Im sorry I didnt see anyone call you on that BS so I guess I will.  Tony G a team player!?  LOL! Really?  Your serious?  I think we all will remember Mr. Gonzalez asking to be traded prior to the trade deadline.  Yeah some team player you got there.  That would be quitting on your team making you the complete opposite of a team player.  Some where in the category of a certain WR on Dallas.

Recieving abilites Tony might have Witten but blocking hands down Witten wins that no contest. Whos the better team player? I think we covered that since Tony G clearly is not a team player.

Who would you rather have a guy in Witten entering the prime of his career or an aging  TE at his peak where clearly the only way from here is down?   Tough choice there.

COD, yes it's true that Tony G asked to be traded in the middle of the season. The Chiefs were going nowhere this year and most likely next year too. But since the trade deadline has past, Tony G has been putting up solid numbers (offensively). He's still a probowl type player.

I feel like if you reversed the roles and switched the 2 guys for the opposite team, Gonzalez would be the more valueble one. But not by far. I really think if Jason Witten was on the currents Chiefs team, he wouldn't be as succesful as how he is on the Cowboys. While Gonzalez, if he was on the Cowboys, he still have better numbers than Witten on the Chiefs, even though the Cowboys are much deeper in offensive depth.

So my vote goes to Tony G, but it's a real tight race.

Completely wrong. Look at the other receivers on the Cowboys roster that Romo has to get the ball to as well as Witten. Owens, Roy Williams, Crayton, even Miles Austin and Martellus Bennet get looks as well. Romo spreads the ball around so his stats might not look as good as Gonzalez's this year, but he is def better then Gonzalez. Tony Gonzalez is the only option for the Chiefs. I guess Dwayne Bowe is too, but it seems like the Chiefs quarterbacks get cold feet when trying to throw to a wide reciever. Since Gonzalez is either the only option every play or one of two options every play, of course his stats will be inflated. Witten is on pace to go down as arguably the best Tight End ever to play in the NFL.

Tony Gonzalez is a damn good blocker, has he ever been critisized(sp?) of being a average blocker?  Nope, never.  Witten doesn't "easily" get the edge there, even if he is a better blocker, which is still very debatable.  So everyone, stop with the hands down he's a better blocker.

Jersey, Romo spreads the ball around but Witten is still his #2 look in the offense, he gets tons of looks.  Not to mention the Dallas offense is better which leads to longer drives and more pass attempts.  Romo has 23 more pass attempts than Thigpen, and playing 1 less game.  In a passing offense like Dallas, there is never a shortage of balls.

Tony G. is a team player, never causes drama, always gives it his all.  He asked to be traded near the end of his career?  So what, what HOF player wants to waste away on a awful football team.  Jason Taylor said the same thing, wasn't gonna hold out, wasn't gonna cause problems, wasn't gonna dog it on plays, just asked to be traded.  He asked to be traded, not demanded to be traded.

Tony G has never been critisized for being an average blocker, or for not being a team player.  Guys are crasping at straws here.

Witten has a LONG LONG ways to go to be arguably the best TE to ever play(LOL guys are so far over the top here), while Tony Gonzalez IS arguably the greatest TE to ever play in the NFL.

Gonzalez is better.       Like somebody said, he's a Hall of Famer and even at over 30 yrs old he's still probably the best tight end in the NFL.
 
 
Witten is great but let's see what he is when he is Tony Gonzalez age.

Tony G - 78 rec 879 yards 7 td's

Jason W - 64 rec 771 yards 3td's

Even if Witten was, it's not as absolute as you try and make it out to be.  Nice try, thanks for playing.

Damn.

Tony Gonzales is having one of his most impressive years as he approaches retirement age...I don't think anyone will argue that. He's also doing this with a QB that would be 3rd string on any other team. That alone wins the vote for me, and once you compare their stats this year it confirms it. What did Witten do with Romo out?

HOWEVER, I do think Witten is EASILY the 2nd best TE in the league, and he gives Tony a run for his money. He's still got years left in the NFL, the guy will be a hall of famer as well.

Chance P please shut the fuck up. You are a fucking idiot.


 

Well I guess if you want to talk about YPC being the most important stat then you might want to look at Tony Scheffler and Zach Miller.....Witten is a beast but there are still missing a couple of nice tight ends out there.....U are forgetting about Gonzalez, Heap, Gates, Shockey-when healthy
