Should the 49ers find another QB?
@Adam Watts you mean DeShaun Cosby?
Pitts reminds me of brandon Marshall
@Skrewface303 yup
@san francisco tommy all sports are rigged
@Skrewface303 the super bowl was rigged
Niners signed Sudfeld & now have 4 QBs along w/Jimmy, Rosen, Johnson. Why not draft the best player in the draft...especially if he’s a TE/WR w/size & speed...he’ll be a mismatch nightmare. Do it Lynch forget what Kyle thinks of Mac...you’re the GM!
YES -Pitts then Grab Mond or Trask
Colin Kaepernick is a perfectly healthy quarterback, why not sign him? It's not just a Collin thing it's a BLM thing, too! Stand up for yours, BLM protesters!
“I want data, not your opinion” “I feel like I can’t trust the Bucks”
Vernon Davis was a great weapon!
Colin “scratch you wanted to itch” cowherd.
I'd like to hear, in detail, why 17th game is a lot. I'm not saying they're not right, I just want some nuanced reasons why. I get the game takes a lot of the body, but I can't appreciate that reason. I wish someone would help me understand. When you're a physical specimen at 26 years old, what is one more game? I mean, if you're healthy enough to play game 16 - barring injury, how was that next game a debilitating idea?
Yams... sweet potato, yams
Jimmy Graham never really learned to block. He had a pretty good career. 😏
If he can T block ..... NFL will eat u alive
Vernons such a classy guy he was trying to be as nice as possible to Jimmy G without straight out saying they should replace him
Colin "A scratch you wanted to itch” Cowherd
Who's John Malkovic, is he referring to MalkovicH?
Vernon perfected the 'jump n fold' reception after he got blown up by Seattle (Cam Chancellor?). BTW I'm a niner fan.
Kyle pitts is the most dangerous tight end to come out of Florida since... well... you know.
As a niner fan, missed VD. That game winner vs the Saints was legendary.
Damn Vernon- Nice!
Lets go Niners! Always loved vernon!
You know who needs a QB even more than the 49ers? The Texans !!!! But Colin refuses to talk about it.
Half this segment was Colin drooling over Vernon’s body 🤤 “thick body” “took your shirt off” lmao
"A scratch you wanted to itch"
colin simping so hard
Can anyone else believe how smart Vernon Davis is but his brother. Good lord. Hard knocks getting cut from the dolphins about 5-6 years ago.
@Devon F Yep 👍
And he retired during halftime when he was with the bills 🤣
Vernon D. Is such a class act. He’s a successor in life and I’m quite jealous LOL
Its not an extra game its moving preseason game to regular season. But it's mathematically messed up. Shouldve simply let 16 wining records into playoffs and it gives that extra games. Its not a total 16 extra but 4 extra playoff ticket sales is as profitable id assume
I feel like Pitts type guy is there every other year. I think of athletic guys like Engram, Ebron, Winslow jr., the kid in Denver. These guys were solid but I doubt looking back that I take them so high. The kid in Detroit does some of the athletic stuff but is also very good blocker.
Pitts reminds me a little bit of julian edelman, both very tall and athletic wideouts
@Juan Fernandez If you're baiting for someone more stupid than you, you've got a long wait.
@Rutherford Hayes you made a burner to fall for my bait 😈
Edelman is 5'10", genius.
I feel like vernon has distain for Kittle. He seems like he purposely never acknowledge him or comments about him. Probably because Kittle took his # and his records lol.
All team have more than one running back, if RB doesn't want to take those extras 25 hits let RB2 or RB3 take those snaps; same for QB, WR and everyone else that have issues with that extra game. That's why all team have deep at all positions.
3:06 That was uncomfortable...
Great TE but unless he took a hop, it was a 50/50 chance of dropping the pass
nice of them to have Kam Chancellor's son on TV
QB or TE for Niners?
Niners draft pitts at 3. Trade garrapolo to pats for 15th pick and take macjones
49ers aren’t giving up multiple 1st round picks for a TE. You only trade that much for a QB.
If the Pats wanted JG they would already have him.
Nobody giving the 15th for Jimmy g😂😂
Is it me or I feel like Kyle Pitts is quite a versatile weapon
Vernon sound a lil salty about kittle wearing his 85
Pitts reminds me of Waller
As a 49ers fan, this man had the most talent of any TE, yet, unless the ball was placed directly in his hands, he wasn’t reaching for it.
Right I’m ravens fan and I will say he had it all, he ran in the 4.3’s he could jump out gym, and was very strong, only if he wanted it more
Yeah he was a body catcher. Lol.
Never caught a ball with his hands. Always off his chest lol
True, Vernon would be the goat if it were not for the alligator arms haha
Vernon is an absolute stud. Was amazing to be able to watch him with the Niners. The dominance, emotion would have been amazing to see with Kittle
Miami Bound
I miss Vernon 🤧
Nines
The disrespect not naming Kittle, especially as a blocker
for real lol
I still woulda mentioned kittle . As a blocker. But VD was awesome in his time. I saw him play 5 times with the niners. That team was sick
@Bam Bam Ok, 2009 Vernon Davis was probably the best TE of that year (Rob Gronk broke his TD record a few years later, hard to remember much of that 2009 season), and he absolutely was a top 3 tight end in a few other years, but he only went to 2 pro bowls (which shocks me, I thought for sure 4-5). Kittle has 2 pro bowls already, and will probably go down a better tight end than Vernon Davis (he kinda is already). We 49er fans are certainly lucky we went from a fantastic tight end (the best athlete ever to play the position) to a few years getting an even better tight end.
