Ware, No surgery scheduled

[Beast_from_East]

What I'm concerned about is that he waits until training camp is almost here, then suddenly he or someone else decides that he needs surgery after all. That leads to him missing or limited during training camp or maybe even the start of the season, then we hear all season how his recovery from surgery and lack of training camp is why he's not playing well next season.

Seems to have plenty of time to go boar hunting................cant let surgery interfere with that.

I am not clowning him. I just think that if he does not take a paycut...we should move on. And I took the Jerry-views-Cowboys-as-enterainment angle because I am amazed how anyone in this era of Cowboys football can be mentioned in the same sentence with Hall of Fame. The fact that we think anyone on this roster is a hall of fame player speaks to how Jerry has been able to get some fans to view this as something other than success on the field. Great player in his prime. Not much of a leader. Not much of a winner. And for Cowboy fans that have witnessed true Hall of Fame players....we all know that physical ability does not comprise the entire equation. I could go on and on...but I was done with this group when Keith Brooking came to the team and was IMMEDIATELY elevated to team leader. Look at the Steelers, Pats, Giants.....teams with multiple Super Bowls in the past 10 years....NEVER...NEVER have the held on to players....win or lose. And they win/won. We trot out the SAME core...that has not ever won NOR made a Super Bowl run...so why keep rewarding this nonsense?!

I didn't mean to suggest you were clowning him. You quoted a post where I was reacted to another poster clowning him.

I can respect your take on the HoF worthiness of Ware, even if I don't quite agree. He's a borderline case, at best, to-date. He's still been a great player for us, though, which is really the point. Calling him names now that he's no longer able to produce like he used to is unnecessary.

People take it too personally. It's a business. He is getting insanely compensated for his hard work. Millions of people put in just as much hard work and make 1/2 of 1% of what he makes. I don't feel sorry for him when his career is over. Teams cannot afford to overpay for past production. They can barely afford to pay market value for 3-5 players. They need to get tremendous production from players on their rookie deals and players on their second contracts. Third contracts need to paid by other teams.

All of this is true, and and all of this I've agreed with, above. My point in the post above that got quoted is that suggestions that he's somehow a bum all of a sudden, or calling him 'Demarcus Where?' is unnecessary. He's not worth what he's getting paid, and we have to be grown ups about that and renegotiate him, or move him.

I must've missed that remark. You are 100% that is completely unnecessary. He's been a class act and a hard worker.
