Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

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.

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

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?

So how much did Reggie White, Bruce Smith and Michael Strahan make?? Were they too paid the same as Mario?

Seriously? Do you not understand the concept of free agency and that as time goes on players get paid more and more

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

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.

the fact you're even mentioning these players in this thread is proof enough of your troll status.

your anagrams are showing.

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.

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!

Well, you're an idiot if you think that was a comparison.

Of course, don't let anything like reading comprehension stand in the way of your fun.

I'm not the one who brought him or any of the legends of the game into this discussion.

you mouth breathers did.

now if you guys want to pimp a guy who faked wrist surgery, misses team meetings because he's "sick", and openly calls out his head coach destroying a lockeroom before it can even have a chance to form... well I certainly can't stop you.

but those of who who know who real competitors are... well we just happen to know better than you.

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

Can't wait to read this thread all of next year when he's still on the team.

And welcome to another year of not making the playoffs again.

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

One more game in and one to go for the 2015 incarnation of Mario "Super Fool's Gold" Williams.

13 tackles
4 assists
4 sacks

would it be fair to sue him for this year's salary back the same way he had to sue his ex-fiancé to get the $1,000,000 engagement ring back?
