How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

[X-Era]

He just may be on the block.

Im sorry, I understand he ran his mouth to some degree, but I just dont think hes a cancer. Anyone who has seen his play and his heart knows he wants tobe the best and win. SF sucks, flat out.

Sure, he could go and be completely quiet, but I think he just speaks with a heart that wants to win.

Anyways, he might be headed out of 49'er ville. Id take him in a heart beat, hes no punk.

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

already beat ya to it in a thread earlier, which got trashed. But in reflecting, probably for good reason.

Bills dont need that kind of attitude on this team right now, and nobody liked Davis coming out of school more than me.

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

I was thinking about this alst night after watching the Singletary interview. I think I would take a shot on him as long as the price wasn't too high. They haven't had a consistent offensive attack in SF for years so I think with a QB like Trent that likes to use the tight end he could do some good damage for us.

I see his attitude as being a fiery competitor. Terrell is a ME FIRST player, Vernon just wants to win and to have his team mates play like they want to win.

and you know this how?

from what I've heard on the radio and whatnot, hes had a history of irking coaches with his lax attitude.

also, the reason Singletary sent him to the locker room was because he wasnt being fired up enough. i dont know either, but we can only go on what media outlets tell us, and from what I've heard his attitude is piss-poor.

Did you watch him play? He showed up in every single game in college, and then went to one of the worst teams in the league.

Young? Yes. Hes young. Hes got a fiery attitude.

Guess what, so does Jay Cutler (a better arm than Elway), so did Elway who refused to go to the Colts. So did Kelly, who 2 years after he was out of the league told Paul McGuuire that hes better still than 85% of the league.

I dont mind guys who want to win and get fired up to do so. I mind guys who are all about ME. Singletary thinks hes a me guy, but maybe he just doesnt like the guy.

We dont know the real deal with him. We have ZERO proof from him that hes a punk. TO is a punk and has shown it to reporters directly.

-Do YOU watch him play?!
-What evidence do you have that he has a "fiery attitude"?

One veteran defensive player praised the move to Silver: “Vernon does this crap all the time, and [former coach Mike] Nolan would always let it go. He created this monster.”

His own teammates even seem to somewhat be sick of his BS.

I'm not saying I know either way, but somehow you think hes a fiery young competitor who is misunderstood. How can you say this with any certainty?

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

Attitude aside, he has had injury problems has he not?

If Pat is downplaying the idea, it is probably not a good idea. He loved Davis in that draft.


Attitude, mouth and injuries are not a good combo for an unproven player.

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

Singletary called Davis out as a me first quitter. I'm sorry, you know something is wrong with a guy when his coach calls him out publicly, and instead of standing up for him, the teammates back the coach.

I think we can avoid having that type of guy here. and what has he done since his rookie year?

I said I THINK. I agree that neither of us knows.

Thats why I made the stark contrast between him and clowns like TO. TO opens his mouth to the public and removes all doubt that hes a moron.

We just dont know the details.

Heres some of his direct comments:

Look, he could be an attitude problem. He could be.

He also could be a good player with a good heart in a bad situation, see Marcus Stroud.

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

vernon davis is a bust.

the guy hasn't done ANYTHING close to what he was projected to do in the NFL. He was supossed to re-define the TE position.

Aside from always being hurt...he just isn't that good...so no thanks

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

I would easily give up a 2nd. and a 5th....Sure he hasn't done nothing so far, but look at the clowns throwing him the ball....Also I'm not worried about his attitude problems at all, it most likely won't happen but I really hope we at least try to get this done in the offseason!

Re: How about Vernon Davis in a Bills uni?

He had the Eric Flowers combine and was over drafted. Nice, bloated contract to boot.

Next !

Erik Flowers didnt stand out in college, Vernon did. And then he blew it up in the combine.

I remember a Bills sportscaster, I think it was Howard Simon, saying that you wouldnt find Erik Flowers name even in the media guide, EVERYONE knew who Vernon Davis was.

Its not the same, nor even similar.
