Wow. Unless JH was being 2 faced to him that really shows who screwed this offense up. The ability to run and pass out of those 2 tight end sets is what drove JH's offense. Delanie was a mismatch nightmare even though he was a bit frustrating with the drops.

I'm fairly certain I was on the fence with him. On the one hand I loved Gronk/ Aaron and I saw that dynamic but we were also against the cap and a backup te with the dropsies seems replaceable. Unfortunately Vance and Vernon never clicked the same.

f**k Jed and Baalke
I'm just glad as hell that we did well in drafting Walker's replacement in McDonald though...how did Baalke keep his job for so long and manage to keep a good face through all this?
Waker will forever be one of my all time favorite Niners from the Harbaugh era, not just as a player but as a quality human being. Yeah he'd have his on-field lapses, but comparing him to his replacement... But yeah, no surprise this is getting dropped as another Baalke f**k up.

We should have kept DW and let VD walk so he could "work on his brand."
It'd be too little too late. Can't live in the past anymore

Bring back Gore and walker!

Walker was great...many references to him being our Swiss Army knife which was the precursor term for OW.

Was not THE factor by any means.

Back then, nobody would have said that.

Baalke made a lot of bad draft picks but he was pretty darn good in FA. Letting Delaine Walker go was a huge mistake obviously. They could have traded Vernon Davis for a 2nd rd pick to and kept Delaine. Oh well

it was and maybe he still will be. but the walker ship has sailed... we need to bring in a young tight end whether it be the draft or free agency who can be an actual number one. i am sick of these guys we have who are 2 3 and 4s on any other teams depth chart,. i am sick of people saying.. we need him for depth.,. we need some bonofide players and playmakers who are not on the down side of their career now that we finally have a qb... which of course means zip if the powers to be do not fix the dang line
