I play standard scoring man. 5 points out of a kicker is underachieving much less a TE of Witten's status.

I'll see your Witten and raise you a Tony G.
Traded for him and he has done nothing of value since.

He's a TE... Can't expect much more than 50 yards. If he'd have caught a TD you'd have started a Witten appreciation thread...

I expect 50 yards out of guys like Pettigrew, Gresham, and Miller not Witten. Keep in mind 18 of those yards came in the last 17 seconds, so I expect a little more than 33 yards in the other 59 minutes and 43 seconds.

So what do you expect out of Witten? Do you realize his best season as a pro, he averaged 70 yards per game? 2 more points...is that enough to bring him from Bust to a 'great game during a career year'? The past 4 years averaged out, he averaged about 62 yards per game. Thats only 12 yards away from being a 'bust' in your eyes. Maybe you should do a little research before you expect a player to exceed his potential.

That's about what I expect with a couple of touchdowns mixed in. But do you realize he only has one of those this year? Do you realize when it came? Do you realize that he was relatively quiet all game? Do you realize the difference between averaging 70 yards over a season and 50? Maybe you should do a little math.

What do you expect out of Witten?

I meant throughout the season. Witten still is a crucial part of the Dallas offense and not to expect touchdowns because he hasn't produced in an injury riddled season is kind of a stretch eh?

So you are saying he should have a the best season of his career.

Definitely. But is 50 yards compared to 70 yards IN ONE GAME make someone go from a bust to a career year game? If you want to complain about an entire season, start the official season bust thread. Not week 9 bust thread. 2 points isn't the difference between bust and awesome.

I expect about average or a little below average for him. 55-60 yards per game. A lot of Wittens past production came with Miles Austin injured the past 3 years and before Dez.
