Well, we're almost to our season average with 3:00 to play in the second. 35 Second Quarter points for the Pats. I think they had 42 on the Titans in the snow bowl.

There may be something to that. I like it. Your team scores a POS TD that you know won't stand up on replay. So you throw the challenge flag. Ohh Penalty...no review. Unfortunately I think the interpretation would be that YOU can't benefit from the review, but that the other team probably still would. If it did work, it would earn you a heck of a fine. But it would probably result in a bad rule getting changed mid season rather than waiting until the off season. |

Wouldn't you love to watch the upcoming halftime talk from Rex Ryan? Probably have to do it from behind a couple inches of armor plate to avoid collateral damage from the explosion

Amazing how much more capable Sanchez looks down by 35 with the Patriots no longer applying the same amount of pressure...

Novel idea...feature a talented artist doing songs that people have already heard and like. This is the opposite of the shitty Kid Rock performance.

Rex at halftime: "We've got to stay true to ourselves."
Isn't that what got the Jets in this predicament in the first place?

In what universe is Witten a hall of fame tight end? He's like 8th best in the league RIGHT NOW.
Edit: Ok, maybe 8th was a bit steep. But there are at least four guys I'd put ahead of him (Gonzalez, Gates, Gronk and Davis) who are in the league right now. I don't think he's a hall of famer. Last edited by Vince, Pt. II : 11-22-2012 at 09:24 PM. |

QB controversy aside, why isn't Tebow in as the redzone QB. He is great at that position.

I looked up Witten's stats - he's been quite good for a long time. That being said, he's never been the best at his position ever, and the best he's been is probably the third best TE in the league. This is the perfect quantity vs quality argument.

With only 5 players making it per year, it will take Witten a long long time to get in.

Comparing TEs to Qbs is silly for HOF purposes.

Considering the percentage of QBs who do win a SB, that's not much of a statement.

That surprises me. I don't know the history of football like baseball. I normally just watch the Cowboys game and then casually watch other teams. But Witten has been so damn consistent in Dallas. He might not be the most athletic tight end in the league but he is an excellent blocker and runs great routes. He has been the complete package. Has the tight end position historically been judged based on receiving numbers only? I really don't know. Somebody educate me. |

His career is probably only half over. A lot will depend on what else he does. His 778 catches catches when he is 30 years old has to atleast put him on the Hall of Fame radar. At the moment he couldnt retire and get in but if he should end up with over 1100 receptions and end up 3rd on the All-time reception list he will certainly get a lot of consideration. |

Some food for thought: Kellen Winslow played for a Chargers offense that threw it over 600 times a season and he only had 3 seasons with more than 65 catches. This might be the first season Witten has played on a team that throws it 600 times, and he has caught fewer than 64 balls only once. I'd say they're at the very least comparable as players. Saying this is a passing era doesn't seem to fit when Air Coryell was the same thing to an even greater degree.
Witten probably won't get into the HOF because there are so many other players ahead of him in this era and so few spots to fill, but in my opinion he is good enough to be in.

This. Short of Witten having some amazing playoff games, and a breakout performance in a Super Bowl, he's too overshadowed by Tony Romo and Jerry Jones. Vernon Davis, Tony Gonzales, and Antonio Gates are the only players from his generation with a shot at getting in.

Gates and Witten have virtually identical stat lines and entered the year at the same time. Why would one get in and not the other? EDIT: I apologize, I thought I read the stats that way. Witten has more yards, but Gates has waaaay more TDs - sorry bout that.

Witten needs a 11 catch, 160 yard, 2TD type of super bowl and until that happens, this discussion is futile There's only 5 spots per year. Figure 1QB per year at the minimum. Plus a defensive player or two. Plus guys that didn't get in before. And Whitten only has 42TD catches. He needs to get busy.

Why is Davis even in the discussion? He was an underperforming malcontent early in his career and his stats pale compared to Wittens.
Witten is in his 10th season and Davis in his 7th. Witten has over 400 more catches and over 4,000 more yards while being targeted less than 3oo times more. Davis has a career high in catches of 78. This year will be the 6th year in a row Witten goes over that, has topped 90 3 times and will likely again this year. Not really sure how you even compare the 2. Davis is more on par with Chris Cooley that Witten. |

Additionally, re: Witten/Gates...
For a long time, Gates was considered the "go to" guy on the Chargers. Gates was the primary weapon, and when the Bolts were going to the Playoffs every year, you knew you had to stop LT and Gates. Witten, meanwhile, has never been the #1 guy on his own team. He's always played second fiddle to Owens, Glenn, and Austin. Hell...in his own career, Witten has been the leading receiver on his own team just once. Gates has led the Chargers in receiving five times.

I disagree. Football has never been solely about stats. Davis has been on some of the worst offensive teams in NFL history, but that's not what has defined him. What has defined him is his "rebirth" during the Singletary era, and his off-the-charts performances in the playoffs last season. If the 49ers continue down this road, with Davis being the primary weapon in a rapidly growing passing offense, I wouldn't be surprised to see Davis widely regarded as an all-time TE. Speculative, sure...but he's already accomplished more HoF-wise than Witten. Again, this isn't about stats, but star power. Witten is just too...meek.
