Mario played in all 16 games his first 4 years. In his fifth year, he played in 13 games and then went on IR because the team sucked and the season was effectively over, but I seem to recall the Texans indicating that he could have played out the string if the games had meant something (haven't looked for this but that is my recollection). Last year, he did miss 11 games after a freak pectoral injury. In short, last year is the only year he absolutely had to be shut down. If you think 1 non-knee/leg injury in 6 six years is enough to write him off, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
And to take your argument further, are you in favor of ditching AJ? He's 30 years old and missed 7 games in 2007, 3 games in 2010 (just like Mario) and 9 games in 2011 (2 less than Mario). Plus, his recent injuries have been leg-related and are much more likely to reoccur than Mario's.
