Just a heads-up that Vernon Davis is signed through 2010. Rotoworld has it here, and the NFLPA website also has it (and they’re significantly more official than Rotoworld.

His stats show it. I hope those who said he was a bust are eating their words.

His age definitely gives him an advantage over Gonzalez and his speed over Witten. He’s stopped whining and stopped pounding his chest (to a certain degree) and he’s realized football’s a team game (I know, it’s kinda sad if you realize that after entering the NFL, let alone your 3rd season). Nonetheless, he will mature and gain experience. The fact that Singletary made him a captain proves that he either has trust in Davis or is hoping that Davis will turn out to be something special (gut feeling). Hopefully Davis can deliver on a consistent basis.

woot!

Is that a Sing thing or…?

We’ll see some “Davis to Davis…touchdown!” calls. Then again, Smith might just be gearing up for a long, successful career. Especially if he gets some O-line and D support next year.

Swallowin’ crow

… like receptions, yards, and (most annoyingly) TDs.

And to put too much stock in them, ignoring the context in which those yards were created. I’ve been arguing on this board since i got here that people were writing off Vernon’s pass catching ability at their peril, because they couldn’t understand the context in which he put up his numbers.

Now, of course, people who were calling him a bust will start saying he’s an all pro. He’s the same guy, doing just as well as he’s done the last two years. The difference compared to last year is that the team has decided to start throwing. The difference compared to two years ago is that the team has QBs who can hit the broad side of a barn.

is only good because is only good because of the genius interworkings of the Jimmy Raye offense. total system player
