in the open field than KW and both have better hands(most of the time)than Jacoby. An asset like Casey can serve the same purpose as a #2 that can stretch the field, only he'll draw D's in closer so AJ can get open deeper.
Jacoby & Walter were a little nicked up. What's bad, is our depth at WR....... Bryant Johnson, David Anderson.
That's why Casey had a 126 yard recieving game.

Damn. And here I was thinking he was a weapon. Just another fill in whil KW develops some flair and JJ devolops some WR moves that resemble his PR skills.

Jacoby's contribution is his speed, and that was negated by his injured knee. A slow Jacoby is a practice-squad-caliber Jacoby.
I don't agree with that.
Casey made plays because he took advantage if his match up and made things happen. The lack if receiving depth has nothing to do with him having a good day IMO.
hot pickle
Canada Eh
just to think in pre season we were all saying how strong our WR depth is
Not all of us.

In another thread I joked that we should go the ATL route and mortgage our draft to move up for Blackmon.....
I now think I was only halfway joking...

well i think there is a couple of really good WRs coming out this year, i dont think we would need to give up to much to get a good one.

There are 2 elite ones in Blackmon and Alshon Jeffery. Then there are a few really solid wrs in Fuller, Floyd and possibly Sanu/Broyles

take a SOLID, put him under AJs wing and he can become great.

Go Texans!
IF we're going to play this sort of game....then I fixed it for ya'
I've been told that it's OK for players (i.e. Mario) to get sacks/highlight plays in bunches, fwiw.

Go Texans!
I'm just sayin'...if we're going to sit here and rag on a guy because he didn't impact the game in any meaningful way, then let's talk about Mario's virtual absence from the stat books vs. the Saints.
Therefore, ANY Texans player who shows up one day and doesn't the next is subject to these terms and conditions. This isn't a country club thread...there's no exclusive nature about it, IMO.
IMO, there's O-N-E man in a Texans uniform who shows up as long as he's fed the opportunities. That man is Andre Johnson. Period. Everyone else is living in his world admiring his consistency and utterly relentless professionalism.
, Foster, Quin is pretty consistent although he does have a few bad plays here and there. Schaub is consistent as long he's not asked to do to much.

Jeff Fuller, Ryan Broyles, Michael Floyd, Alshon Jeffery, hell even Kendall Wright would all be better than what we are currently playing at WR. Kevin Walter is done, IMO, and is at best a #4 WR, Jacoby is too inconsistent to be anything better than a #4, Bryant Johnson IS a #4, David Anderson shouldn't even be on the team...
I remember a few years ago when many fans considered WR a position of strength. Those days sure seem like a long time ago.
Trade up for Blackmon

No thanks. He isn't worth what it would cost to get him. As another poster said, he has the body of a cheetah and a tiger mixed but the brains of snail.
I liked Blackmon at first but after watching him in the A&M game, I wouldn't draft him even if we had a chance.
However, at some point you have to spend some effort to upgrade your offense. It's good, but it has been mostly neglected in 4 years.
like i said haywood actually made catches and plays...but he wasnt about to lay out and take a hit to make a catch...but he was always the first to point in the stands and show off just like jacoby
