Battle of the NFC East: Tight End

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Just a question, is it the hype that makes people put Witten as the best TE in football? I agree with the above where I think that Witten and Cooley are about identical TEs. Witten might block better but Cooley runs better after the catch.

I always get sick of hearing how he's the best TE in football without Cooley in the discussion.

That being said, Gonzo and Gates are still the top two without even mentioning Cooley or Witten.

Nobody outside of Dallas thinks Witten is the best TE in football. The best TE in football is either Antonio Gates or Tony Gonzalez. Witten has definitely been the best TE in the NFC for years, which is what I wrote. We'll see if Gonzo, now with the Falcons, can knock Witten or Cooley out of the Pro Bowl.
