Dang i remember alot of us were in love with that dude, including myself. All those TEs that year are a joke. Marcedes, Vernon Davis, Pope. Report
September 5, 200916 yr comment_68183 I was pissed of at JA when he passed on Pope for a guy I never heard of: Devin Hester. Report
September 5, 200916 yr Author comment_68184 I think many of us wrong on this guy, Whod a thunk it. Report
September 5, 200916 yr comment_68190 I, too, loved this guy coming out of college. But it's like I've said before, this is all situtational. Leonard Pope - Goes to a team that hardly uses the TE because they have two all-pro WRs, and the next option is a good WR. Vernon Davis - Goes to an absolutely putrid team with a horrible QB situation. Add that to the fact the his new coach is a strict disciplinarian, and Davis is, evidently, mentall frail. Marcedes Lewis - Goes to a team that believes running is the best option on offense, and the second best option. With a pure game manager at QB, and average to bad WRs to protect the passing game, there is no reason to feel threatened by the tight end. Put any of those three guys on the Bears and they would have been used significantly more. Report

That one season was so special I'll die with fond memories of it all. Report
