Mario Williams' 12 Sacks Isn't Worth His $100 Million Contract

[BillsImpossible]

Mario Williams has 12 sacks so far this season, and 33 tackles. He has been unnoticeable for how many crucial games now? When's the last time Mario Williams made a, "game changing," play? When's the last time Mario Williams had a, "big game," that anyone can actually remember?

Jerry Hughes has 9 sacks so far this season, and 44 tackles.

Nickell Robey has more tackles than Mario Williams, with 34.

How is that humanly possible that a man who is 5'7 and weighs 165 lbs soaking wet has more NFL tackles than Mario Williams does, who is 6'7 300 lbs?

That's not right.

Robert Mathis signed a contract in 2012 for 4 years, $36 million. He is currently the NFL sack leader with 16.5.

Draft gurus like to talk about, "value," a lot. Is there a player the Bills can draft in round 1 to replace Mario Williams?

There's probably a player in round 3 that can replace Mario Williams.

He's no Bruce Smith. Williams is not holding up his end of the $100 million bargain.

I'd rather see the Bills spend $50 million each on two free agents that can help score points.

Are the Bills better on defense because of Mario Williams?

No, and it shows.

The Miami game in Week 7. That was the last game that he made a real impact in. He had a couple sacks and the sack/fumble which won us the game. Since then he has 14 tackles and 2 sacks. He's broken up some passes the past several weeks but that's about it.

Turns it on, turns it off. At least he has an "on" sometimes, I guess. Up to Pettine and Marrone. Would be interesting to see what would happen if they brought in someone to compete for his job. Probably nothing much, he gets his money. At least he's not Haynesworthing and works part time at a full time job.

Woo.

You understand the majority of Jerry Hughes' sacks come because Mario's getting double teamed, right?

Generally, people whose opinions aren't piles of **** don't complain about the team leader in a stat the team leads the league in.

Honestly, I thought so too, but most games they're double teaming the interior if you watch close. Mario never even falls to the ground most games.

Fools Gold.

I'd rather cut him and use that money to sign Cutler.

one of those sacks the QB was already laying on the ground.

Marios double teamed, Dareus is double teamed, Kyle is double teamed, how many players are on offense?

That leaves 3 Bills defenders standing around doing nothing. If you count the other teams QB, thats 4 Bills defenders with no one on them.

Cutler? This is a joke right?

No, it's perfect. EJ can't stay healthy, so we need a guy like Jay Cutler whose strongest asset is his durability.

Mario had one of the best games of the season according to those who analyzed the tape last week. Maybe you should try before making threads like this.

It's not like we use surplus cash anyway. (*cough* Rhinehart *cough* Levitre *cough* Byrd)

Re: Mario Williams' 12 Sacks Isn't Worth His $100 Million Contract

Step one: Let Byrd go
Step two: Cut Stevie
Step three: Cut Mario
Step 4: Profit!

Mario will probably never be able to live up to his contract, that's one reason why you don't make guys the highest paid at their position in the entire league.
I'm guessing the same people complaining about Mario's money are mostly also in the 'we need to overpay Byrd' camp.
If we can get a third rounder that will produce double-digit sacks, I'm all for it.
Screw Cutler, he probably won't even be able to win his job back in Chicago, and will be tossed to free agency.

Really? The guy that seems to have no heart and gets injured almost every year. You mean the guy that couldn't get his team to the playoffs with a +20 turnover ratio and a defense that ranked third in points allowed? A guy that got in a snit when Denver was listened to trade offers concerning him and then forced a trade because he had huwted feewings?

You really want that Gizmo?
