What does Jason Witten say to those who think the Cowboys should just play for a better draft pick?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I wouldn't expect the players to say it. Wanting to win and actually doing it are 2 different things.

 

[CashMan]

Get ready for the #15th pick, instead of the #5ish...

Problem is Jason, this team has already shown us what they are all about.

 

[John813]

Of course the players want to win. Any player dogging it out there will be one step closer to be being out the NFL.

Empty the bucket, Jason!

That 'too much fight' comment is a lot easier to buy if he's not wearing that stupid hat.

 

[Doomsday]

Players should play to win, fans on the other hand are going to root for what they think is best and right now that feels like a top 5 draft pick to me.

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah that's what a player says. It's meaningless to whether it's the best thing for the team going forward.

Go Commanders.

I'm a radical fan in the sense that I'm willing to hope we lose for a better draft pick.

I don't feel like the players should not try though. I can't imagine being a player and doing that myself.


I do however wish that the coaches don't play as many vets and let younger guys sink or swim.


More Escobar, Butler, Street, Moore, Green and just guys like that.

The vets had their chance. Let the young guys have a shot now.

i feel like i've heard this same quote from him a dozen times over his career.

Go Commanders.

You really should be banned. I'm starting a petition to revoke your likes. 10 for each comment that has the word Go and Commanders in it every time. 20 if more than three times.

If they played to lose they would probably end up winning the next 5 games and make the playoffs. Just look what happened when they played to win those 7 weeks.

I actually believe he can't take that approach.
Won't.

If I was on the team I want to win.
It sucks that it ain't for much but I couldn't go half speed.

All out or take me off the field.

The draft will work itself out without me.

 

[Idgit]

Just looking at that hat agin. Now I want to fight him.

the dogging on Witten here is a head scratcher. Despite what's thought of this team as a whole and the effort of any particular players, I take Witten's words at face value. He is straight up class, a perennial professional.

I don't really want to fight him.
Though, I normally do want to fight any adult male I see wearing a Santa Hat if he's not actually Santa or a mall Santa, or doing a play about Santa or something like that.

I hear what you say, but can't help but feel that the talent is there but we lack the coaching to get the wins....with or without Tony.
