Jason Witten, Best TE in the NFL

[Hostile]

All Time Cowboys Receptions

1. Michael Irvin...750
2. Jason Witten...502
3. Drew Pearson...489


All Time TE Receptions

1. Tony Gonzalez...976
2. Shannon Sharpe...815
3. Ozzie Newsome...662
4. Kellen Winslow...541
5. Frank Wycheck...505
6. Jason Witten...502

With 4 more receptions he will move into 5th all time.

By season's end he could catch Winslow if he averaged 10 receptions per game. Not impossible, but highly unlikely.

He has 73 receptions on the season.

27 more for 100 receptions. His best is 96 in 2007. Right now he projects to end up with 97.

29 more would tie the all time record for TEs in one season with 102.

30 more would break the record. That is just under 8 receptions per game.

Don't know about anyone else, but I am rooting for him to get the record.

Oh heck yeah, I'm pulling for him as well. He's just a standup guy that plays hard all the time. One of my favorites on the team.

It's surprising that he is on pace for that many to me....it seems that we got away from him for a while, but he sure did have alot of catches yesterday.

I'd like to see him going down the seam again like he's done in past years....we just haven't seen it as much this year...

go Witt! he played great against the Gmen too. going by his last 2 games it looks like he's gonna give it his all to try and help the team make the playoffs. that pass he caught when he tipped it to himself was sweet.

I love this guy.

As much as I like the amount of catches, I'd like to see him used a bit more vertically. I'd glady sacrifice a catch or two to add a few ypc.

and fwiw...

My Witten authentic jersey that I won came in today woot woot. White Thanksgiving if anybody's wondering

I love watching the guy play. Will never forget him running down field without his helmet. That said everything you ever needed to know about the guy.

 

[wileedog]

Will always be one of my favorite players.

Hes another guy that I feel bad for if he never gets a ring or even a friggin playoff victory.

 

[TheCount]

Hope he gets it, I really like the guy but, and I think he would agree, the indvidual records don't mean much without the team success.

A lot of failures on that all-time tight end list, then.

I don't believe I said anything about failures.

Was there any doubt?


Edit: Oh wait, there was...

Have you seen Shockeys bicepts and Eagle/flag tattooe? Nuff said.

Witten is a beast. He's better than Jay Novacheck. I believe the only piece Cowboys missing to the puzzell is an offensive cordinator and a motivating head coach.

The all-time leaders at tight end for receptions by the end of the season at age 27 --

1. Jason Witten, 502 (four games remaining)
2. Tony Gonzalez, 468
3. Kellen Winslow Sr., 399


Witten easily could end up 50 catches ahead of Gonzalez's pace by the end of this season.

And here's the top five of all-time, regardless of position --

1. Randy Moss, 574
2. Larry Fitzgerald, 509 (one year and four games remaining)
3. Jason Witten, 502 (four games remaining)
4. Andre Johnson, 486
5. Andre Rison, 475

Even if Witten catches and passes Fitzgerald this season (unlikely, but possible), Fitzgerald should move to No. 1 next season. He's only 26 right now. But Witten should stay No. 3 for a while, given that there's nobody in the league right now with a good chance of catching him by age 27.

Enjoy the ride- you're watching a future HOF'er.

 

[SaltwaterServr]

He is one of the greats for certain. We looked long and hard for the next Jay Novacek. I cannot honestly imagine us finding another Jason Witten. It's a great thing to see him play, and is still young.

One thing that occurs to me each time I watch this video is the very classy move by #57 on his tackle method. You can tell he purposely tackled him in a way to cause the least amount of risk of injury to Witten's head. No one ever mentions that it seems.
