It is nice to see articles like this starting to come out. Of course, this guy must be off his rocker to have Mario ranked in the top 10 and not even have the definite hall of famer VY ranked in the top 50.

wow #6?

i believe in mario and all the things he's going to accomplish but he's not the #6 best player in the league. hell, andre johnson has more impact than mario.

i'm not even saying he won't be #6 after this year, just not right now.

good press is nice though!!

Funny that the #6 best player in the league didn't even make the Pro Bowl in his breakout year. Yeah, I love Mario, but this list is nuts to have him that high. At least Andre is on the list too.

honestly, demeco has more right to being #6 than mario and he didn't even make the list.

so it started out with one extreme. how bad mario was, how bad the texans were for picking him blablabla....

now it's this extreme....how long until it all just evens out?

Double digit sacks in the second half of a season will tend to give people the impression he is about to have an amazing year. I fully expect mario to have an impressive season and he will be in the Pro Bowl this season.

apparently osi has an opinion. since it's on the table let's discuss why osi umenyiora should keep his mouth free of any extraneous noises.

a) because he doesn't even belong on the list, not at 6, not at 42 (which he was), not at all
b) he's only had one good season also. i guess we will allow his 13 sacks to count this year even though i'm pretty sure andy reid should've done something about his boy after the 3rd sack...or 4th....or 5th....hell, that night any one of us would've ended up with at least two.
c)his name is hard to spell and for that i hate him a million times
d)played across from someone who could also rush the passer...what were is his name was again? MICHAEL FECKING STRAHAN!!!!!!!! 5th on the all-time list with 141.5?!?! yea, you had some help homeboy.
e)mario williams is at every point in the game a better defensive end than osi umenyiora
f)osi plays in a qb-pressure oriented defense, mario does not.
