IMO, the problem with AH is he cares more about his personal stat line than that of winning. If he can inflict pain and get sacks in a 50-0 blowout loss, I think he's fine with that. But a win when he is basically a non-factor and he's pissed off. A lot of the times when he was getting manhandled was because he was trying to go lateral instead of standing up and taking on blockers (like a NT is supposed to). At end, he might be able to contribute this year, but unless he completely changes his mindset (highly unlikely) he will only be a pass rusher from the middle of the DL much like Holliday is.

He cares about winning, but he also wants to win in his way, for the most part.
He's likely not going to get either here(and if he does get a ring, he still won't be totally happy), although he might get to play "his way" if he went to Dallas, because the NT over there is in a penetrator role. He won't be winning a Super Bowl though.
