Does DeMarcus Ware make the Cowboys Ring of Honor?
Seemed obvious he would, as he was arguably the best defensive player in the league during many of his Cowboys years.
I wonder if the lack of expected drop off in the defense after he left works against him.
Thoughts?

Romo
Ware
Witten



Dez - If he continues his run here and stays injury free
Murray - I think Murray's a 10,000 yard back. If he does it all in dallas, he's in.
T-Williams - all world playoff stud. J/k

Jerry needs to open it up a little more. Guys like Novacek, Newton and Moose need to be recognized for their great contributions. Especially guys like Newton and Nova.

Definitely. Any player that will go into the Hall of Fame, will get inducted into the Ring of Honor 1st.

Everyone's entitled to a wrong opinion.

I've only claimed to be right 99.9% of the time !

It's also a crime that Jimmy's not in. I would've put him in before any body of this era. The media needs to hammer Jerry's butt about this. Put that man in before it's too late for him to enjoy it.

The lack of expected drop off? They were the worst defense in the history of the team when he left.

The defense was bad in 2010 and 2012 with Ware. Certainly worse than the 2014 version.

Ware is the one who stopped playing the run in 2010. #sameintensity

Ware is the one who couldn't keep his containments the last 4 years here. #sameintensity

The 2013 version was historically inept because of Monte Kiffin, not because demarcus ware was injured.

Like Cube said, I don't fall for the okie doke

Is this man actually saying the 2014 defense is the worst in team history? OMG

That's shocking even from him!

Ware will no doubt be in the HOF but it may take awhile for Jerry to induct him into the ROH due to the Cowboys never having much success during his tenure with the team. Ware was part of only one playoff win and only 3 playoff appearances with the team. Every player Jerry has added to the ROH since he's been the owner all have SB rings and he's been partial to the players that helped win him championships. There's only 2 players in the ROH that were never part of a championship with the Cowboys Meredith and Don Perkins but they led the way during the early years to the Cowboys becoming a championship team. The big knock Cowboy fans had with Ware is that although he had a lot of sacks he never made big sacks in critical games and he wasn't a leader.

Even with all his sacks and pressures he never made the Cowboys defense very respectable which is another criticism Cowboys fans had of him. When Ware was released after the 2013 season several threads were started with a number of fans being critical over the lack of big sacks Ware had and questioning him as a leader. I mentioned the big strip sack he had on Drew Brees vs NO in 2009 that sealed that huge win for the Cowboys but outside of that it is hard to come up with another huge sack by Ware in a critical situation in a big game. Ware could end up in the HOF before the ROH which would be odd but it could happen that way.

Agreed, I say no he is not ROH caliber. It's almost as if we didn't have him we would still be 8-8. Great player, just not a difference maker IMO.
