NFL Thread v5: RIP Revis Island?

[MarkyMcFly]

He's not top 5. He's borderline but he's outside the top 5. If you think otherwise, it's probably due to Jerry Jones balls in your mouth, clouding your judgement.

Most catches by a tight end in a season
Most catches by a tight end in a game
2nd most catches and yards by a TE in history
1 of only 2 TE's with over a 1000 catches
9th on the All Time catches list
Hasn't missed a game since his rookie season
10 time pro-bowler

Lol it's one thing to disagree, but you guys love to say my judgement is clouded. The numbers speak for themselves. If you can't see that, it's you that's got some judgement issues.

Everyone in the world knows TDs > receptions.

Witten is a HOF'er, super durable and well rounded, just not top 5.

Witten's 3 TD's away from passing Shannon Sharpe for 3rd, behind Tony G and Gates.


Edit, 4th. how did I forget Gronk

And if we are being honest, most people would bet that Gates, Witten and Tony will all be tied in one thing when their career is over.

0 rings.

 

[El Chimpo]

who do you put above him?


theres Sharpe, Gronk, Tony G, possibly Gates???

 

[El Chimpo]

far from a cowboys fan...but wittens pretty damn great

 

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

Jason "Ol' Reliable" Witten is a Top 5 TE all-time, no question. Constant, steady production year after year with fantastic durability.

Ditka, Winslow, Newsome, Mackey...

Casper/Christiansen are other guys who id probably put below Witten but they're right there to round out the top 10.

while those guys are great and all HoF'ers

wittens numbers alone put him above them... similar to Terrell Owens, the numbers should speak for themselves

witten might only have 60tds , but he does have the 9th most receptions of all time...and thats pretty huge, hes a consistent receiver and reliable

You can't measure players of different eras by the same stats, otherwise we are currently playing with all the greatest QBs of all time. Clearly that's not the case.

Witten has some of the best hands of all time.

Id like to see his career drop % with ATGs. Including receivers.

 

[PUO3]

Von kills me lol.

 

[Urijah Bieber]

spencer ware vs texans or blount vs dolphins

 

[FLYOVER BOSSMAN]

Lol damn. Ok, I admit. I spoke out of turn with the "Never had that part to his game" comment on Tony G. He was a good blocker, I even went back and looked on the ol' google machine and researched it myself. I was wrong there, there's just always been that cliche' in my brain that Tony never really blocked.

The bold is all that really needed to be said.

It's subjective, of course, anyone's top players list.

In this case it's not

I will say if you don't think Witten's even a top 5 TE all time, that's pretty stupid.

Don't turn this around on us, ever, at any point, in any dimension, in any universe.

 

[ThinkGreen]

Norman is such a douche.

Redskins CB Josh Norman told ESPN's Ed Werder that his "office is on the left side of the field, hours are 1 to 4."

I cant wait for the day when Stafford retires to see his counting stats and how it'll blow away many HOFers lmao

 

[PUO3]

Norman is such a douche.

Lol.

I dont get why he isnt following the 1s but whatever. Guess the Skins think they are the Seahawks.

 

[Dizzy]

Lol.

He can't, simple as that.

 

[jrams]

Lol.

I dont get why he isnt following the 1s but whatever. Guess the Skins think they are the Seahawks.

Has having your CBs shadowing a receiver ever worked outside of Revis? Seems like a stupid pride thing that people want their guy to shutdown the top guy, when it puts the rest of the defense in unfamiliar positions.

Of course not...but wittens way more talented than those other TEs... hes got ridiculous hands for a TE.. top 5 easily imo
