Denver traded sixth-round picks in 2016 and 2017 for Vernon Davis.

I think most people would say it is too much to pay for an old guy who has not shown much this year. I'd be OK if TT had taken this chance. James Jones needs a guy his age to keep him company.
I'm not sure that DickRod is better than Quarless.

James Jones ran like a TE on Sunday.Originally Posted by Harlan Huckleby
Q is a better blocker that RichRod is.
He runs better too.
Dick has better hands.
Age old question, does Davis have anything left, or not? I haven't watched him at all the last couple years, but his #s haven't been anything since 2013. He missed two games this year because of a bad knee, and he didn't start an early season game even though healthy. Elway apparently thinks he still has something left. If he does, he would have been a nice pickup for GB.
I found it rather curious SF let him go for so little.
When did this version of the O Line become so terrible at run blocking? Remember with Bach and Barclay they clobbered people with Lacy and Starks?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
When Denver started playing 11 men in the box.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

It's telling that a stumblebum like DickRod played 95% of the offensive snaps Sunday night.
The result of so much field time? Two catches, 16 yards, horrible blocking.
TE problem in GB indeed.
This was odd to me. They lined him up at the traditional TE spot, out wide, and in the backfield. He was largely ineffective at all positions. The question is, who do they put in that is better? Nobody stands out. They seem to short one starter at the moment.
That being said, I have to imagine that Abby would have been better at getting open and Janis would have brought something different as well. Not saying either should have got the 95% in RR's place, but how about just mixing it up some? They seemed more static in their personnel groupings than in the past.
Is Quarless in a prison somewhere?

Tight end Andrew Quarless is eligible to play this week after being placed on injured reserve/designated to return, though it appears unlikely he will feature against the Bears.
Quarless was eligible to practice after six weeks on IR/designated to return but has not taken the field. He typically does rehab work and goes through light drills off to the side.
The fact that he is not playing suggests to me his legal situation is far from clear. Which is to say murky.
Or perhaps we didn't activate him because of this is a short week and he'll be back for the Detroit game next week?
It suggests to me that the medical staff has not cleared him. Just because he is eligible to practice or play doesn't mean he is physically ready.
HOFer
quarless, the answer to none of our TE problems
yet still brings more problems to the table
I'm anxious to see what he can do; No denying that he can run routes better than the Rod. I just wonder what is going on.
Perrillo is OK, but when he was not even able to garner support for a fuckdoggle award despite 5 catches and a critical TD, I sorta lost confidence in him.
I want Abracadabra and the Fatman!

I am pretty sure I watched Jared and the Fatman during my youth.
