In the discussion as top 5 alltime, definitely. Best ever, nah.
I don't think he is top five all time.

Top ten, very debatable. But not top five.

1. Staubach
2. Aikman
3. Lilly
4. Smith
5. Irvin

You can keep going. He is not even close to these five.

It's all subjective. Who's your choice for best ever? Staubauch? Emmitt? Lilly? White? Irvin? There is no right or wrong answer. They're in the discussion. So is Witten.

I think he's in the discussion for top 5. I didn't say he was in the top 5. I don't think it's as big of a gap between those 5 and him as you do, obviously.

One thing missing. Oh yeah. Real success. Like a ring.

Not for best ever. Yes, there are a few players that are in the discussion for best ever, but he's not in it, IMO.

An old guy like me might even throw in Walt Garrison or Leroy Jordan n the mix.

I love Witten too, but frankly, he takes a big step back in terms of an all timer in this team's history.

Best TE in Dallas, sure. But that's where it ends.

I didn't say that. I was only going by the criteria YOU set.
In our history? One with all timer rushing leaders and Hall of Famers. Guys who won championships, not the pretty damn great TE on a bunch of mediocre teams.

You are injecting Witten into that realm.

Sorry.

He's going to have a bit of a wait for the Hall of Fame as well.

If we were the damn Jaguars, he's atop the list.

I put Dorsett at 5.

Impressive spin out.

Dorsett would probably be six for me. More productive than Irvin, but you can't tell me Irvin's intangibles didn't have an effect on team success.

Once you get past Dorsett, there are few others I would put on a higher tier. Randy White for example.

If that was a spin out, I was Romo and you were J.J. Watt.
Well according to most, Romo is a choking stat compiler and Watt is an all timer. So, thank you.

FACE! Stay dooooown, booznatch!

Oh. So Marino isn't in the discussion as the best QB ever?

Noted.
Different position. There is much more impact that comes from the QB position than the TE.
