Nope, I think Witten is the best all around TE of all time and a slam dunk first ballot choice.Bipo? Is that you?
But he probably won't get in first ballot because he isn't a glorified WR.

Witten has put up better numbers and has had more elite level seasons, is 2 years younger and hasn't fallen off as sharply.Gates has been a monster. I love Witten, but he's nowhere near the redzone weapon Gates has been.
Had Gates played in NY or NE (or Dallas) he'd be a legend.
I don't think he'll be a 1st ballot HOF choice either btu I think he certainly gets in at some point.Nope, I think Witten is the best all around TE of all time and a slam dunk first ballot choice.

the problem is that he's a boring compiler, not a dynamic YAC/RZ guy. so yeah, no first ballot for him.I claim hyperbole. Witten gets in HOF, but will wait 5+ years. Definitely in a higher tier than Derrick Johnson when it comes to HOF consideration, though.
Safe bet. Every player has a 5 year waiting period from their retirement from the NFL.I claim hyperbole. Witten gets in HOF, but will wait 5+ years. Definitely in a higher tier than Derrick Johnson when it comes to HOF consideration, though.
Excellent choice. Hyperbole claims are sadly underutilized.I claim hyperbole. Witten gets in HOF, but will wait 5+ years. Definitely in a higher tier than Derrick Johnson when it comes to HOF consideration, though.
To clarify, 5+ years after he's first eligible, so not 1st or 2nd ballot as most here have predicted.Safe bet. Every player has a 5 year waiting period from their retirement from the NFL.
I think both are clearly first ballot HOFers. Both do everything well and have for a long time and no one not named Gronk is going to challenge their caliber of greatness for many years.Witten has put up better numbers and has had more elite level seasons, is 2 years younger and hasn't fallen off as sharply.
I don't think it's where they've played; Witten has simply been better.
True, won't have longevity but won Superbowl. Also already more TDs than Witten. Greatness more important than longevity anyway.Gronk=injury prone. Will never live up to expections long term or get near the numbers of the other 2.
Yards and receptions are more important than touchdowns. TDs aren't the only stat.True, won't have longevity but won Superbowl. Also already more TDs than Witten. Greatness more important than longevity anyway.
