Is there any 49er that is more over-rated than Delanie Walker?

he's got tons of potential but he's had the dropsies all year it seems.

Drop, big catch, catch, drop, drop, big catch. So frustrating

He makes plays. He forces the Defense to cover him. He has mismatches. Hopefully he will settle down and catch the ball more consistently. Kaep never seems to give up on him. I'd like to see Davis get a few more targets.

He's the Akers of tight ends lol

Yeah, he didn't look great tonight. Don't know what to say. Two steps forward, two steps back. Think about trying him with different routes. Curls, comebacks. He can catch and go down. Catch and run not so much.

I counted 3 drops in the first half and the catch that was overturned because his hand was out ...

Walker is a good blocker but his drops are killing us.

What does this even mean?? Pretty much any receiver will force the defense to cover him, you're not saying anything at all here.

I was going to praise him for that absolutely beautiful catch he made, falling out of bounds. Even though it didn't count, that was an awesome catch and exactly what I'd like to see out of him. Of course, a few players later he f**ked it up by dropping another pass.

Its just who he is, he'll make plays at times, and he'll make drops, sometimes in highly crucial moments. If people can deal with that, then so be it. I still think the 49ers should make it a priority to find someone who is a solid blocker but has more reliable hands.

The guy is a pretty damn good blocker to be honest.

His hands are either extremely impressive of a disappointment. I have a love/hate relationship with the guy. He makes up for some of his mistakes though.

One of the biggest up-and-down players we have.

Honestly, I was making Walker jokes during the game. If he is seeing the field so much because of Manningham injury, then fine.

Joe Buck mentioned that during the season Walker dropped 8 passes out of 39 targets. That means he's dropping the ball about 20% of the time. Totally unacceptable. He is what he is. A tremendously versatile player who doesn't quite have the hands/concentration needed to be a featured player in the passing game. He can be pretty darn good in spots though.

He can be all those things but why do we need to keep throwing to him?

and my question is,

how is he on the hands team????!!!!
