There's no doubt Mario had a few great seasons, but keep in mind he was the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. Do you really feel that his performance lived up to that monster contract? How can I be in the minority when the vote is 59 to 41? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Easy answer. Yes. Everyone who answers no, is wrong. Mario was one of our few elite players. Period. Edited March 25, 2018 by jmc12290 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, You said the topic was not debatebable as to indicate that most fans felt the same way. He fact the the poll is around 50/50 shows that this is, in fact, a very debatable topic. 3 minutes ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said: What would you guys choose? A good QB or a game changer D-Line?

Boatdrinks Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 35 minutes ago, Buffalo Bills Fan said: Nope when Peyton was out there. They should of tried everything for QB vs Mario no matter what. QB driven league Peyton Manning in Buffalo? The Mario Williams signing was thought to bring a certain credibility back to the Bills , but there was NO WAY Manning would ever have come to Buffalo. When he first was going to be a UFA, I was discussing it with buddies at work and said " He'll got to KC or DEN, it'll be the AFCW for sure" . He wasn't going to be in the NFC with his brother, first off. So it was AFC and those teams had strong rosters execept at QB. The division didn't have many good QB ps to stand in his way. The AFCE was out of the question because that would mean Brady twice a year just to secure a division title. The AFCW had no clear favorite and was the easiest path to the playoffs, where he'd take his chances on Brady in a playoff game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Super Mario was a really good signing while he was in B/lo the D was exceptional they just couldn't get the offense to do enough to win many games !! That has seemed to be the fate of the Bills it's always one side of the ball is good & the other side is bad if they could pull it all together we may stay a good team !!

Rocky Landing Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Mario was great until Rex came in and told him to stop doing what he did best. Should he have been more professional and tried to adapt to Rex's screwed up system? Sure. But that front four under Schwarz was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Great production for the first few years even though we all knew he took plays off. I think it was one of the rare times where a monster deal paid off, though it did end in ugly fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 My personal regard for the TBD community just plummeted. Mario was a terrible signing in both foresight and hindsight. Buddy Nix paid an underachieving defensive lineman like a franchise quarterback. There should be nothing to debate. How many extra games did we win by giving Mario Freakin Williams a $100 million contract? He was our fourth-best defensive lineman in his best season. Such a massive waste of cap space.

Horrific take. 1. Mario's contract was not cap prohibitive. 2. He was easily the best player on the team at the time of his signing and probably up til 2015. Our "fourth best defensive lineman" is so ridiculous I almost think you're trolling. 3. How many players had more sacks from 2012-2014 than Mario Williams? 4. His "$100M" contract was the sole largest defensive contract for one year, the year he signed it. Revis, Watt, and etc had all surpassed him by the time he was cut, as is the NFL norm. 5. The dead money was not even close to what happens around the league in bad contracts. Being able to cut Mario for only $7M in dead money when he had hit a wall is the sign of a good contract, not a bad one, to anyone who knows a lick about the NFL. Try again.

Not at the table Karlos Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 He was a great signing until rex showed up. Rex was a terrible signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
