ReutersCowboys tight end Jason Witten has two words for anyone in Dallas who doesn’t believe they can win the Super Bowl: Get out.
Asked on the Ben & Skin Show about Cowboys owner Jerry Jones saying they can win the Super Bowl this year, Witten said that’s what everyone in the Cowboys’ locker room should believe.
“Yeah, every man in this room should believe that,” Witten said, via ESPNDallas.com. “If you don’t, get out of here. But you have to go prove it every week. A lot of games we’ve done good things and a lot of things we have to improve on. Absolutely. Did the Giants think it at 7-7? That’s the way this league goes. I’m not saying that’s the formula for doing it. You have to still win games. Let’s get it corrected. We feel we have the men in this room who can do it. Now you have to go show it.”
Witten said he appreciates Jones’s attitude.
“I think he’s trying to be optimistic,” Witten said. “I think he watches the tape and sees that we’re doing a lot of good things. I don’t think it’s more than that. I don’t think he’s trying to build us up or anything like that.”
So there’s plenty of optimism to go around in Dallas right now. A loss to the Panthers on Sunday would probably change that.

I wouldn’t have wanted to be standing in front of an exit when he made that comment.
Let’s go Panthers!
> out
he’s funny
I’m out.
I’m out!
uh, “Im Out”!
See ya.
I know a lot of Cowboy haters will come on here and say that the Cowboys don’t have a chance, and maybe they don’t, but I’m glad there is someone on my favorite team that actually has pride in his work. Jason Witten will always be my favorite Cowboys because he works hard, is a warrior, and bleeds blue and silver.
Fine, I’ll leave, and start my own crappy, overrated football team….with Blackjack and Hookers.
Welp…See ya later!
As long as Jerry is the Cowboys GM;the only way the cowboys are in the Super Bowl is if they buy a ticket.Jerry,hire a coach and Gm then work the finances as an owner and leave the football to football people.
I’m a Cowboys fan and…… I’m leaving
Jason Witten for president!
and Sean Lee as VP while we are at it.
I’m out! Your team’s a joke and it starts at the TOP!
It should be Jerry at the front of that parade.
The Vikings will finish better than those Texas hacks.
Shots fired… there is blood in the water for snake in the grass head coach
Jerry Jones locked all the exits and had tear gas ready prior to Witten making that statement!
Giants Fan here.
Hate Cowboys. Respect Witten.
Witten asked Jerry to Lock all the exits prior to his statement!
uhh Jason, your Head Coach is not focused on winning a championship..stay focused on the team goals, and thats to get better each week, but forget about a championship
Hawk Harrelson just said “HE GONE!”
Its raining outside….
This Cowboys team absolutely beat the Ravens up and down the field last Sunday. They out physical’d the “most physical” D in the league. They lost the game because of some inconsistency in the passing game, and MOST IMPORTANTLY because after they battled for close to 60 minutes they asked their kicker to come in the game and simply do what he’s paid to do; make the field goal. He failed, and the team lost a game in which they clearly outplayed their opponent. That happens sometimes in football, but it seems to happen more often to this incarnation of the Dallas Cowboys. I like to Cowboys. I like Jason Witten, and Sean Lee and Dez Bryant is an incredible if inconsistent talent, blah, blah, blah… but there is something off here. Sorry Witten, but I do not believe this team can win a SB. I hope you prove me wrong…
“Jason Witten: If you don’t believe we can win the Super Bowl, get out”
================================
I’m getting out…
I’ll show myself out.

@ bcdeputy, save a seat for me, would ya?
Long time Cowboys fan, but if they don’t play any better in the near future, this season will be over. They better win this weekend, because the next three games after are tough.
I just left!
I’m a Giant fan and have no love at all for the Cowboys. But Witten is 1000% right, the players should believe they can go to the SB. Players should always have more belief in itsself more than ousiders do.
That’s completely different than thinking they will actually make the SB. But maybe Bennett will give them some of his SB tickets.
I’ll try not to let the door hit me on the way out.
Sounds like this is the cowboys version of “take a chill pill”.
it’s time for me to get the heck out of here!
In unrelated news…. The airline and bus business is BOOMING!!!
with romo… everyone should get out!
Romo is asking where’s the exit door.
I was wondering when I was going to get my weekly “we’re better than the vast majority think” article from Witten on the state of the Cowboys.
Until next time…
Ninerdynasty,
Quiet down over there. Alex Smith isn’t a good QB. Your team would be a dominant force with Romo as your QB.
I believe they can… there aren’t any rules expressly prohibiting it… but will they? Ha. No.
it’s not over until it’s over. everybody should know that by now

*****
Harbaugh would eviscerate Romo by halftime of the first game.
Left a long time ago
I left at the beginning of the season.
Yes he would take Romo out because he would have thrown 3 TD’s and a back up would be in to take the rest of the 4th quarter garbage time.
You’ll never win the Super Bowl if your first concern isn’t your next game. (That and if your owner can’t keep his mouth shut causing distractions)
I like Witten’s attitude. Like many other NFL teams, Dallas has struggled bu they aren’t eliminated yet.
The ‘boys haven’t made the playsoffs in, what, 15 years?
Baby steps, boys. Baby steps.
I take it back, they won a playoff game in 2009. But before that, they hadn’t won a playoff game since 1996.
Did anyone show up to Cowboys practice besides Witten and Jerry Jones today then?
Can’t stand the cowboys but witten is an amazing player and His talent is being wasted in ego land
Will the last one here please turn out the lights.
Thank you
Witten has missed only one game in his entire career. And that was because of a broken jaw. So he, if anybody, can say whatever he wants too. First Ballot Hall Of Famer too.
Not a
Not a big Cowboys fan here, but Whitten have a valid point. If anyone on any team thinks they can’t win they shouldn’t be there!! That being said I don’t think they have a prayer of winning one anytime soon.
Most of the players have never been in.
12 seconds later only Witten and Jerry Jones were still in the room……..
Ok i’m getting out
Cowboys are a great team and they have a chance to go into the playoffs! It’s any given Sunday and anything can happen! It’s just who get hot towards the end! Go Cowboys!
We should get the win but we should have won last Sunday smh Team Cowboys
could you call me a cab please? I’ll be waiting on the curb…..goodnight everybody!!!!
