Impossible, there's a thread on the first page that says he's not a game-changer

Congrats #94, you're sure to make it

I really hope Zach Thomas gets in sooner than later. He was up there with Urlacher and Lewis IMO. Just didn't have the offense support when the Dolphins defense was a difference maker.


Anywho, Ware should be a first ballot guy.

 

[VaqueroTD]

He's a lock. Congrats! Wish we still had him in his prime.

One of our best draft picks ever. Looking back, incredible to realize Cowboys were debating Ware or Spears as the first pick in that round.

Those Parcells/Wade teams and the HOF - TO already there. Witten and Ware going in. I think eventually Romo gets there, hard to tell with so many QBs putting up big yards now.

Zach just went in.

Edit - nevermind, was confusing it with Jimmy's remark about his snub. You're right. He should be there

 

[ShortRound]

First ballot easy

That is a pretty good list.

My defensive picks are:

• Ware (obviously)
• Zach Thomas (All 2000's team, 7x Pro Bowl, 5x All Pro, just never was surrounded by good teams)
• La’Roi Glover (Glover was "Aaron Donald ish" before Aaron Donald was a thing, also a victim of being on not-so-good teams)
• Patrick Willis (Didn't play long (8 seasons) but was arguably the best "off the line" LB in 7 of his 8 career years)

Gezz, I'm such a Cowboys homer.


But if I had to cut down to just 3, Glover would be the cut. But I wouldn't be happy about it.

First ballot easy

My defensive picks are:

• Ware (obviously)

I will not bet against him but I will be highly upset if he does not make the semi-finalist round at the very least.

I hope Ware gets in!! I'm also rooting for Casey Hampton as he's from my home town. Not sure if he's going to make it, though.

 

[SlammedZero]

Warewolf!!!

He is a lock but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not first ballot

That he probably does but not sure he goes in first ballot

Probably not but a very good player
