Bill Simmons on his QBs and how he ranks all of them.

Quote :

"THE ENIGMAS Vince Young, Matt Leinart Comments: Approaching the two-year anniversary of the 2006 Rose Bowl, who could have guessed the three stars (Young, Leinart and Reggie Bush) would have made less of a discernable impact COMBINED on the 2007 NFL season than Mario Williams did? Honestly, I don't know WHAT the hell is going on with Vince Young -- he has had a bigger sophomore slump than "Friday Night Lights.""

LOL

Nice, looks like Manning isn't having too much trouble though.

12/23/2007 2:06:12 PM

atleast Mario got his. Sounds like the Colts are having their way with the Texans defense though

way to go mario

Quote :

"Texans defensive end Mario Williams and receiver André Davis won awards on Thursday. Williams, who registered 14 sacks, was voted NFL defensive lineman of the year by the NFL Alumni Association. Williams will receive his award at the annual NFL alumni banquet two days before the Super Bowl. Williams is the third Texans player to be honored by the NFL alumni.""

Hey, remember when people were saying Mario would never in his wildest dreams be as good as Peppers?

Well Mario's second season in the NFL has already been better than ANY of Peppers' seasons.

Which makes me as an NC State fan, but very as a Panthers fan

so now DE's in NC won't be described as "the next julius peppers", they'll be described as "the next mario williams"............right?

Mario Williams supposed to be on Friday's (tomorrow) Jim Rome is Burning at 4:30pm. Set your DVRs all you hard core fans.

I'm glad Jim Rome and some of the like have admitted that they didn't know what they were wrong when they were bashing Mario earlier and that he's actually a hell of a player.
