Are you including 2013 into that 2 year span because Ware had 19.5 sacks in 2011.
I'm not the biggest D Ware fan but the revisionist history that's going on with the guy.
Is pure stupidity. IMO.
I guess I was wrong. It had only been one year at the time (now it's been two). But I don't think it changes my point that much. I think TTexasTT's eyes came across Ware and he stopped reading the entire post. If he wouldn't have freaked out instantly, he would've seen the validity of my post.
*Anyone with any kind of business sense is going to be kind of weary when a guy who is 31 (at the start of the 2013 season) is coming off the worst year of his career. In the majority of cases, career lows at 31 are not a good sign. And probability prevailed because Ware had year another career low this season.
*The rest of what I said rings true. Ratliff was 32 at the beginning of the season. He hadn't played at a Pro Bowl level in years. He'd been injured for the past few years. He was starting the season on the IR. Many people predicted he wouldn't even come back after season 6 when the staff said he would. They were right. He also physically threatened the owner of the team.
*Hatcher was 31. He was a career backup up until last year. He did play well in the final year of Dallas being in the 3-4. But he was far from an elite player in the NFL. And since we're on the topic of inaccurate statements, TTexasTT said our D-line had 4 Pro Bowlers. That's inaccurate because Hatcher has never been a Pro Bowler. Oh, he was also in a contract year.
*Spencer was also in his second straight contract year. Most people didn't see resigning him. He was injured to begin the season. He was coming off a great season though, but it was the first excellent of his career.
*Not to mention, all these guys were switching to a 4-3, a scheme they never played in his pro career. And the only depth behind them was Tyrone Crawford, an unproven guy in his second year.
