Imagine if you will Demarcus Ware still on this defensive line

[Risen Star]

It was a mistake letting him go.

I said in the summer that he'd have more sacks his first year in Denver than Mincey would have in his Cowboys career. He probably has already done enough to accomplish that.

if you bothered to do any research you will find that on average Demarcus Ware had more plays per game then any other top pass rusher in the NFL over the last 9 years.
We never gave him much rest during the game and you wonder why he was tired in the 4th. Gee.

I don't wonder at all. We all know that Ware never got breaks, but the problem is when you rely on a guy 100% of the time, but he can only give you 90% and there is no depth... you lose games.

Neh good riddance , we are better without that softy . 6-1 record proves it.

I guess you want to double down on being dumb?

and you basically said that was his fault. Really brilliant deduction there.

 

[Risen Star]

Sacks aren't everything. This defense isn't getting sacks, but what they are doing is holding up. One of the biggest issues with Ware was that he would fade late in games, and he is getting older and more injury prone. You can't rely on someone like that for that much of your salary cap.

What's disturbing is you very well might have typed that while wearing your Brandon Carr jersey.

 

[Galian Beast]

If you don't get that sack every time on 3rd & 10 in 4th qtr = fade late in games

Some players can never win. Not even one of the best defensive players ever

When you're paid the equivalent of three starting defensive players, you have to pull that weight. And when you fail to do so, the team will generally lose.

It's much better to have a rotation of guys, then to have 1 guy and no depth or talent around him.

I think you're the dumb one . Wanting too pay 10 million to a guy constantly getting hurt , fading in big games , declining in skill ?

Never accomplished anything with him . Wasn't a leader , wasn't intimidating , was terrible at run defense . Go watch the 2012 season ending game @ Washington . It's good riddance.

so now you say Deware did not pull his weight? Wow I guess you not only failed football 101 but common sense 101 as well

Are you Forrest Gumps dumber brother?

More confirmation bias.

At no point did I assign fault. Simply saying that the situation we are in now is better than the situation we were in when we relied on him for our entire defense.

People don't understand opportunity costs...

you said he faded in games and insinuated that was his fault. Sorry you got caught?

It looks like it now for sure.


Never would've guessed we would be this good though.

I'm still ok that they let him go for that price but I wish he could be apart of this.

 

[Galian Beast]

With Ware, you're putting all your eggs in one basket. And as a result you would need him to perform constantly and consistently.

It's hard for any player to do it.

I'd compare him a lot to Romo, but I feel as though Romo delivered a lot more than Ware.

 

[Risen Star]

People don't understand opportunity costs...

I understand that a truly elite edge rusher is one of the most impactful players you can have on your football team and you should look elsewhere to cut costs first.

BTW, Ware just got another sack. That's 7 in 6 games.

bandwagon fans like you are a dime a dozen. No wait, that is over paying....

Let it go he isn't here and we're better then we've ever been while he was here .
