And I'm sure you have too... You've analyzed every game Reed has played over the last few years rather than picking out a great play here and there. As for his "hits", he was suspended for head-to-head contact (Steelers game being the final straw). Not sure how that equates to him still having great tackling skills and Ronnie Lott tenacity. Regardless, you have your opinion and I have mine. To me, this is shades of Barkley/Rockets and Stabler/Oilers and nowhere close to a Drexler/Rockets situation. Shoot, while we're at it, maybe we should look at signing Randy Moss, Terrell Owens or Chad Johnson too. They probably still have more talent and skill than anything the Texans have at WR #2/3/4 (excluding the injured Posey) and at least they'd come cheap - unlike Reed.

EDIT: And just to clarify, no, I'm not serious about Moss, TO or CJ.
