Andre has been our favorite player and best player for several years, so loosing him before the end of his career is a frustrating thought. I guess he will always be a Texan and hope when he goes in HOF it is as a Texan.
And the results of Texans last year in particular and perhaps over last 11 years in total is also frustrating to all of us, not just to Andre.
I think team overall has tried its best, it just hasn't reached the SB yet.
And if I were worried about my legacy perhaps that would bother me some. Look at Antione Bolden, frustrated as no. 2 WR in Arizona, goes to Baltimore and becomes a hero and gets his SB ring, and then released by Baltimore as FA, now at SF. So, is there a similar scenario out there for Andre. is getting close , good enough, very lucky if one gets to SB, ever, no matter which club with or who QB is.
Then, the team is bigger than any one player is a typical view and each player should do his best to help that team he is on at the time. Which would include a positive attitude, especially in public. AJ has been this guy in the past.
Two weeks notice or mention of frustration, one draft process/draft board, already likely set before that is not enough time to fix what ails Texans no matter who drafted. I doubt any of QBs in this year draft class or last years are known or guaranteed successes, all need to practice, get some NFL experience, and then we might know latter in year if drafted QB is what hoped for, or could take longer, right now all are speculating.
We don't really know if Texans have said anything back to Andre other than practices are voluntary and hope to see you soon. We don't even know who Texans expect will be their QB when season starts. We can all have widely differing opinions on this right now.
Hopefully they will talk, Andre can gain trust for new coaches, feel some optimism, and stay. Give it time, no rush right now.
If not, sure, if can't be happy here, time to go is his right to choose that somehow. Hopefully good decision for all by end of training camp.
