It may be just me buuuut I don’t envision 1st ballot hall of famer when I think of DeMarcus Ware. He’s akimbo to Jared Allen IMO
I find it strange that Ware and Allen have similiar stats (95% identical on tackles, sacks, and forced fumbles) but accolade wise there not even close (Ware has a superbowl championship which he was Captain of, 4 more pro bowls, and all decade team selection).

Ware has like 60% more accolades but basically the exact same stats as Allen. That might be why you don't feel like he's first ballot (he's 100% first ballot on paper but stat wise is more in line with someone like Jared Allen)

About time. Should Ware get in, Dallas will only need 7 more to jump from #9 to #1 bumping off Da Bears in most Hallers.

It’s absolutely just you, and a really bad take. If ware isn’t a 1st ballot HOFer then nobody is.
Nevertheless…

Just saying, Jared Allen and him were similar players and Allen didn’t get in his first try.

Yet a certain quarterback, never had quality defense of players. Congratulations

A good friend of mine baptized one of Ware's kids.....he speaks the world of him. Says he's the real deal off the field. I just hate to see our legends go and finish their career elsewhere.....damn salary cap!

On the plus side he did sign a 1 day contract and retired with the Cowboys when it was time to hang them up.

Great stats, never won anything with him. King of the inconsequential sack. I can remember the New Orleans game that he took over and that was it.

Give me a guy like Parsons who's a real leader and difference maker. Ware was a stats machine with zero leadership qualities.

Ware had many more accolades/awards than Allen. Not really comparable when Ware clearly had a more accomplished career.

Cool now go tell Denver that.

this is a very simplistic take, not even gonna take time to debate it.

Good because I'm not budging. One playoff win in his entire career here. Loser. Glad we have a real difference Maker and not someone who is just interested in his stats.
