Ok, now that I have had time to absorb and think about a response.....here goes.
First off, I for one am not upset about this due to some "loyalty" bullshit that some want to use to try to somehow belittle people who are upset about this. That's fuqng stupid.
I'm ok with Andre being traded or released. Frankly, I posted last year or the year before that I WANTED Andre to go so he could actually win and get the hell away from this burning train wreck fap fap bullshit year after year. I personally would have enjoyed seeing him win a SB with NE last year. He could have been traded last year or the year before and we would have gotten much more in return. But what did the Texans do? They told him (this was not rumor, this was reported) that he just needed to hang tight through 2014 and that they he would retire as a Texan, etc fap fap etc.
So they wasted another year, had him restructure year after year which helps the Texans (so none of this Andre is being selfish myopic bullshit) then basically tell him he is washed up and chunk deuces at him and we won't get much in return? Seriously breh?
Yeah Andre is washed up.... He was only like #12 in receptions last year (with a **** brigade at QB and a rookie HC) and in recent years just before that was STILL putting up elite numbers.....yeah tell me how washed the fuq up he is again. And oh yeah, we're fuqng SOLID at WR......oh wait..... Yeah, Andre would have a "diminished" role next year but it wouldn't be because he sucks, it's because we have no one to get him the damn ball and no one to figure out how to get him the damn ball should we have someone who could deliver it to him.
So I'm not upset he is leaving, I'm bothered by how and why he is leaving and the lies and circumstances around it. Hey, maybe Rick Smith can waste MORE draft picks and tell us how awesome it is and how it's all part of the plan. What they do with the draft picks and cap space they are about to get will be huge. However, we can all sleep easy knowing they'll pick up garbage players and fuq that up as usual...hello the next Ed Reed, come on down!! Hey, maybe we can pass on a Peyton Manning type player again (talk about the loyalty crap....how about the Texans staying loyal to Schaub and giving him a ridiculous contract before he should have gotten one).
All I can hope at this point is that at some point in the future this dumb fuqng organization can somehow mend the fence with Andre and Andre do likewise and we can all celebrate him going into the HOF as a TEXAN. For right now, thanks for pissing on the face of this consistently .500 or less organization with how you totally bungled and mismanaged this. That I think is the beef people have or at least the one I have. Way to show no grace or know how to act like a big time team.
Again, in summation, just to be crystal clear, not upset he is leaving, but how it all was handled which I guess I shouldn't be surprised by this kind of **** from this FO.
