Vernon Davis

It is a confirmed webzone fact that Davis can only catch with his pinky toes.

why is this a thread?

His hands are average for a TE. The jumping for no reason thing is what bothers me. I know it's not going to change, so as long as he catches the ball, I'm OK with it.

His hands arent the problem. When he touches the ball hes good about actually hanging on to it. Its getting the ball thats the prpblem. The jumping and small catch radius can be annoying but the guy always comes through in thr clutch so...whatever.

I thought that was just me.

still questioning Vernon? lol

Does he catch the ball???? Then this SH** up!!!!

I pose a more serious question: When Vernon Davis wipes his ass, does he remain seated and reach between his thighs or does he stand up completely and swipe behind the back?

nope he is the Josh Morgan of TE's

Vernon gots hands dnt be silly folks

But it came down like a punt.

he pretty much jumps up for every catch, in an effort to place his torso behind the ball. it's a response to having little confidence in hands catching.

a natural-hands catcher snatches the ball with fluidity. few are great at it; vernon is far, far from that.

If he is open and the ball is in the area from his waist to his shoulders he can catch it fine. You will hardly ever see him reach up high to catch a pass or catch one at knee level or lower. He also does not do well in traffic. Two of the interceptions in the Seattle game occurred because he just continued running the route while the defensive backs went for the ball while he just stuck out his hands and waited for the ball to come to him. Sherman went over him and he did nothing to go up for the ball. In both cases he was between the defensive back and the ball and the defensive backs went for the ball and he did not.

Agree with this right here. VD was never known for his pass catching, he just isn't a natural pass catcher like Jason whiten, Shannon sharp D Clark, and the Goat Jerry Rice, type guys, but what VD lacks in natural pass catching, he makes up with work ethic and freak like skills, he blocks like an all probowl Lt, and has the speed of a wr in the body of a tight end. He will never be a natural pass catching tight end, but he makes clutch plays when it matters most, and at any time can go all the way, the guy is once in a life time talent at a spot that hasn't seen a guy of his talent ever, he's amazing to watch I've enjoy every catch and play he's ever been a part of even if it's his blocking to spring gore for a run. No one is perfect, but he's fun to watch and just amazing over all tightend. I love the guy and hope he's a niner for life, cause his drive not only on the field but off it should inspire people to achieve and strive to be the best, even without the natural ability to do it. VD LOVE YOU BRO!

According to Kerry Rhodes, Vernon just sits there and wipes behind the back... no standing (except for when he goes piss), he doesn't squat when he goes pee.
