You know at one time I didn;t want to admitt it, but it is becomming more and more evident that Dallas should have taken Shawne Merriman...it absolutly pains me to say that!.....AHHHHH!!!

Maybe I'm motivating too many people to say things they don't want to admit........;)
 
One game in primetime against the worst team in football and people are lined up in a row to take turns fluffing him.
 
Those eagles have an incredible pass rush ..... did you see how they manhandled Houstons O-line ..... we should have drafted all those guys....

:D

I like Ware better, cuz he's not half bad, and is a Cowboy

sue me

If it makes it easier to sleep at night, go for it.

I do agree with the ware is a better LB (although since merrriman has more experience there, the space between them is thin), merriman is a better pass rusher. But I will say this, in the 3-4, the better pass rusher is far, far harder to find. There are good LBs out there, but few can get to the QB like Merriman.

Ware can get to the QB too, and he's more well-rounded, after all, Merriman is a LB, they're supposed to do other things than rush the passer

but hey, salivating over a player as good as the one we got, on another team, more power to you

It comes down to if you want to be a hometown jack of all trades physican, or a brain surgeon who is the best at a certain thing.

We need to be more aggressive on D......jesus, wish I had (fantasy) the chargers D tonight, lol.
 
the brain surgeon is just harder to find, and people who can get to the QB like merriman are harder to find also.
 
I for one thought the Cowboys would have drafted Merriman over Ware to be honest, I mean you look at this kids motor and power and you think of Lawrence Taylor and Derrick Thomas all in one!

if the jack of all trades gets the job done

I just don't understand why you guys are faulting Ware for doing what is asked of him

Ware is a better Linebacker and will prolly be a better Pass Rusher in a year.

Ware isn't half the player that Merriman is. Merriman is a beast. Not to detract from Ware -- he's a very good player, but Merriman is way better. 12 teams are kicking themselves for not drafting him. Mario Williams went #1 overall this year, and Merriman should have gone #1 overall last year.
 
you mean 10 teams, cuz Dallas certainly isn't, and how come the Chargers are kicking themselves?