@CinemaPigeon Vernon broke the single season TE TD record, he was definitely in the argument as the best TE in the NFL, I disagree with you. But if he does feel that way that’s soft, hate is never a good thing
I thought the EXACT same. To mention Kelce, that doesn't block?! Wtf
Don’t forget when kam chancellor ended vernon Davis’s ego with one hit
“You only get one shot don’t miss your opportunity” 🔥🔥 this is why Eminem is the GOAT
Colin “and then you took your shirt off and everybody went.... hhjddh OK” Cowherd Vernon’s laugh made it way creepier. Lol
colin sus
I'm sure Vernon Davis is a great guy but I don't remember him having a 1,000 yard season in his career. The closest I remember was about 900 in the mid 2000s. Antonio Gates, Gronk, Witten; these were great TEs. Let's face it, most TEs don't block today. Most are big receivers who use the positioning of their bodies to shield the ball from the Defenders. If Pitts is believed to be as good or better than those guys, you HAVE to take him. And if GMs around the League think that then the Draft should go: 1. QB 2. QB 3. QB 4. OT 5. WR 6. WR 7. QB 8. TE 9. CB 10.OT I only did 10 because that takes me to my team. I did this short mock by looking at team's needs and selecting BPA (and those ARE all BPAs, they just fall into the team's needs). I really wanted Surtain at 10 but I wouldn't be disappointed if we ended up with Slater, as we would with this mock. But the 2 players I wanted the most are Surtain and Pitts. One will make our D much better and the other seems like he's an automatic TD machine in the Red Zone.
Not his highest year but dude did have 900+ yards on 54-56 catches if I remember right. He had another year that was higher yards wise but nah he never hit 1000 in a year but still 900+ on sub 50 catches ain't bad. As a 9er fan I love Vernon, but I can admit dude had stone hands for a lot of his career.
VD, the 49ers, the team that drafted you, has by far and away the best blocking TE in the game. How do you not know that?
Kittle forsure is the best blocking and overall TE in the league
VD salty cause George is already the greatest TE in 49er history
Definitely was on purpose. He knew what he was doing.
That was weird. Mentions Kelce and digs for Gronk. No mention of Kittle.
Handegg is trash
They have Jimmy G. They have Josh Rosen. They are in the 3 spot to take who ever falls to them. They have done pretty much everything they can do.
Josh rosen is Better at RB
Colin "Then you took your shirt off" cowerd
Colin "and then you took your shirt off" Cowherd
“Then you took your shirt off and my wife filed for divorce”
@Marshfacekillah Hi5 - Took your shirt off, or took off your shirt?
💀
Vernon was a better blocker than a receiver. That's not a slight on his receiver skills, cause I've seen him single handily bully DEs and LBs over and over again.
@Michael Seebode He would often bunny hop catch, would never extend his arms to catch balls above him or away from his body. That strange hop catch motion lead to him getting blown up by Kam Chancellor.
Honestly he wasn't that great of a receiver. He was fast, definitely, but there were several years with SF dude had stone hands. He did turn it around though I'll give him that
Vernon needs to be on more tv dudes great
I see Pitts as Mike Evans 2.0
@Chris Smith god you are clueless, most of his use at Florida was 15 yards downfield.
@SoSaa 1k lmao but he’s the closest thing to moss I’ve seen
I can tell none of you actually watched Kyle pitts play live .. closest thing to moss you’ll see he’s not a TE? But he put on 35 pounds from fr to jr year he put on weight to block
@Sam Rosendahl really? Pitts... ISN'T a TE?? And you're calling ME stupid....google Pitts my man...LMMFAO
@Chris Smith stupid. He’s not a blocker, he’s not a tight end, and he’s not even effective in the slot. HE IS AN OUTSIDE vertical receiver.
Vernon Davis, 49er LEGEND
Vernon was the fastest TE I ever saw.
@LikeMikeTV That hit changed him 😯
Almost as fast as Jason Witten 😳
Super strong also. He was stronger than most lineman that out weighed him by 60 pounds.
Kam Chancellor hit changed that
Maybe expand roster by 5 players
Colin "Then you took your shirt off" cowerd
6’6 245 but yeah he’s slender Colin 😂 didn’t know 245 was slender.
Angel Maldonado see g go ok. Cv b BM. v. bznceiujx I’ll di ex ex firkkkk was ooo put ppqpqpl FC d CCA
@Angel Maldonado and that would be it right there. If you watched him at Florida, you can see he’s pretty tall. But he’s a good enough blocker. He’s not asked to block as much because he’s so good as a receiver. He could literally play just receiver and still be one of the top picks this year.
Even in football terms 245 is still not slender especially for a rookie. 220-235 then slender makes more sense
Have you seen him? Dudes pretty skinny. It’s cause he’s so tall too.
Trey Lance is smarter than Jones and more athletic than Fields and Wilson. He throws the best outside the numbers ball, there’s no reason to believe he can’t hit in between them. People are missing it because his conference is wacky. His players are better than the competition but by no means elite.
@Milad Rahim you crazy. Zach Wilson is head and shoulders better thrn mac jones, he does eveything mac does but better
Mac Jones played against a far superior competition and the tape highlights how quickly he processes, get outta here. Mac Jones is the 2nd best QB in this draft.
3:29 he lying he wasn't listening to eminem 😐
49ers should take trask in a mid round
Too late for that lmao..
Vernon look like he got that bald with goatee filter on 💀
Kyle Pitts isn’t just a great asset. He’s a versatile weapon
He has a versatile arsenal of weaponry.
I see your a man of culture
- Bengal
@Joshua Rivera oh i agree the falcons could use him but the bengals dolphins and lions could def take him as well
@Cullen Calabria he’s not going past 6, unless you guys trade up he’s a goner.
Notice me Colin senpai
vernon is looking in a mirror man. kyle pitts is what vernon was in 05-06 as a rookie
Nah
