no, I didn't watch the entire game, just snippets, because I have a wife and kid now and don't have the time to write down every timeexactly when a black athlete was targeted and how many times he caught it,bu its still enough to tell what is going on. He put up a string of catches with 2 minutes left while they were in prevent defense...impressive. Then the ball was almost picked off forcing it to him, and then they got the td because guys like Suggs can't play an entire game of football. They ALMOST won, Isn't that the same as LOSING? Back when I hadmore time for these things.I did notice they forced the ball to Johnson, while Kevin Walter had single coverage beaten. This isn't based on one series of a game. This is based off of the entire 2008 and 2009 seasons. Just because he wasn'tpassed todoesn't mean he wasn't the primary receiver on the play call. Schaub has had he problem of locking onto one receiver instead of going through reads. I did see enough of the game to tell that once play calls were made for other receivers to get the ball, its like magically Johnson was open and didn't have 3 guys covering him. And btw, yes there was a redzone play that Johnson was the primary receiver on, Schaub locked onto him, 4 defenders around, he threw it anyway and is lucky it didn't get intercepted. That would have been game over right there. That is considering forcing the ball, not matter what way you try to twist it. 14 targets in one game is excessive, that would come out to 224 targets in a total season. The fact that most of his catches were in 2 minute drills makes his performance less impressive.
I think your idea of what being great needs some tinkering. The guy gets stats, he gets targeted around 170 times a year. The Texans don't have winning seasons, Period. I don't care how many times he ALMOST won the game for them. I care about how many times he has helped them win, and you can't win without balance. I don't know exactly what your agenda is. You can worship your prescious afflete and pleasure yourself about how he almost won a game. This isn't fantasy football where only stats count, otherwise Orton would be an elite qb right now. Go ahead, have fun with his life sized poster hanging on your wall. I have to imagine that your Cam Newton one is getting old. I mean that is if you can find time between putting down white athletes and propping up black ones, recording exactly what time they had passes thrown to them.
You can go all the way back to the days of Jim Taylor, who imo was just as great as Jim Brown, but shared carries and never had the amount of carries Brown had each year, but the Packers won games, championships, they had balance. How many did Brown have? one? and he wasn't even the MVP of that game, a receiver was, and it was toward the end of his career. Same thing with Csonka, the guy couldve rushed for 2,000 if they gave him the ball enough, but the team had balance, and the only team to go undefeated. I think this is the problem with the NFL today, you have players whining about getting more carries or more targets. Most of theare not concerned with the bigger picture. You play to win the game. Football is a team sport, not an individual one. There are other wide receivers in the league that could put up Andre Johnson type numbers, like Marques Colston, except Brees spreads the ball around, they have a superbowl ring. But I guess the ideabalance doen't compute in your head.That kind of logic doesn't make any sense to you, since you think that there are enough black people to fill the entire NFL at skill positions as well as offensive line without any dropoff in talent, when they are only 13 percent of the population.
come on set me straight on how Andre Johnson is a hall of fame receiver, please, I would love to hear it. Please tell me more about how white fighers are juicing in UFC, Id also like to hear more about how you think McGufie sucks and that Newton is really just a good kid. Oh yeah, and Id love to hear more about how Welker is struggling now that Moss is gone and Branch isn't pulling away an extra db. That would explain Welker's increase in production right now right? oh wait Branch is still seeing single coverage. Please tell me more about how you think Steve Nash sucks and Chris Paul is a better player. Please tell me how Colt Brennan is on the same level as Newton because of one mistake while Newton has had several.Again, pleasetell me more about how "The Patriots are not the same offensive juggernaut they were without Randy Moss". I mean, if we only had more valuable posters like you on this site, the world would really know what is going on with white athletes.Edited by: snow
