A++ topic. Will return to the thread later to read the rational discourse that is sure to follow.

No. Vernon has a significant impact on the passing game even when he's not thrown to. Teams have to respect his skills, and they predictably roll their coverage toward him. The Bears were the only team to use single coverage on Vernon and they got burned.
I think the real issue is that Vernon's route tree is very limited. We need to mix in different routes and line him up all across the formation. I wan't to see him used more as an underneath option so he can pickup that YAC. He's been relegated to a one-dimensional deep threat right now, and teams are having no trouble blanketing him.

Right, so as a result wouldn't that make it easier for us to trade him?

Yes
if they aren't gonna use him then trade him. You can't pay a blocking TE that kind of money.

Vernon is paid alot of money to make those catches. He needs to go all out all the time. No excuses.

Remember when you wanted to trade Frank Gore?

Would have been a tough catch but I would have liked for him to have laid out for the ball and given a full effort.

this thread is just ridiculous the ball was overthrown! if VD knew he could've made the catch he would've "laid" out, he's not gonna do it just to please people on the internet and risk an injury.

Worst thread of December award.
It's not Vernon's fault they don't call plays for him. That's up to the OC and the QB to get him the ball. It's obvious he has no chemistry at all with Kaep. With Alex he was the security blanket. That's why he had a lot of yards and TD's early in the year and none since. They need to get on the same page and work together. He's the most explosive player we have on offense. He had around 300 yards and 4 TD's in 2 playoff games last year. Including all the big key plays. And that's the guy you want to trade?.....
