According to Ian Rapoport (NFL.com), Texans All-Pro WR Andre Johnson is a “big fan” of backup quarterback Ryan Mallett.

This report isn’t that surprising considering Andre Johnson‘s quotes the last few days regarding QB play.

Just earlier today while talking to the Houston media, Johnson voiced his displeasure with the circumstances. When asked where he planned on going during the bye week, Johnson responded, “Get far away from here.”

Johnson continued later on, saying, “I’m trying to help the team win, but I only can do what I can do. I can’t control everything. I only can control what I can. That’s it. I can’t block. I can’t cover guys. I can’t throw the ball. All I can do is run routes and try to get open and catch the ball.” When asked if he has been open and not been receiving the ball, Johnson said, “I don’t know. You watched the game.”

Right after Sunday’s loss, where Johnson had just 2 catches for 12 yards, he was asked if he was surprised he wasn’t getting the ball more in games. He responded saying, “I have no comment about that.” He also added that the offense has been too inconsistent all season long.

So we know Johnson is upset with the way the team has been playing, specifically the offense. Think he would be down with a quarterback change? I do.

Rapoport’s report is just another report that will add fuel to the #FreeRyanMallett campaign. You already know I’m on board.

Hopefully when Johnson returns from “far away” he’ll receive good news.

Make the switch O’Brien!
