Vernon Davis be stoopid?

[gbpackfan]

One of Vernon Davis' teammates reportedly says he's never seen an NFL starter make as many mistakes as Davis did in 2007.

Davis struggled to learn the offense under the 49ers' last two coordinators. Mike Martz uses a complex and lengthy playbook, so we'd worry about that remaining a problem. Unprepared players tend to find themselves Martz's doghouse.

One of the most interesting things to watch in San Francisco will be how well Niners TE Vernon Davis is able to digest new coordinator Mike Martz’s offense. In regard to Davis’ performance last season, one of his teammates told a team source that he had never seen an NFL starter make so many mistakes.

This makes me believe (even more) that TT made the right pick when he selected AJ Hawk over Vernon Davis. I have to admit, I love Hawk (in a non-gay way). His attitude, dedication, love of the game, and play are all a perfect fit in GB, Wisconsin. Davis' attitude sucked from day 1 and now this. Can you imagine Brett Favre and Vernon Davis on the same team if Davis didn't know the plays? HA HA HA. I'm not saying Favre was an a-hole but I know he wants his guys running the right routes and doesn't put up with bullshit on the field! Remember when you dressed down Whitticker a couple years ago against Detriot. HA HA HA HA. Favre was practically on his tippy-toes to get in Shittickers face. HILARIOUS. Anyway, Hawk over Davis = Right decision.

I wanted Davis back then. I wasn't happy when we drafted Hawk. Not pissed off, but I thought TT made the wrong choice.

Glad to say I was wrong.

i was happy then, and i'm very happy now

hawk was the right pick

Still too early to tell.

Davis may well go down in the history of the NFL as one of the greatest Workout Warriors in the modern era. He put up a forgettable career in a very week conference. Then he ran half the speed of light and bench pressed nineteen tractor trailers at the combine rocketing him into the top 10. Now he's on pace for a very forgettable career in the NFL (playing in a weak division). It's like a phenomenon sandwich on two slices of mediocrity.

I wrote an article endorsing Hawk the morning of the draft so I'm on board with AJ

Looks like bulldog hasn't voted yet.

Comes with a side of bad attitude, and hopefully 'just desserts.'

Love that!

I may steal that line sometime.

Agreed.

I love AJ on the field and off. He seems like a stand up guy that I wouldnt mind my son turning out to be. He finishes school and was chomping at the bit to come into camp. He will go down as the best GB LB ever to play hehe maybe not but my kid looks sweet in his little Hawk Jersey!

In the poll, I almost voted "Yes" in response to the thread title. Good thing I figured it out in time. Otherwise it woulda been me who be stoopid, and people would wonder why there were two "Yes" votes (after bulldog votes).

As I recall, no one wrote in more approving or bigger font than you when AJ was selected.

I was always in favor of Hawk...I knew he would be a solid pro for a long time in the NFL.

I loved the Hawk pick then and I still love it now. This system isn't designed for him to flash. It's designed for Barnett to flash if the other two LB's are doing there job. Seems to me that Barnett's getting better. It must mean that Hawk and to some degree Pop are getting the job done.
