Catching VD is easier than you think whether or not your hands are out.

I care. There have been many many times where he jumped for no reason and it cost him lots of YAC. sometimes he can simply put his hands up and pluck the ball out of the air without losing stride at all, but he still chooses to jump, lose stride, and get tackled.

His pass catching has gotten better his running after catch has always been annoying to me. He'll try to break down and shake people, I'd rather see him run through people.

True, I get annoyed as well, but on the bright side, its likely that he'll have a longer career.

He catches fine and is the best threat we have. Everybody else besides Boldin is garbage. And Boldin although really good is slow. He's really the only fast threat we have who can take it the distance. He's the least of our worries of guys receiving the ball.

And if they catch who cares if they do not use their hands as well as they should.
First, it would nice to get some production. Once we get that, we can look at their technique.

I don't care if he catches it with his wiener as long as the ball doesn't hit the ground

Yeah...I don't think we're in a position to care about how a receiver catches the ball

No, he can't. He has zero catch radius. May as well have a 4' TE.
