Why is anybody benching Shorts at this point? Especially for VD..

Wait... What?

Davis has a great game against a great defense with K and he goes up against the leagues worst defense and you say "I could of told you not t start him?"

Do we have a steaming pile of bs icon I can post?

I was very confident starting Davis. If they would play theSaints again this week i'd start him again. Love the after game I told you so...

In his defense, he said that he would have told him to bench Vernon over Alfred Morris, BJGE, and Cecil Shorts. All three of those guys have been playing pretty well, so it's not a stretch.

It's so sad that he's used this poorly in the receiving game (although I'll add that from a football perspective, he's having a FANTASTIC season, and his blocking has been excellent).

I can understand that. I'm just a little chippy because he has really screwed me the past 5-6 weeks. I watched that coming out party for Kaepernick, and was like ALRIGHT, Pettigrew on the bench you go for the rest of the year... and yesterday was like... WTH man... really? Hopw can you have that kind of weapon and not even throw to him more than twice... if that. I know he caught one ball that was brought back. I guess he really ISN'T that good of a receiving TE. I still won on the legs of Trich and Muscle Hamster, but... I would like Akers and Davis to get with the program... AKERS, missing a friggen 33 yard FG really??!?

No, he is definitely a good receiving tight end. The problem is that the SF staff sees him as more useful in the blocking game, where he is one of the best in the league.

 

[coachbobbyfinstock]

what a bummer, thought Davis was going to get rolling this week after a good week 11. Slotted him into flex ahead of several other options that produced and will probably lose this week in a critical game.

I agree that SF coaches see him as having more value as a blocker, I just thought based on last year (both in how he got hot at the end of the year and how he abused NO in the playoffs (i know, different QB))and how effective Kaper to Davis was last week- that VD would continue to roll.

Oh well, I wont make the same mistake next year, thats for sure!!

I believe he missed the 50 yarder and the 33 was blocked. But, yeah, he has left some points on the shop floor that have hurt.

In my redraft league this year, I watched as Fred Davis, Greg Olsen, Brandon Pettigrew, etc. went off the board before Vernon (in fairness, I loved Olsen coming into this year, so I would have taken him over Vernon myself), and I was thrilled to grab him in the seventh round.Come to find out, the people who drafted those three guys have all been burned by Vernon in the past and passed him up for the same reason.

Vernon Davis - TE - 49ersFollowing Sunday's catch-less Week 12 game, Vernon Davis told reporters that he believes Alex Smith should be the 49ers' starting quarterback.Although Jim Harbaugh made the correct on-field decision to bench Smith for Colin Kaepernick, one of the risks he ran was creating a locker-room divide. "It's difficult, but I think Alex is still the man," said Davis. "In my heart I strongly believe that and you'll know next week. ... I'm sure Alex is still our guy." Kaepernick is still expected to start in Week 13 at St. Louis.Source: NFL.com

What a flip flopper. Said he was "liberated" and finely free after Kaepernick's play against the Bears.

 

[Two Deep]

Didn't Davis have one "wide open" bounce off his chest yesterday?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

What an ###. He praises Kap last week, and wants Alex back this week. And yes, a ball hit him right in the chest.

 

[doubletrouble]

Vernon Davis caught two passes for 15 yards in San Francisco's Week 13 loss to the Rams.Davis was targeted only three times. After proclaiming he "(felt) like somebody took the handcuffs off me" after catching six passes for 83 yards in Colin Kaepernick's first start in Week 11, Davis has tallied just two receptions over his past two games. Expect his grousing for Alex Smith to grow louder. A preseason fantasy darling following his hot finish to the 2011 season, Davis is on pace for just 49 catches and 669 yards with 75 percent of 2012 in the books. He'll be a rocky TE1 for the fantasy playoffs



I wouldn't trust this guy starting for my team in the playoffs...

Rotoworld:

CSN Bay Area suggests Vernon Davis "might" reemerge as the 49ers' leading receiver in 2013.
In all likelihood, it'll be either Davis or Anquan Boldin. And Davis is the better bet with younger legs and a far less limited skill set. Boldin is essentially a box-out receiver. Davis was San Francisco's leading pass catcher in both 2009 and 2010, finishing as the No. 1 and 3 overall fantasy tight end in those seasons, respectively. He caught 78 balls and scored 13 TDs in 2009.

Is Jimmy Raye back at OC?

CSN Bay Area might as well be Bleacher Report. They are using Davis numbers when he was in Raye's fire drill offense when they were behind. It could very well be neither Davis or Boldin who wind up Kaep's fave targets. Davis will attract more coverage, and Boldin isn't young.
