This isn't a case of dumping your star pitcher for a middle infielder and a truckload of minor league prospects. The Texans need to keep attaining more talent, not trade it away for speculative values. And what would be worse would be if Johnson were traded for something other than a series of first rounders. I have ZERO faith - ABSOLUTELY NONE - in our pro scouting department right now.
Andre Johnson will be in Houston for the long haul.

Keith, pragmatically I agree with you. AJ has always been the "sacred cow" so to speak, the only play who was thought to be "untouchable." I was only pointing out, that that to me, there's some tarnish on his armor and maybe a few "chinks" under the tarnish.
I could see the Texans trading AJ after the season, "to give him a chance to play on a Super Bowl contender" now. There are a few symptoms of "Ahman Green-itis" starting to show up....but like you said, "NO CONFIDENCE IN THE PRO SCOUTING DEPARTMENT". That would really take some "big cojones" on Rick Smith's part and I just don't see it.

calling out andre johnson as the "problem" with this team is just funny.

After 6 years does he elevate the play of others around him? So is he the so called "foundation", maybe and then again maybe not. I think I would prefer a few smaller "rocks" and a sack of cement than one "big rock" and that same sack of cement to build my foundation.
