He had a bad game and now he’s Aaron Maybin.

I am a Texans fan and I am happy for Mario. I do not wish him to play bad in Buffalo this season because if he plays good that means the Texans get a high compensatory pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. I hope Mario gets 15 sacks or more this season except Week 9 when he plays the Texans.
In a cutthroat league like the NFL, I am happy for any player who gets paid. Business is business and for 50 million dollars guaranteed, most people would leave Houston for Buffalo. Most of the people leaving comments would leave their current job for another job for an extra 10 to 20K dollars so what is all of the fuss about. Mario is doing the same thing except the money is different.

$100mm is the only reason as to why he’s in Buffalo, if he wanted a Championship he would have signed with Bears, Packers, Giants, Falcons, etc.

For some money is more important than LEGACY.

Let’s be honest people, how many of you would turn down 50 million dollars guaranteed with an oppurtunity to earn another 50 million over the next 6 years if you perform as expected? Probably none of you but a few idiots would say they would take less money.
We are talking about apples and oranges. Rodney may have taken less money to go to New England but let’s be fair, Rodney was not offered 100 million dollars. Just because Rodney thinks highly of himself because of his 20k Super Bowl ring, I am sure Mario feels just as good for the 50 million dollars in his bank account. I know, money isn’t everything but it is alot when you do not have any.

I’m not saying that Mario isn’t good, because that simply would be crazy. But, I will say, that he looked much better in Houston, because they have a better all around defense in Houston.

There is a reason the Texans let him walk, and felt ok doing so.

Deserves Mario right for signing with a loser team in a loser city like Buffalo. Don’t you have any dignity Buffalo.
Really you do realize that tax dollars from western NY and central NY is what keeps NY city from drowning in debt ??!!! Please think before you speak!

Texans fans booed when un-Super Mario was chosen with their #1 pick. V.Y. turned out to be a head-case and Reggie Bush was never properly used by his first team. But, Mario had it all going for him and he turned out to be a lazy slug.

We told you so.

“C’mon Mario, shake it off, it was one week. You can do it!”

People in Houston use to say this a lot his first couple of years but slowly we learned as you will learn, Mario just does not have it. Look at the Texan defense last year, when Mario went out it actually got better.

Texans fans knew we weren’t going to keep Mario because somebody would overpay him. He’s being paid about 7-8 million more than his production merits. He used to take off plays & even games like we saw in week 1. For the largest contract for a defensive player, I would expect Jared Allen or Michael Strahan kind of dominance. Mario disappears too often when he’s not getting easy pressures. Enjoy the $16,000,000/year

This was a bad contract from the beginning. All that money from a small market team to a player who’s been okay in his career.

You might not be listening but you are hearing it, Mario.

i was at a meet and greet dinner last week with the Bills and he had his wrist wrapped…seemed shady

Here’s the deal: Mario brought this upon himself. Anybody can have a bad game, but blaming the ref’s for your poor performance is just plain dumb. Take responsibility and move on. Plus, Mario better get used to being under the microscope…he’s the highest paid defensive player of all time. Mario is getting paid to be the best, and when he falls short (no sacks against the Jets bad offensive line…c’mon man!) people are going to notice.

Before Texan Fan comes in here with: “see, I told you so.”

The Bills whole team looked like crap last week not just Mario.

C’mon Mario, shake it off, it was one week. You can do it!
