if they are old enough to drink we dont need them on our team, get them old guys out change the rule so we can draft right out of HS and trade everyone to stockpile picks.
repeat this process anytime the core group of players surpasses age 22. lather rinse repeat.

For the second time it is Staley not Stanley.
Now we come to it--so you agree he isn't too small to be a franchise RB it is just he isn't your image of a franchise RB, i.e. one of the 2-4 largest RB's in the NFL. Try slamming Casserly and Capers for not liking/picking huge backs then instead of DD--they are the ones not conforming to your desire.
As for running over people, try going back to DD's either 1st run in the NFL or close to it--Zach Thomas will tell you DD can run over people. Once again, your complaint is about something DD actually does well and gets compliments for--run hard and gain extra yardage.

I will tell you I thought that DD did a remarkable job in the last half of the season. After the fumble problems at the beginning he could have packed it away however I see a player with a remarkable heart and desire. He had to take a hard look in the mirror and adjust his self image. I am impressed.

I didnt get to read all of the replies so I dont know if anybody is saying the same thing I'm saying so bear wit me here...
Can you imagine tho.. DD has a breakout season.. we get a 1st and 3rd round pick for him.. so now we have..
2-1st Rounders
1-2nd Rounder
3-3rd Rounders
I dont know about you guys but wit the way our draft team is performing we could possibly have one of the most amazing drafts in NFL history.. MAYBE..
We could get a First Round OL (Could Use an upgrade), Get a First Round Safety (Coleman is getting up there in years), Pick up a good TE in the 2nd (Forget that Joppru Bust), I'd Say grab another RB in the 3rd Round (Dont Act Like Capers and Co. cant find good RB in the 3-7 Round) then wit one of the other 3rds pick up another DL (Walker and Payne wont be around much longer) Then maybe get another OL here wit the other 3rd Pick (Couldnt Hurt)

Maybe, just maybe, he is just a youngster who likes sitting behind a keyboard where no one can or say anything to him and likes having people react to his posts. Either way, he comes off badly in the knowledge area.

I don't think he's seen DD play very often. DD is very seldom taken down by the first guy.
TexansNeedRBin05 said:
You must not watch the Texans... DD rarely goes down on the first hit. He might break tackels like Jamal Lewis, but he does shed alot of blockers in the open field. Just because DD is not in the form ur YOUR ideal back, does not make him a crappy back. If you want to watch a team with a big power back, go watch the Steelers. That would work out great since ur so in love with Bettis and Staley (not Stanley)...

TexansNeedRBin05 is welcome here whatever his age. The Texans want this to be a place for all their fans. There is nothing about being 15 that means he can't have a valid opinion. Fiddy expressed himself well and backed up his opinions so well he was made a moderator.

I think you misunderstood where I was coming from. Yeah, I know he's 15, nothing wrong with that...I was that age once as well. That has nothing to do with his ability to post an inteligent thread. But, maybe his maturity level does...age and maturity do not always go hand in hand. As far as Fiddy goes...good for his accomplishments, but I would bet he's an exception to the rule when it comes to views on sports and intelligent posts from a young fan.

i'd be more then happy to see some video footage of that on more then a couple of occasions. And for all these people saying " after a breakout year lets trade him for a 1rst and 3rd". It won't be considered a breakout year, because we now expect that kind of performance from him, and also Shaun Alexander, who lost the rushing title by 1 yard, couldn't even be dealt for a 3rd rounder, and the Cardinals wouldn't even trade Shelton( whom they later released) for Travis Henry, a back that is very dominant and still in his prime, and no other team would send a 2nd or 3rd for him, so what makes you think we will get a 1rst and 3rd for DD? What even makes you think we would be willing to trade him in the first place?

For the record, most teams didn't want to trade for those guys (Alexander, Henry, and E. James) cuz they're so-called cancers in the locker rooms. Especially Henry. Also they would've had to take on they're contract and HOPE a new can be worked out or else they lose out on those guys and who they traded them for as well.DRIFTAWAY said:
The new rule on DB's to minimize contact on the WR's has got some teams wanting to pass more so they'll shy away from trading for big name RB's.
And DD isn't really a trade (wel sort of) It's a RFA thing. If we don't lock him long term B-4 03/01/06, other teams can offer him a contract and if we don't match, he's a gonner. And I don't think we can Franchise Tag a RFA (someone help me out on that one). And in return we would get that particulars team 1st and 3rd round pick in the next draft. And other teams will (maybe just 1or2) cuz he is NOT a cancer to the team. That is kinda the risk you take when you sign guys to that kind of contract. Originally he was supposed to just return kicks and be a 3rd down back, noone knew he was gonna be our starting RB.
I don't want to see him go, I just wanted to bring to light the parameters of his contract and see what you guys thought. That's why I started this thread.

