And everyone used to blame Ware for the entire defense being bad.


That’s because this fanbase is toxic

To this day it was always stupid to get rid of ware

the trick was never about getting rid of ware. It was about adding more talent around ware

i have a feeling they are going to make the same mistake with parsons

Some of our fans are horrible. They'll crucify players like Ware and Romo who were truly talented players who carried horrible at teams at times and yet will sit there any defend a player you can clearly see isnt talented enough and needs the team to carry him .

Some fans get way too obsessed with players' salaries!! I believe Ware was let go because of his cap hit. Lots of fans wanted to let Ware go just because of his "cost". Screw the fact that he was our best defensive player!! smdh

Jesus man..while your complaining about others defending "A player" you just put Romo in the same catagory as Ware....does this not scream pot meet kettle to you?

Ware was talking about that in a video with Irvin. They said how come you're being so hard on us, he said that's why they brought me here.

Ware was let go because he was a shell of himself the end of those last 2012 and 2013 seasons. Just look at this one highlight video from our 2012 win or go home vs Commanders. Look at how many times he gets washed down or just looked completely lost.

No they didn't, unless it was one of those stray idiots that appear online at times.. Most people loved Ware until near the end of his time in Dallas his health and production diminished and people started to question whether he was still worth the salary. But even then I don't remember people putting all the blame for all defensive woes directly on Ware.

LOL at putting Romo and Ware in the same sentence.

I wish I could give this post 2 likes

In 2014, our first season without Ware...when we went 12-4 and lost in GB, Ware had 10 sacks that season

Not saying we would have beat GB...and then gone to Seattle and won...or even beat NE in the Super Bowl, but we cut a guy who could help us in an area we sorely lacked talent

Just my recollection, most people around here thought he was done and were ready to move on

The success of 2014 surprised people, so maybe that would have effected people's minds, but most were done with him after 2013

Ware didn't help himself when he and the rest of the defense were coasting it in the Packers game that eventually led to Phillips being fired. Stuff like that sours you on a player.

17.5 sacks in his first two years in denver after getting cut by us. This total doesn't include his 3.5 sacks in the 2015 playoffs en route to a Super Bowl

Oh, most definitely. At least on the DC boards people were saying to cut him and that it was business and nothing personal. Then, as soon as Ware signed a 3 year/$30M deal with quickness, people started trashing him, saying he was a loser, etc. and one poster whom I haven't seen around here in a while even called him a PED drug cheat. Most disgusting display I've ever seen from this fanbase.

We weren't going to be using Ware in the same way - he was going to get really banged up here in Dallas when we went to the 4-3 straight up. Phillips was using Ware in a lot of different ways with Denver.

Our sack leaders that season were Jeremey Mincey (6 sacks), Henry Melton (5 sacks), Tyrone Crawford (3 sacks) and George Selvie (3 sacks).

If you believe he wouldn't have been our best pass rusher regardless, then I don't know what to say
