You cant be serious. You ever hear the term quality over quantity? Whitten caught a bunch of tiny passes and scored no TDS in a losing effort. People are right we do have the worst fans. Fans that look for pimples on supermodels' butts. Half of our fans are as good as any in sports the rest are self-hating hand wringing sissy nannies.

IMO, it's Welker. Moving the chains is of greater value to most offenses: it lets you win the TOP battle, rest your defense, and wear out opposing defenses.
This is NOT based on observing the game, but rather, it is based on the statistics of these two players only. It also not based on Romo, Brady, supporting casts, coaching, or outcomes. It is more of a philosophical question. If you saw both of these stat lines and knew nothing about the game, which player's production would you presume led to a greater chance of victory?
Also, touchdowns are irrelevant for the sake of this analysis.
Can anyone read?
That's like saying you should discount any homeruns when comparing baseball players.
Based on these stats who would you say had the better offensive season in 2012?
Player A .280 batting average 152 hits
Player B .316 batting average 216 hits
Who helped their team more and had the better season?
But now let's look at the actual WHOLE picture
Player A .280 batting average 152 hits 42 homeruns - Edwin Encarnacion
Player B .316 batting average 216 hits 15 homeruns - Derek Jeter
Yeah, disallowing consideration of touchdowns is just as bad as disallowing consideration of homeruns. Those plays directly affect the scoreboard, vs just advancing field position or getting on the basepaths into scoring position. It just does not work.
Gronk had a dominating day, and taking his 2 TDs out of the equation does not allow for a realistic evaluation of his impact on the game. He is a dominant redzone target who is already in the top 10 of all-time in receiving TDs in his first 3 seasons. Don't discount the ability to score TDs because it just does not allow for realistic evaluation of offensive value.
BTW didn't you already unearth a small clue onto whose value is more important?
Gronk - Yards per target: 11.23
Witten- Yards per target: 7.59
Gronk by definition had a more efficient outing. Each time you targeted Gronk your average reward per play nets a 1st down or better. Witten could leave you short of the 1st down. Even with the gimped criteria of not counting actual scoring ability, it's obvious that if BOTH players were options on the same team in the same game with the above results, you'd want to toss it at Gronk every time over Witten if you could. He's that MUCH better of an option.
Of course I'm serious. And your post is nothing even approaching a rebuttal, so I'll take it with the grain of salt it deserves. Frankly, I don't think it's even worth that much, but I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Let me ... Whitten.
...And another troll goes to the ignore list.
Using ONLY these stats:
21 less yards and 10 less receptions = greater efficiency.
Greater chance of victory must be Gronk.
If I was a troll I might actually care. You're just mad because I'm right. Every single fact disputes what you say, yet you still chose a has been Cowboy over the most dominant TE to ever live who happens to be on the team that you supposedly root for. A troll is someone who has thousands of posts on a forum of a team they obviously root against.
Jason Witten-- 22 targets, 18 receptions, 167 yards
