BuffaloBill Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Read a thread sometime. Why so cranky ? Overcook the ramen noodles again ? Time to let this one go.
dpberr Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 This isn't a hard deal to do. It takes Mario taking a little less money and Rex turning Mario lose on the quarterback and knocking off the coverage nonsense. There is nothing stopping this fence from being mended but ego. Both sides have to adapt. That, of course, will stop it.
TheFunPolice Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 This would be by far the best solution, if it happens. I will believe it when I see it, though.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 but still wants Rexy to meet him halfway (no likey dropping back in coverage) . He states it in the article, "going (Attack)" the gap, probably the 9 instead of read and react and use linebackers to "set up your fill inside" which is the implied alternative to having the d line fill and linebackers persue. Everything he said fits the contrast between the two schemes in question and why one might explain the current is a misfit for the talent. My guess is this is agent positioning the mario brand as 'a team player that underperformed in a misfit scheme, who still is willing to back his organization'
QB Bills Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) I want the Bills to win. Mario has the talent to help them do so. Does he have issues with self-motivation? Ya. So get someone in here that can push him. It's the job of the coaching staff to get the best out of what you've been given. Rex was a complete disaster at this in 2015. At the end of the day, it's understandable, but it still sucks that our dumbass coach is going to win the tug of war battle against a player who is more valuable to the team than he is.

vincec Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 If we are going to use him like we did last year or he is going to perform like he did last year, I don't think he fits at any price. Exactly. Plus I think he is a very poor locker room presence. Better to use the money somewhere else. My guess is this is agent positioning the mario brand as 'a team player that underperformed in a misfit scheme, who still is willing to back his organization' Could be as well. Him quitting last season can't look too good on film to prospective buyers.
yungmack Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 What's the right price for a malcontented quitter? HE should pay for the privilege. G9 BILLS!!! And get off your lawn while he's at it?
1st&ten Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I like Mario, but if he's willing to take a pay cut, maybe the Bills could work with his agent & him to trade him to a team that is acceptable to him & has interest. This is a deep draft & even a 4th rounder from a team drafting in the top 10 would be valuable.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Maybe his agent is telling him that not too many people are interested CBF
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) He's gonna need to check his ego aside and take an ENORMOUS paycut. I don't see it happening. Edited February 24, 2016 by QuoteTheRaven83
John from Riverside Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 The problem I have is he keeps talking about the bills as family He was a locker room malcontent last year half batoot effort I have never ONCE seen him step up and be a leader on this team......this guy is no meatball
Turbosrrgood Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 those are some pretty candid quotes... this could change...well...just about everything being discussed over the past month re: offseason "needs" I don't think it would change much at all. Regardless of whether he's here or not he was ineffective. The front 7 was ineffective. Their needs are still the same. Besides, this is just talk. I don't think there's much of a chance of this happening.
ALF Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 I don't see how Mario could fit the salary cap here next season.
CommonCents Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 The problem I have is he keeps talking about the bills as family He was a locker room malcontent last year half batoot effort I have never ONCE seen him step up and be a leader on this team......this guy is no meatball You nailed this one. His comments reek of something manufactured by his agent. From his comments during the season to the latest ones made to Josina it looks like are building a case to help his future negotiations and try to save face for his lackluster effort. The Mario shipped has sailed.
4merper4mer Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Wow. Last chance to scapegoat the daylights out of a very talented player that actually likes playing here so everybody hops on. How atrocious an attitude that a great pass rusher wants to rush the passer. Meanwhile nobody can see through Rex's BS lip service? Sadly, Mario will VERY likely be gone. If he stays in this garbage defense he will not have big numbers. I think the Bills will go with someone cheaper to participate in sealing the edge, covering Beckham, and avoiding contact with the QB.
billykaykay Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 At the right price? He's 8th among active players in sacks and has the most out of any player since entering the league in 2006. What's the right price to you, since you're cutting the checks apparently? As Leo Durocher used to say " what has he done for me lately ".

The real debate is whether Rex is better at his job than Mario is at his.
Jauronimo Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 As Leo Durocher used to say " what has he done for me lately ". Wtf has Leo done for anyone in the past 25 years??? A little ironic, don't you think?

You can believe that Mario has motivational issues and that it has nothing to do with Rex being a bad coach.
KollegeStudnet Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Mario restructures his deal... Clay gets reworked... Several cuts are made... Could be players in FA
