Even when Vance makes a play he doesn't make a play.. He's not good at football, period. He gave Vernon the stink eye when he stole his TD.. Poor Vance..

#1. Vance has been hurt for a good chunk of the season. So he should get a pass for that alone.
#2. His run blocking has been outstanding and has sprung many a long run in the past 22 games.
#3. Most receivers/tight ends who take a helmet directly to the forearm will fumble. Thats why they teach you to put your helmet on the ball in HIGH SCHOOL.
#4. He was wide open in the end zone and Davis decides to get in his way...I wouldve been pissed too...
#5. It is HILARIOUS how everyone is glossing over the multiple drive killing drops that Davis had yesterday...yet getting on McDonald for his miscues.
I swear idk what game you all are watching sometimes but it damn sure aint football.

Glossing over VD? He has a rough game but we know his history, his resume. Vance isn't in the same breath as VD as of now. And shouldn't get similar treatment.

Lets see....last ear Vance had many drops and cost us the CAROLINA game which meant homefield and the division and then maybe a sb.
This year, more drops, 2 fumbles, luckily we recovered one.....and he does not get open. Carrier is better plain and simple. He may improve but be can do so somewhere else. We don't have room for a te who drops, fumbles and doesn't get open. Sorry. Don't want to lose another game bc of him. Every game counts with Seattle in the division bc that means possible division win and bye week and homefield

Looked pretty wide f**king open right here, not his fault that Davis thought he was playing cornerback.

It was a scramble drill though, but still, disappointing that Davis got in the way. It would have been a good opportunity for McDonald to get some positive mojo after his fumble.

Really?? But everyone else can be in a what have you done for me lately category right??
I love Vernon and think he's among the best ever at his position...but f**k VD's resume...he has been awful this year so far and last night was a microcosm of his current season. Dropped 3 passes and broke up a TD from one of his teammates. He had an awful game.

VD is NOT among the best ever TEs in the league. He has never really been more than top 3 in any given season for TE. He has some great games and some duds. He will be fine going forward and i expect at elast 7 Tds this year.
As for McDonald, he just isnt any good. I see more positives giving Carrier playing time and letting him get better at blocking and running routes cause he can be better than McDonald very soon. I dont trust McDonald is any situation late in the season or playoffs. If Harbaugh wants him to come in and strictly block, i;d rather bring in another O-lineman instead.

hah!!
and for years, I have been saying that we should consider trading VD because he's not really as good as people think he is...
we now have the run blocking TE in Mickey D, and the pass catching ability of Air Carrier!!

Yes! For god's sake, he may have hurt Vernon's feelings or something. We can't have that. After all, Vernon had just pulled off the best defensive play of the night for the Rams!

I've been on record as hating the pick. I wanted Gavin Escobar in that round. You guys are right, Vance was a project since he was a WR at Rice. He's not producing enough for the time he's in.

You hated the pick and you're agreeing that he's not producing.... wow, that's surprising!
