Having Witten and Lee on the roster near season's end is very telling

My post in the preseason was met with much derision and fits.
The consensus was that Witten was a superb blocker, had excellent hands and was an on-field coach. (He said years ago he was not there to mentor.)

Also, that Lee's experience and work ethic would inspire the pups Jaylon and LVE and, again, that Lee would be an on-field coach.

I suspect that Jerry's love for these two fossils blinded him to what was in the team's best interests.

Imagine how much better Jarhead and Schultz would be with the snaps Witten wasted.
Imagine how we'd have developed other LBs without Lee taking a roster spot.

Rotten way to manage a team, this compassion for elders!
Having Witten and Lee on the roster was done with the heart, not the intellect, ruffians!
Any other team would have disposed of these two dinosaurs in 2017.

Still wonder why they're still on the roster?

First half vs Rams: Witten makes a one-handed TD catch, Lee picks off a pass to set up a TD.

Big deal.... first game they have shown up for the entire season.

Haha, pretty ironic isn't it? Still believe the TE split should be 50/50, but clearly Witten can still play to the dismay of some. Lol
I’m in the use Jarwin camp play Witten in ciritical short yardage moments and rushing downs.

Props to Lee!
...
Still, as we retool, you want to extend them?
Do you, really?
Quite odd, mate. They are not what you call les triomph du
Both you lads, Lee and Witten, exit in grace. Soon. The future beckons, good lads.
