    After seeing the texans D play so well even without mario I am think maybe he is like magette. Obviously he has made pro bowls, all pro teams, and he gets his stats, but does truly make the D better like Polamalu, suh, or willis? Or does he get his stats and everyone salivates at his talent? Magette is an efficient scorer does his job very well but well have any of his teams been good? Or is he really like Tmac?

    I hope the texans don't give him an absurd contract.

    don't kid yourself and think a premier pass rusher like Williams couldn't make this team even better.

    Dumb comparison is dumb….you do realize that the defense was doing very well with Mario this year correct? You do realize the Mario only played a few games under wade in a new scheme and a new position and was by all accounts exceeding expectations.
    Mario will be back and will CONTINUE to be a great player in the new scheme.

    It's not like Mario wasn't good until Wade was hired.

    :rolleyes:

    Does someone have actual realistic numbers of what Mario will get if we tag him? And if that number is feasible to the salary cap? I've heard numbers as high as 20 mill.

    That is my point. Mario has been good and D still sucked. He has been good and D is good. Mario Doesn't play the D is pretty good. Corey Magette doesn't suck. He is one of the most efficient players in the NBA.

    And that's why you don't compare NBA players to NFL players. Totally different sports... one player does not make the difference either way.

    If Mario can get double-digit sacks in this system, he's very much worth hanging on to. He makes this system even better. We know what Mario can do when he's not in this system as well.

    Texans rack up 400 yd games without Johnson...so Johnson isn't a difference maker?

    16million if he gets tagged he will make 120 percent of his previous salary. Don't know how far under the cap the Texans are.

    Franchise tags don't count against the cap so it doesn't matter.

    Whether the Texans keep him or franchise him or trade him or whatever, just from a football standpoint he's one of the top 4 passrushers in the NFL at either DE or OLB. So basically I have no idea what your comparison is supposed to mean.

    1. DeMarcus Ware
    2. Clay Matthews

    Jared Allen?
    Dwight Freeney?
    Julius Peppers?
    James Harrison?
    Woodley?
    Cole?
    Tuck?
    Hali?
    Wake?

    I'm not quite sure he's Top 4, and if he is, it is like a 10 way tie.
