I know he's had some lower body injuries, and those lead to diminishing returns for DBs, moreso than most positions. I'm not opposed to Darby, but I wouldn't expect him to be our #1 for very long. His dropoff would probably be more drastic when it eventually hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved him as a prospect, and largely, he's played very well at the NFL level, first for the Rams and then the Bills (browns was basically a lost year). He's zone reliant, and sure he gets hurt, but the talent and play have mostly been there. I wonder - is there a personality issue we've not privy to? Bad locker room guy? Gaines and Tre Boston are so weird. Both are pretty good, but never make enough noise on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 The thing that sucks about this trade is that guys NEVER get better when they come to the Texans. Our coaching staff doesn’t get the best out of players. Guys routinely leave the Texans and have better careers elsewhere. That’s why I’m not excited about this trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We feel your pain brother. Raiders fans have routinely watched as guys go from literally nothing on our rosters, to being half decent players in other organizations.

Eh...I mean, Roby looks better now than when he was in Denver last season. Carlos Hyde and Kenny Stills, too. Not trying to disprove your stance, but recently it's been better than usual.

He’s not playing better than that. hyde has twice been a 900 yard back and is right around career average per carry so I wouldn’t say he’s playing better, just getting more opportunity. Roby us allowing a slightly higher completion percentage this season compared to last. those 3 haven’t gotten worse but they haven’t really gotten better from coming here. The vast majority of players underachieve here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any improvement is needed, whether draft pick or trade or FA, you won't like it because we can't help them. The types that you like just don't happen happen very often. Hyde was terrible last year with the Browns he is MUCH better this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 And speaking of getting former Raiders, I'd be happy to bring in Osemele right now. Have him rehab on our dime and be ready to play for us next year really shoring up our line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that we rarely get a player who has been an underperformer in the league and then they suddenly live up to their potential with us.
