lol so you must've hated Vernon before this anyway because the only thing that is different from 4 weeks ago is that he chose to skip a voluntary workout.
I don't hate him, I hate that he thinks he doesn't have anything to work on and put himself over the team

I'm not sure I agree with VD on this hold out stuff, but I read somewhere that he said he was promised a restructuring...so if he's holding out to force the 9ers to keep their promise, then I kinda understand it. You suggest it can be worked out while he's practising, but he might have been told they're not going to address it now so this is his reaction. If he's just simply doing it because he wants more money and it is all in his head, then that's a different story.
As far as the complaints, the dude is a top 3 TE. I'd take Gronk and Graham over him..that's it. Playing injured for part of the season he still put up 850 yards and 13 TDs.
I'dk if he is holding out or what, but going on radio and tv and saying stupid stuff is not helping himself and his agenda.
His is top talent out of the current weak TE in the league, I'm not saying he is weak..but there is a significant drop off from and the rest of the league
Also, you think he top 3, well right now he is being paid 3rd best from the highest paid TE, just imagine if he really worked on his game..maybe he could avg 90 catches a year and be the number 1 TE.... Shoot he could have it already with as many targets he has.
