I’m not going to act like Witten will be the 2012 version of himself... and I’m sure he even recognizes he’s in the twilight of his NFL career.
But I wish people would quit acting like Witten is useless. His veteran presence and knowledge is still very serviceable. Especially, with two young hopefuls behind him. Witten isn’t going to run past anyone, but his route running and knowledge of the nuances of the game still make him valuable, not to mention.. he instantly is our best blocking TE on the roster. He’s reliable and rarely plays out of position.
So let’s actually show some respect for our future HOF TE. For those that make snarky remarks ab 5 yard routes.. besides the fact that your wrong, you apparently didn't realize how much Scott Linehan scheme had to do with his routes. He can still play... just watch a few plays from his last season.
