Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

I didn't play football growing up.

I played hockey... half the time with one arm hanging out of its socket.

was that from too much masturbating or too many reach arounds?

The only fool is Ralph Wilson for giving that dude 50M guaranteed.

No.

You are a fan not a decision maker.

Glad I didn't buy any tickets this year! Show me results... not free agent signings.

I wasn't as excited as many on this board were for signing that guy. Thought we overpaid. But it's not my choice to pay a dude that kind of dollars. He fit a need and the money spent on him at least went to the players on the field and not in Ralphie's pocket. Why blame a fan about getting hyped up about signing the best or at the least the best defensive player in FA last year to play here?

Because it was a dumb decision... like so many others before it.

and once fans stop buying into the crap OBD sells, then and only then will there be real change.

Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

well he is up to 14 tackles! He is projected to have 37!

He is suppose to average 2.31 tackles per game to stay in par and he is at 2.8 tackles per game ... and he has 3.5 sacks ( 2 from yesterday ) would have LOVED if it would have been Brady but it appears he is earning his money..

I personally would like to see more .. maybe because coming off those 2 nasty losses where the defense allowed an insane amount of points ...

thought now on how Mario's is playing ..

I thought he was robbed of a sack yesterday - when Kolb threw the ball out on his way down. I thought it should have been ruled a sack...

I think its too early to say Mario is earning his money. The Cards have probably the worst set of OTs in football and probably for the last 10 years.

Mario needs to show up against Tennessee's OTs who are pretty solid.

How do you earn $100 in a few years, unless you're re-writing record books?

Its all relative. He got that money because he was FA, not because he is worth 100 mil. What we need from him is to produce at an all pro level and produce against the top offenses.

I saw that! LOL .. however I didn't think he got robbed!

Yeah, plus that one where he had Kolb by the jersey and Kolb was able to run away from him toward the sideline. I wonder if his wrist injury played a role on that play. Either way, he had a good game.
