Correction, They could pay him what he was worth, just not what the Bills thought he was worth.
Big difference.

Please hold off the trash talk until you beat a viable team this year. I wouldnt classify Miami as a high powered offense.

Yes, because players only get to have an opinion when their team wins the superbowl. Stupid Watt, he should have done more than notch 2.5 sacks, 12 tackles, 3 TFLs, and 3 QB hits in the playoffs against Baltimore last season.

Would you prefer it if he threw his teammates under the bus and said, “I really wish we still had Mario Williams, because he’s way better than Connor Barwin and Brooks Reed”?

Might as well never say anything, because apparently people are going to complain about every single opinion. Of course, then people would complain about players not doing interviews.

He was probably the most dominant defensive player in the 2011 postseason. I don’t think he needs your validation to voice his opinion.

And for the record, he didn’t just hold a press conference to announce that statement. He was asked in an interview and he gave his opinion. And you know what? He’s right. Perhaps it’ll cut down on the sports media drivel about the Texans taking a step back because of the “loss” of a player who was on the field for four games.

The Texans tend towards overconfidence. They look like a great team, but they should save the bravado for when (if?!) they truly achieve something. Right now, some people can claim that if Peyton had never gotten hurt, the Texans still might not have ever even won their own division, let alone emerged as a Super Bowl contender.

That said, I always thought Mario was slightly overrated. A very good player, but not quite the indispensable one that media hype would lead one to believe!

Just sayin…

Just kidding I don’t think like that, but Williams is overrated

I have seen every single snap the Texans have ever gotten a paycheck for and absoluteley agree with Watt regarding Mario. He is a very good player but will never be great. He’s just too dang big to have the quick moves the great pass rushers have. He’ll usually be very stout against the run. His heart just doesn’t always appear to be in the game. Great person, great teammate, etc. but just an above-average player.

And BTW… he told me personally that the Texans never even made him an offer.

People should know by now that winning in the NFL isn’t as easy as getting a few free agents. It’s about building your team through the draft. Tying up 100 million dollars in one guy is never a good idea, unless it’s a top end quarterback that can carry your team.

Redskin fans are funny. Completely ignoring the fact that they gave up 32 points. Hope RGIII can put 40 up every week.
——————————————————
Skins dominated that game. They were up 40-24 late in the 4th quarter and gave up a garbage late td in “prevent” defense. Also, the Saints got lucky with a blocked punt td. The score was not as close as it was. Total domination by the Redskins.

Mario wanted to move back to his natural position of hand in the ground DE on the exterior of the D-line not the interior or Stand Up OLB. Honestly, I think Buffalo is close to being decent, but they need that next step from their QB. I don’t think its Fitz, but the rest of Buffalo’s roster is solid. The problem is when you are close to being good, you don’t get those Top 10 picks for a quintessential franchise QB, so their scouting staff will have to become better or Fitz is going to have to make that leap forward.

The formula for unseating the Pats in AFC EAST is harassing Brady with the pass rush, the NY Giants blueprint for success in the 2 super bowls, in order to win the championship you have have to make it out of your DIV., I think the Bills understand that and have made the moves necessary to build off of.

With all that said JJ Watt is a beast, possibly the best 3-4 DE in the game at present. I would only put Ngata ahead of him, in that type of scheme. scheme.
