Can Witten's return to football hurt his assumed HoF status?

[JoeKing]

I think most everyone assumes Witten is currently a guaranteed HOF'er someday. Is there any way that his return to football can hurt his assumed HOF status?

I don't think so... He's already proven himself.... Do I think it's insane that he's coming back? Yes... I love the fact that he's on the team. Don't get me wrong... I would just rather it being in a coaching role of some sort... He's too old to be out there putting his body through war again...

Nope.

Michael Jordan came back after three years for two seasons in his late 30's. Does anyone even remember that?

 

[Flamma]

It only postpones it.

 

[GenoT]

Don’t think so.

Witten has too much pride to keep playing if he can’t produce; even if he only plays a limited amount of snaps.

The only other way he can tarnish his rep is if he screws up off the field — which ain’t gonna happen.

 

[Rayman70]

no. end of discussion. NEXT

You must be joeking.

 

[Risen Star]

Watch him compare Jason Witten to Michael Jordan.

Nope.

Really take a moment to breathe that one in.

Jordan, Witten. Witten, Jordan. It's the same thing.

No. Lol

When he's finally ready to hang them up he will wait his 5 years and be inducted...

 

[Killerinstinct]

No matter what his numbers are this year they will only add to the career totals. He is a lock.

As a TE he ranks right up there in catches with some of the best WRs that are in the HOF. It's a wrap.....HOFer in waiting

No.......he's secured.

 

[jazzcat22]

After he helps the Cowboys win the Sb, it will only solidify his induction. Which is already solid.

 

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

Nah, a lot of HOF athletes hang on too long. Doesn't stop them from getting in.

I don't think it will. I don't think Witten would return if he felt he could not do the job. It sure is not about the money. His ability as a blocker and sure handed receiver I think can still help this team.

 

[Joe Realist]

I still think Witten is not going to make it. Instead of being cut, he will retire in August and join the coaching staff.

 

[TheCoolFan]

It only hurt his chances at making the HOF as a broadcaster one day

No

If we go 5-11 and he only gets 20 catches for 199 yards and 0 tds he’s still going in the hall
