Vernon Davis

Hope he bounces back this season. don't get me wrong. just annoyed with him. that's all

Something happened last year that no doubt pissed Vernon off bad which resulted in him mailing it in after Game 1 with the Cowboys. Not everybody on the team was a "Harbaugh type of guy" and I don't Vernon was. I'm sure Vernon admired Harbaugh for being a good leader but let's face it, Harbaugh's passing game coaching was dreadful. I really think Vernon had enough.

Now that Harbaugh is gone, hopefully we'll see the same ol' Vernon.

VD had plenty of success under Harbaugh's passing game... idk where you get that he was "mad" because of Harbaugh. He held out, wanted better money, and didn't get it. he played scared and with little effort. and little motivation. where you get the assumption that it's all harbaughs' fault is beyond me.

They're calling a .500 season a bad year which shows what they really expect of themselves.

was reading the first page noticed a reference to Barry Sims man forgot about that bum

Davis infuriated me last year, but its a contract year and I expect him to regain old form for what will likely be his last year as a 49er. The new offensive additions should help him out this year.

You don't find 4.3 speed at the position often. I'm not too sure this is his last season with us

If he has a good season I think he's gonna be looking for more than we're gonna be willing to pay him. And his speed is nice but so is having a TE who can make tough catches and run nice routes neither of which are his strong suits. He's been a pretty good Niner but in the past few months I've watched both Gore and Willis walk both of which I have 1000x more attachment to than Davis. If he has a good season and demands what I'd expect he would it'd be best to move on I think.

Maybe but 4.3 is 4.3 and Trent has already said he wants guys that can run and make explosive plays. When right VD affords us that very thing and is a constant mismatch for any individual LB or S. There are always teams willing to outbid us and if they do it won't be a Crabtree situation where he goes unsigned for three months. VD will command a big deal early and we will be comped very nicely. Thing is we got some space headed into next offseason so we could theoretically afford to keep him a little longer. I have no idea what his tag would be

It shouldn't take a hall of famer who was your former teammate to retire for you to wake your ass up from being a little b***h.

f**king scrub

Tomsula might have meant that since the team did not do well no player had a good year.

In other words, he was not saying that all or any particular individual did not have a good year.

But, who really knows.

ALOT of things infuriated me last year and i am glad its over. That was great of the coach to step in and tell a reporter we are not comparing anything to last year when a question of that type popped up. as a poster said, yes there were some guys who had good years but as a collective group we did not as was proven by poor play, poor coaching and a poor 8-8 record. lets leave last year what made up last year in the past , onward and upward

the emblem on the helmet means a helluva lot more than the name on the back of the jersey

I lost all respect for vernon.

He sounds like he's looking to get it back this year.

But when he held out last year even though he was the 3rd highest paid TE in the league with TWO years remaining on his contract. And on top of that, he played like s**t and I questioned if he had any passion last year.

if i were to ask my employer to double my salary, even though I'm very well compensated, and when my my employer refuse to give into my demands, my work performance was s**tty. I can not and will not respect anyone who does that.
