I'd like for plays specifically for Vance to be called and and we randomly hit Vernon for a big play.....just spread it around, so the defense doesn't focus Boldin/Crabtre/Vernon...

we might hit Hyde out of the backfield... might hit Vance anywhere.. hell, an inside screen to Vance

reverse to Ellington....or WR screen.

feature some of these talented weapons...and if they stink it up, move on.

Make this guy the new OC!

Seriously though, it's sad that fans seem to have a better idea of what to do than Roman. What are his credentials again?

Only previous OC experience is from high school.

From Jimmy Raye to Roman. We are so desperate for an NFL OC, I'm afraid that an average one may look like a genius to Jed and the staff.

The first game a WR is open TWICE on the correct side of the field.... I'll be doing this

He might end up being the greatest TE of all time, but as it stands, I'm totally disappointed. I just hope it was our OC and not a reflection on his talent. We desperatly need a complement and maybe replacement for VD.

As a side note, Carrier looks very promising.

I'm excited to see McDonald getting some good coaching for a change and maybe be more involved in the offense and getting him the ball more frequently. He's like a monster truck out in the open field, would love to see him get more opportunities rather than just being the dedicated blocker all the time.

OC can be blamed for having him block, or not having him be targeted often. but vance's biggest issue is the ball hitting him in the hands and him dropping it. i would also add dropping every other pass thrown your way is not a good way to secure more targets. he has solid form in terms of catching, he just doesnt complete the process enough.

So true. He just barrels right over people. I hope he gets more opportunities this year and works on improving his hands.

Coaches won't call plays for you and the QB won't throw it to you if you have a case of the dropsies. Doesn't matter where you wre drafted, how fast you are, or how great of an athlete you are.

I hear you guys on that. However, if you're going to invest a 2nd round pick on a player, I think you have to give them every opportunity to succeed. That means forcing him the ball over and over until he absolutely proves he can't do it. Sometimes it seems like we give up on players to fast and hindge their whole future on 6 plays throughout the season. If you have the conviction to pick them in the 1st, 2nd or 3rd, you should have the conviction to force them to fail. Its not about entitlement, but trusting your scouting

And consistency has been a problem with him dating back to college..

That would be easier if we didn't have other options all over the field. While we are force feeding Mcdonald, guys like Gore, Boldin, Crabs, Stevie, VD are going to be like WTF!

If Mcdonals was tearing up he practice field and making plays during the game, they would keep going to him. Eventually you have to move on. See AJ Jenkins.

Yeah he still has a chance to be good, but he's in line behind a ton of talent.
