DC.com: Consistent Witten On All-Time Pace
Still Rising
Consistent Witten On All-Time Pace Josh Ellis DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/ne...B5300C0B374BE4 IRVING, Texas - The NFL Network's recent poll of his peers has ranked Jason Witten the game's 36th-best player overall - pretty good, but possibly nowhere near what his place among them will be when all is said and done. Still just 29, Witten is doing things statistically that no tight end has ever done, and is on pace to possibly do things as a receiver that no Cowboys has ever done, Bob Hayes, Drew Pearson and Michael Irvin included. A Pro-Bowler every season since his second in the league, Witten has achieved incredible measures of consistency by any standard. Witten concluded the 2010 season with 617 career catches, becoming the fourth tight end in league history to pass the 600 mark, a group that includes Tony Gonzalez as well as Hall-of-Famers Shannon Sharpe and Ozzie Newsome. However, Witten crossed that threshold in 125 games, nine quicker than Gonzalez, the next fastest to the milestone. The record-holder for career catches by a tight end, Gonzalez currently has 1,069, needing only 34 more grabs to pass Marvin Harrison for second in receptions all-time...
There's no right way to do the wrong thing.
To compete for the playoffs, Dallas has to improve here: Only four sacks against Eli Manning over the past six games! |

Well, it'd be nice if Witten finished his career with recognition as one of the all-time greats but with flashier names in the running for that honor, it's anyone's guess if he'll ever really acquire the accolades he so richly deserves. It's a good bet he's a lock to forever retain the respect and admiration of the many thousands of devoted fans of the Dallas Cowboys, however. Count on it.

I think he will get there in Receptions, possibly yards, maybe not the TD's.
I am looking forward to see Dez's climb upward also. He's the true WR we missed since Irvin. Yes, Austin is great, but Dez will soon be the #1 WR. And since he is starting with a lot of playing time from his rookie year, gives him the much better chance over Austin to surpass all the records. As Austin's first 3 years he rarely played. |

All time great Cowboy - already.
  There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings. |
