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.

JOSHUA, don't put words in my mouth. 1) Mario has been hurt, but I am interested in exploring what might be available if we franchise him, and see what kind of offers we might get. 2) He wants a huge contract, I think. 3) We now have 3 young pass rushers in Barwin, Reed, & Watt to put on the heat. 4) We have to give Foster a new very significant contract.

Try to stick to things I did say. To make your point by alluding to things I might have said about AJ will get you absolutely nowhere!
