ugh i'm sorry man

they simply don't know about Idaho

because uh. it's crazy out there. like not in the normal ways

yeah but anyone who watched Shannon Sharpe and Jason Witten knows which of those players is better than the other. and I know you know which of those players was better than the other, by quite a lot

yeah I shouldn't have to. But I shouldn't have to do a lot of things

Jason Witten was a very good football player. Good blocker, good hands. But I think that the Hall of Fame should be reserved for players who offered more than just consistency and longevity. You should have to be more than "pretty good"

I'm not dismissing stats, I'm dismissing the idea that large cumulative totals directly mean he was some sort of game-breaking player, which he wasn't. Tony Gonzalez is in because he very plainly was one of the most dangerous weapons in football for his whole prime. Would you say about about Witten

oh wow

what's good about him? solid blocker, fine reliable receiver. what about him was truly exceptional at any point in his career? I don't like longevity being the main criteria for entry. all his stuff is just accrued counting stats

Eli is whatever, I know I'm swimming upstream there and people only remember two super bowl runs and not how he actually played every other game (shittily). Witten is the one that we should be throwing ourselves on the tracks in front of

because good lord

well. no arguing with that I guess!
