It's not just how many sacks but how dominant you are while you play. It is easy to argue Ware has been the best defensive player in the league for the overall time period 2005-present. I think he made the All-Decade team. He's had a 20 sack season and a 19 sack season.
I think he could be injured today and make it due to the degree of dominance while he was playing.
For me a HOF is a player who was among the top 2 or 3 at his position for at least a few years and or among the top 5-7 for an extended period of time.
Ware is the best defensive player in football since the year he was drafted. There is no other player with a legit case for that distinction. That = HOF.
