And again, in '15 he showed the ability to be a real hammer as well as good vision.
If you just look at his brief playing time at LSU and his '15 tape in KC, you'd say that he has tools easily on par with any of the remaining backs in this class. Now granted, that requires you ignore the last 10 weeks of the season where he just didn't look right, but I think that's a risk you can take.
It's a baseball axiom but when a player demonstrates a tool, you operate under the assumption that the tool still exists until age or injury takes it away. Well there were no injuries for Ware and he has very few miles on the odometer. So I think you have to act as though those tools are still there - at least for one more year.
And if you do that, there's little reason to believe that Ware can't be a #1 back. He absolutely looked the part in '15 and for the first few weeks of '16. Something just went off the rails mid-year. I'm not smart enough to know what that may have been.

Alex Smith?
Give Ware a shot with a real QB and I think the dude can be a 1,000+ yard back every season. FFS....how many times did Smith overthrow Ware on gimme passes?
