The Official Welcome Mario Williams Thread

Wow, some of those guys need some ritalin holy cow.

Heh, this was an oldie but a goodie.
 
man, that was a nice find, i remember i almost threw up in my mouth when i found out the texans signed mario the night before the draft, i was really upset, that was when i knew i was a TEXAN, however, living in the austin area i got crushed by all the longhorn fans on the pick, didn't realize they all considered me a texan fan, i'm glad mario has showed signs of being something special
 
He'll never amount to anything. He's just a combine phenom. A regular workout warrior that won't produce anything.

Boy, don't you know that's the truth. We would have gotten flamed for all eternity for snuffing out the career of the second coming of Gayle Sayers.

I just hear Steve Sabol's voice now "Bush was a rare talent coming out of college but his talent was wasted as he languished on the sidelines of the moribund Houston Texans."
 
I wasn't on the board at the time this thread was live, but it was sure fun reading the pre-Mario signing posts. Thanks for bumping it, it was a good read.

I was a VY guy, thought Bush was way over rated, but was glad to have Mario rather than Bush. But I sure was pissed at not getting Vince Young.

My, how reality and history changes things.

are you still a vy guy? i live in the austin area and for the most part a lot of his biggest supporters are real anxious to see how he fares next year after norm chow was let go, was it a sophmore slump or has the league caught up to him? i thought he was gonna be a texan as well. i'm glad he wasn't because the bandwagon would have been full of those people who bleed orange yet don't know much about football
 
Sorry, no, I am not now a VY guy. To much water is under the bridge now, and I'm foremost a Texan fan. That means I'm a Mario kind ah guy now. I wish Vince all the luck in the world, except when he is playing us.

You know even though he isnt in this thread the person that came to my mind was Monarch. Remember him? He is the guy that wrote those flowery Vince Young posts about how the Texans would take him. He had a very interesting writing style. His last post was 4/23/06. Interesting how he disappeared after the draft...

Great. So then we would get the whole Romo-Jessica Simpson type of nonsense. No thanks.

If we take Mario, I will be his biggest fan. Because he will need us.

I cannot imagine being the player chosen instead of Vince and Reggie. That would be a ton of pressure on a kid. A big kid, but still basically a kid. And one not used to Vince/Reggie pressure.

The expectations for high round picks is usually kind of silly, but the pressure on Mario would be sick. It would make the pressure on Babin to justify that trade up look like nothing.

Whoever we pick, I will support them and just get ready for the REAL season--some football, baby! :redtowel:

Boy, T.C., you sure called this one.
 
Of course, hindsight is 20/20, but the Texans FO are looking like geniuses for passing Bush. Although we are only two seasons in, it looks to be the right move so far. It just seems like every year there is "a once in a lifetime back". In the '06 draft it was Bush, last year it was Peterson (who looks like is working out well), this year it is McFadden. By the way, if they are available every year, that is not "once in a lifetime". At this point, I am so thankful the Texans didn't buy into the Bush hype. Where would we be if they had:hmmm:
 
Im just glad that we dont have any character issues with our team. The only one seems to be Mathis who's prob on his way out. Plus it seems that Kubes, while nice, does not take any crap.
 
Good job jerek!

I was a draft Reggie or Vince at the time, boy I am glad I was wrong and glad the Texans drafted Mario.
