Because Ware still did exactly what Hardy is doing. Getting pressures here and there. That's why.
Pretending like Hardy is getting constant pressure is BS. He hasn't and isn't.
And it's a lot easier to defend a guy like Ware, who was doing what Hardy is doing, only without all the other dumb *** ME **** like Hardy has. You didn't have Ware missing meetings. Making stupid twitter posts or acting like a general *******.
Even if we were to accept that argument, then that means Hardy is doing what our BEST player on defense was doing for years. So stop talking about his performance and just say you don't like him, because you don't like his personality.
If Hardy is playing like Ware is, a first-round HOF, what grounds do people have to criticize his performance on the field..
You think your going to draft a DL better than Ware or Hardy next year that would destroy D-lines while our offense plays conservative and our defense does as well, the max it does on the latter is just rush 4, doing some stunts here and there?
Ware's best years was when they ran all sorts of variations up front when Wade was here and his greatest sack year was 2009. Looking at total stats, one could make the case 2007, when the offense was clicking as a whole, it was his best year going by sacks and tackles.
Hardy isn't anywhere afforded a guy like Wade on defense nor a semi-decent offensive performance to take pressure off.
Hardy is BY FAR our best defensive player on the field and plug and play isn't going to solve the problems with this team. That's been the excuse far too long, including the offense with the whole, we need a second WR for this offense to really take off..
