D. Ware or Micah in their prime, who you taking?

[Coogiguy03]

I know I ask a lot of questions on here (cue jokes 3, 2,1), this is probably the hardest you'll ever have to answer! Both great pass rushers, talented, and fierce off the ball. Who you taking in their prime?? Please give your thoughts

Micah recently mentioned he was in his prime so....

DeMarcus had a 20 sack season in his 4th year. Micah will probably fall around 12ish maybe. Ware did have the benefit in playing his natural position as an OLB in a 3-4 for much of his career. Micah has never experienced that yet. One can argue Ware was better at the run but then again you can also argue Ware was in better position to succeed. One is a HOF and the other is in the trajectory of being one. Right now I say it’s a toss up.

I think I speak for everyone in saying that you need your own sub forum, to answer your question though has to be Ware least at this point

4-3: Ware
3-4: Parsons

4-3: Ware
3-4: Parsons

Ware had his best seasons in the 3-4

Demarcus Ware and it's honestly not even close. This question got asked a couple years ago and it was like 20 pages of people just crapping on Ware. That he was a "no show" and bad leader.

Micah is everything people said Ware was. I don't even need to think about it, I'd choose Ware in a 3-4 or a 4-3.

Even by his third year DeWare was a force Parsons probably will never reach

Ware at this point. We may not have seen Parsons in his prime yet, though. T.J. Watts' best year so far was his fifth and last year (his seventh) was his second-best as far as sacks go. Ware's best was his fourth, but he almost matched it his seventh. Who knows what Parsons' sack total would have been this year if he had stayed healthy.

What do you think Captain Obvious?

BTW the answer to your question is Ware.

Also Ware did this for 9-10 years and got himself into the HOF because of it. All that talk that Ware never showed up in big moments, he was a big factor in why the Broncos won against the Patriots with consistent pressure on Brady and even got to Cam and kept pressure on him along with Miller.

Micah can't even keep pace for 4 quarters let alone a decade in the league.

Ware shouldn't be crapped on, and neither should Parsons, but our fans got to fan.

Ware, easily. He was a game-wrecker, and the best pass rusher of his era.
Parsons is excellent, but isn't close to Ware's level. You can make a great case that he's a top-3 player at his position today, but that's it.

The last series in the AFC Championship game Ware just about ran Brady out of the stadium to seal the deal. It was an absolute crime he was not a first Ballot HOF

I'm fine with crapping on Parsons. I don't like his attitude, the flapping his gums on his podcast, or the fact that he is on the sideline gassed by the time the 3rd quarter comes around. I've had issues with his stamina since his second season.

Very talented player and productive but he's not Ware.

You're as bad as those who used to fuss about Ware not making sacks "when it counted." Fans gets their panties in a bunch about a player and can't see straight. Parsons is going hard throughout the game, fighting through blocks, running full speed and constantly getting pressure. Yet, some of you are going to dismiss that because he gets tired and has a podcast.

I don't understand it. It's just inane. It's like the anti-Romo crowd that made up a stat, win-or-go-home games, in order to diminish his play. I sometimes think Dallas fans have gotten what they deserve with Jerry Jones mismanagement these last 30 years.

Parsons because he is not in his prime yet. That 19 sack Ware season was one of best seasons for a pass rusher in NFL history. He lost the defensive player of the year to either a Steeler or a Raven. Good question.

DeWare. This one isn't close.

Ware is easily a top 10 all time edge rusher.

 

[Tabascocat]

Ask me when Micah finishes his prime years…….

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Ware every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Micah couldn't hold D-Ware's jockstrap if his life depended on it.
