Ware & Witten are 2 of those players, they will go down as the best we have ever had and I have been watching the Cowboys for 35 years.
I love Jason Witten as much as the next guy, but he's not on the same level as Ware in terms of legacy and how they impacted the game. Barring some sort of injury, Ware will likely go down as one of the 5 greatest pass rushers of all time. LT, White, Smith, Deacon and Ware. He's a generational talent.
I'm excited to see how he makes the transition to DE. There haven't been many, if any, players who have played at a HOF level at both OLB and DE. Ware has a chance to do that.

DeMarcus Ware No. 12 on NFL top players list; Warren Sapp: Ware needs to be a ‘more demonstrative’ leader

During his video highlight clip, former Cowboys teammate Martellus Bennett called Ware a “genetic mutant” that opponents can’t do anything about.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway said, “I think the best pure pass rusher would have to be DeMarcus Ware. Ten, 12, 14 sacks, he’s legitimate every year.”
During the hour-long show to discuss players 11-20 on the list, it was mentioned that Ware has fallen behind Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, the 2012 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, as the best pass rusher in the state of Texas.
Hall of Fame defensive tackle Warren Sapp quickly came to Ware’s defense.
“Let’s not be so quick to anoint J.J. Watt the best pass rusher in the state of Texas just yet,” Sapp said. “When you get to triple digits [in sacks] … and they’re still getting double digits every year, I’m going to wait until he is thrown off the throne and not just dethroned. J.J. Watt’s good but he’s no DeMarcus Ware going after the quarterback, yet.”

I'm a huge fan of Ware's, but I don't personally view him as a top 15 player in the league.
