I would go in as a Bronco if I was him.

I get that you're mad at the Cowboys (who isn't?), but that's really a silly statement.

Ware with the Cowboys ..

Defensive Rookie of the Year
All-Pro = 7 times
Pro Bowl = 7 times
Sacks = 117
Games = 140

Ware with the Broncos ...

Pro Bowl = 2 times
21.5 sacks
33 games

Playing on the Broncos helped him get a Super Bowl ring (which is awesome), but his Hall of Fame career happened while he was with the Cowboys.

Broncos fans forgot about Ware the moment he retired while Cowboys fans still talk about him.

The Broncos defensive player their fans will love and remember from that Super Bowl team when he gets into the Hall of Fame will be Von Miller.

This isn't true. They freakin' love Ware and how he helped Von Miller blossom into a leader. Ware was also a monster in the 2015 playoffs.

They loved him when he was playing for them, absolutely, but I said once he retired.

They are currently celebrating his induction into the HOF the same as us on the Denver subreddit - many having comments like Hardline that he should go in as a Broncos since they got him something the Cowboys couldn't.

But I agree, he should go in a Cowboy and it's pretty clear he will since Jones broke the news to him (also the one who pushed to draft him)

Well of course they love him now because all fans want to brag about their team's Hall of Fame players.

In any case, since players don't actually choose a team to represent in the Hall of Fame, it really does not matter.

That said, I am glad that he got a Super Bowl ring even though it was with another team.

There are some great Cowboys players over the last 28 years who have deserved one and I wish some of them could have gotten one as well.

Ware showing a glimpse in the preseason from his first season ..

That interception was awesome.

You don't go IN as anything....but his stats came from the Cowboys. Let's be real here......

Haven’t we all discussed this before…..a player doesn’t actually go into the HOF as this team or that team. It is an individual honor. There’s no jersey or Logo. The only hint of where a guy’s loyalty lies is in whom he asks to introduce him and what part of his career he talks about most in his speech. Neither his bust nor his gold jacket has any indication of what team he played for. So it’s not really even a choice to be made.

His ring came from the Broncos. And Hall of Famers are identified with a team/

I mentioned that earlier in the thread

It's more about fans claiming players than anything really.

Enshrinees do not go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of a certain team. Rather, all of an enshrinee's affiliations are listed equally.

Even if they did....he didn't got into the Hall of Fame because of his ring he went in because of all those sacks he piled up in Dallas. I get it we are suppose to be anti-Cowboys but I mean the proof is here.

It gets mentioned literally every year, and people still don't get it thru their heads.

I assume there is way more money to be had associating as s Dallas Cowboy.

You go into the hall of fame with no team designation, that’s the way it should be…but we all know his hall of fame career happened in Dallas…including Ware. Congrats DeMarcus well deserved.

Which is why he retired a cowboy.
