Yeah, the guy was only a first team All-Pro last year, second team All-Pro 2 years ago and a pro-bowler both years. But you were right all along.
Lucky for you, Jabaal Sheard has actually shown up this year since he was your go back in time alternative plan to Mario Williams.
But really, you're gonna bag on Mario for his 13 tackle 4 sack season, why not add Dareus and his 33 tackle 2 sack season or Jerry Hughes and his 34 tackle 5 sack season? Or Kyle Williams 6 tackle 1 sack in 6 games season?
The entire defensive line this year has been hot garbage and all suck equally.
That's about what he does on average...so he'll go back to being the exact player he was when he's back in a system that actually allows him to perform.
His 16 game average comes to 34 tackles and 10.5 sacks...even with factoring in this craptastic season...
So really how is it funny or that much of a stretch?
Rex was a bad hire unless the Pegulas wanted the defense dismantled.
Nobody signed up for this as a fan. The fact that there were no d players in the pro bowl sums it up.

See you say that and Coastal laughs but look at the numbers and look at guys who've put up similar numbers...
4 more seasons of his average production of 10.5 sacks and 34 tackles puts his numbers equal to guys like John Randle, Julius Peppers, Jason Taylor, Jared Allen, Neil Smith, Richard Dent, John Abraham. A couple of those guys already are HOFers and the rest likely will follow suit.
Will Mario ever reach Reggie White, Bruce Smith, Michael Strahan numbers? No. But neither were those guys I listed above in that class either.
So, since I feel you'll realistically give a response instead of resorting to insults and laughing it off, what distinguishes the difference from Mario to say John Abraham?
Because he's a butt ****ing quitter who is the type of player who plays the game for the pay check.
And anyone with a brain and a set of eyes can see it.
dont believe me... look up his advanced stats metrics.
One other poster here has more than hinted at it.
Oh you mean like Cris Carter, who forced his way out of Philly, exercised an out clause to leave Minnesota? Or a guy like T.O. who wore out his welcome at every stop? Or maybe Randy Moss? Or Eric Dickerson who involved the Rams in two years worth of contract disputes til he was finally moved to Indy where he had more contract disputes and got suspended so they moved him to LA? Or Deion Sanders who was more concerned about building his own personal brand while going from team to team to acquire the most dollars he could? Or John Elway who refused to play for the team that drafted him and decided to try out some minor league baseball before being traded out of Baltimore? Or hell let's stay Bills related on this, Jim Kelly who didn't even want to come to Buffalo in the first place and was able to take more money to go play in the USFL?
All of those guys are HOFers who played the game for their paychecks and own personal reasons, not the team. Owens and Moss aren't yet but they will both join the rest.
I was banned for calling Yardie a coward, by DB, in a tread about women’s issues happening right now in America. Nothing better than republican men silencing women’s voices, especially in the Buffalo Spin zone!!

Reggie White and Bruce Smith were both, in their times, the highest paid defensive players in the league...same as Mario.
The real Fool's Gold moniker belongs to Shady McCoy, Charles Clay, Percy Harvin and Tyrod Taylor.

He's gone next year so we won't have to keep :
That's a non sequitur, Gracie.
Money has nothing to do with a players accomplishments. A player gets whatever the market will bear and what a team is willing to pay for his services.
The Bills needed a pass rusher in the worst way when Williams hit free agency. He was the best available and lived up to that billing the last two years.
Your husband, Georgie, admitted at the end of last year, that he was wrong about Mario. Now he takes Mario's poor season as a reason to resurrect his original objections. The thing is lots of players have had poor seasons. Lawrence Taylor comes to mind. Exactly how many sacks did the greatest pass rushing LBer have in Super Bowl 25?
Answer: zero.
Mr. Pink (12-27-2015)
Yes the fact that I mention that other guys who have flat out quit on teams and were me first show me the money players yet still made the HOF anyway proves I'm a troll. Oh wait, it proves your premise wrong.
You've got about 3 more months to bang on this dead horse, enjoy it!
