Now that’s an example of what I’ve been talking about. Leadership. We have one of the youngest teams in the NFL. We need leaders like Witten. Ignorant fools are focusing on his speed. Ignorant fans don’t realize what Witten brings to the table leadership wise. Of course they don’t. They’ve been playing video games all their lives and have no clue.

I hear you Rock, and I respect Witten’s leadership. But one thing we cannot say this team has had the last 20 years+ from its players, coaches and certainly not management is EFFECTIVE leadership. The kind of leadership this team needs would be able to bring two things:

1. Total accountability- top to bottom, bottom to top. Everyone in the organization is accountable.
2. No excuses accepted. When we lose, there are no “moral victories” or “things to feel good about”. Leaders don’t accept excuses.

When Jerry says Witten brings leadership to the locker room, I believe it’s true. But Jason Witten’s leadership or any other person’s leadership associated with team hasn’t brought enough to make the kind of difference that transforms this team from its 23 year playoff misery. That’s not Jason Witten’s fault. But this organization’s leadership problems are not going to get fixed by The return of a 37 year old TE.

It happens in the market. The Seahawks recently did it once Graham was gone. They paid a journeyman Ed Dickson the equivalent guaranteed amount to be a stop gap, then picked a TE in the 4th last year. Would not be shocked if we did the same.

The leader of this team isn't any player or coach, that's the problem. When the owner appoints himself the face of the franchise, he is the leader. That's the role he's chosen for himself, he's the cheerleader in the locker room. All others will acquiesce to Booger as the leader, there's not another sports team like it.

...and this is why the team needs Witten back....could you imagine Opie (JG) getting in anyone's face? no, he is just sitting back waiting for the Jones' to get him to the Super Bowl

I don't give a damn about anybody behind the scenes. If they are holding us back the field they should not be here.
Teams can cover him with a DE if they wanted too.
keep this crap up Jerry and you'll croak before you ever see another bowl .

So who do you think the player was?

Wow, Witten is such a "leader."

Am I the only one who thinks this story is completely meaningless.

Witten won like 1 or 2 playoff games his entire career and he played longer than Romo.

Witten is such an over rated player.

I agree, this young core hasn't been exposed to "Witten" leadership before, you watch us take off now. Lol

I understand the mainstream sports media has crapped all over the Witten signing and fans that get their takes only from them believe it. It saddens me, but I understand it.

Was Jerry drunk when he gave this quote, cause what he says Witten yelled makes no damn sense.