He's also too much of a fan favorite. Well @ least most fans, right TexansNeeRBin05?El Tejano said:Here is why I think DD will not be traded.
The FO has been wanting to build this team through the draft from day one, they aren't going to trade away a drafted player.
Coming on to the message board more frequently I notice I may have jumped the gun when I ask when all Texan fans are down on DD. I have noticed going through this thread that there are only a few of you. One thing this board has showed me there are a few people here who will never be satisfied with what they got and thats understandable. We are all looking to get better.
What I say to you unhappy people is the same thing I said last time I wias on here. I would be happy as hell if the Steelers picked him up as a restricted free agent and gave up there 1st and 3rd. I want my team to upgrade too and I think DD is a lot better than anything we got and we went 15-1 last year. He would be just we we needed to get over that hump. I am not saying we will go 15-1 again (I can only hope), but I am saying that not many Steeler fans would complaing getting a back that young and talented.
So for the Steelers pick up that restricted free agent and win the superbowl and let them have the last pick in the first roung.

It's not us trading him. It's how RFA worx. If another teams swoops in and offers him a contract that we cannot afford, then he's gone yet we get that teams 1st and 3rd.TexansTrueFan said:
It's not really a trade. It just resembles a trade. We have not really seen that here cuz Free Agency started only a couple years B-4 the Spoilers left then we were without a team (or followed the titans) and then since the Texans have been around, none of our RFA's were being sought by other teams.
We can only hope they (Casserky & Crew) sign long term B-4 the season ends. A trip to the ProBowl wouldn't hurt either.

really i re-evaluated davis' numbers from the past season and i have to admit i was quite impressed.
302 carries for 1188 yards and 13 touchdowns
68 receptions for 588 yards and 2 touchdowns
total 370 touches for 1776 yards and 15 touchdowns..
for a second year 4th round pick that was considered small and with the absolute horror of our line and fledgeling offense it seems he has thrived. As our team gets better his numbers should improve. If his fumbling problem is over from last year he should have a markedly improved year.
He had a stretch at the start with 5 consecutive games with less than 56 rushing yards (including 1 missed game) over that 5 game stretch he totaled 124 yards. He also had 1 other game where he had less than 56 rushing yards. Needless to say with the improvements and experience of the offense and line he should not go through a stretch like that again, and barring injury should be one of the top backs in the AFC.

True, however it is very rare that a RFA is signed away when they've been offered any tender. Usually, it only happens with second day picks who are offered the lowest tender.

D.D is not going anywhere, we gave the late round draft pick a chance and he has flourished in our system. He does deserve more money which he will get next season. We wont let him get away from us.
» Unrestricted Free Agents (UFA) - Players with four years or more of NFL experience who can sign with their own team or any other team in the NFL. If they leave their previous team the team that signs them can do so without having to award the previous team compensation.Big B Texan Fan said:
» Restricted Free Agents (RFA) - Players with three years of NFL experience. Like an unrestricted free agent they are free to negotiate with any team however the current team has the right to match any offer and if they do so they retain the rights to the player. Failure to meet the offer means the player is awarded to the new team but the new team must give the old team compensation in the form of draft picks.

Though this was an intereseting write up for the DD "nay sayers". To those "fans" who still believe that we can have another back to contribute to our offense instead of DD, because you say he isn't productive enough.
DD had more total yards last year than Corey Dillon, Brian Westbrrok, and Ahman Green. All of these backs are well respected by there teams and contribute a lot to their teams success. It would be nice if some of our fans would start to look at him as the same caliber of player.

DD has to stay healthy. if you look at his stats he did not in his first season, but did better in the second....still, he seems to go down through the game and come up limping. I recall a couple times this year he started and did not finish the game.....that is why a guy like Shaun Alexander is so so awesome. He has missed only 5 games in 4 years (I think he has only missed one game in the last three years or so)!
This should be the season to tell us where we are with DD...if he can go 14 or 15 games...then he should have 15 TDS and close to 1300 yards or thereabouts....Still, I will bet that we will still be seeking a another co-RB in 1-2 years regardless of his season. He is not durable, though many are not and in this league that is a major commodity...so RB by committee is the key...ala Denver, Minnesota...etc. I am okay with DD in this role. He is something to watch...but needs a partner when he is coming up limping.
but, Shaun Alexander would have been interesting for the next 2-3 years. He is 27, proven, stays healthy and has a couple more years in him....

This is a question off NFL.com and the Answer is D. All of those RBS went to the playoffs.2 to the SB. So can we layoff that Houston needs a new RB. Because from the result of this question Domanick Davis is just fine
