Despite the long TD, he did not look 100%, even on it he seemed to favor the hammy. Everyone knows he's a gamer and, because of our shallow WR pool, he wants to be out there to help the team win, but I think we'd be ok without him the next 3 weeks and then we have a bye. That would assuredly give his hammy time to heal and afetr the bye, we have him back to 100% with the rest of the fellas. If he keeps playing, it could linger the whole season or make it worse.

Agree. The October schedule is pretty easy. Let him rest a bit... maybe not three weeks, but some time for sure.

well we can't rest him this week. regardless of what you think about the cardinals they are dangerous and have a good defense. we can't take any games for granted. if he is healthy enough to play then he plays. VD at 75% is better than celek at 100%

I just hit Jed on the sat phone and told him to fire up with PJ and send Vernon to Germany for the Kobe system treatment. #stemcellsforthewin

We can't. He's needed. Just look at the Colts game.

I don't think the Niners can afford to sit VD if he can play. Without him, who would draw some of the opposing defense's attention away from Boldin? In the NFL, even the bad defenses can totally shut down a good WR if he is a team's only receiving threat.

So you want Boldin to have every pass?

hes a grown man and the niners have trainers who can tell when he can and cant play. if Vernons green lighted, he should play. take him out of the game and we get the offense we saw against the colts again and i dont want that

Hell NO. We have no offensive weapons then. Even though Tennessee is without Locker, they are still a good team. Jacksonville sucks, but can put up points. We all saw what happened when Indy came in, most thought INDY would get beat easily. VD needs to play. If he is healthy, he plays, he and Boldin are our best receiving weapons.

No way. He can rest up during the bye week, He's healthy enough to play and help out the passing game. Sitting him is a bad idea, unless you want a repeat of the Indy game. Then we can all blame Kap and act shocked when he can't turn s**t into gold.
