Mistakes happen, every player makes them. You guys are finding a scape goat and magnifying the issue everytime a mistake happens. Let's try an exercise...everytime that Witten does something good, note it (and if you are going to note bad routes, then note the good ones). We all know you note the bad. Add them up and compare.
he has been making 'under the radar' mistakes for 3 years now actually. not sure how many of you listen to Norm post game but he does this "5 hidden plays that changed the game" thing and at least once outta every 2 losses he cites Witten or something negative Witten did yet he's never actually gone off on Witten.
Witten is good for at a very minimum of one penalty per game which often halts some sort of momentum, he's also been good for a few balls hitting him in the hands and goin up in the air for an INT, and some bad routes.
and why should anyone give him credit for running good routes? thats his job and he gets paid well for it and he doesn't even do it that well a lot of the times.
again, nobody is saying Witten is THE problem...we are saying that he always seems to escape criticism, and that he is responsible for a lot of negative plays over the last few years.
if the Cowboys are able to get a 4th rounder for him next offseason they should jump on it. his best days are behind him, and some dumbass team out there might be willing to give up a good draft pick for him based on his past rep.
