If Pacman Jones and dipshits like LJ can stay in the league, im sure Vernon Davis can find a spot, esp being the specimen he is, even if he sucks at football

He came in and said this is MY TEAM and this is how it's done

gotta love that in a coach

How much money am I paying him?

For his draft pick and his contract no......if you're asking me if they cut him and I could get him for nothing oh yea I'd take that chance.

That was great. They will find out real fast who is about team and who is about sulking on the sidelines. It is also great that the fans know that he isn't ****ing around

this whole saga is very funny. he was a workout warrior, he's got a poor attitude, doesn't care if the team wins or not, it's all about him.

used to be that guys who were prima donnas had done soemthing in the NFL to earn that status... now you don't have to have done anything ever to be one.

“You don’t need to be sayin’ nothin’ to me right now,” Davis barked at the coach, according to witnesses. Singletary ordered Davis to take a seat on the bench, and shortly thereafter the coach approached and stressed the importance of avoiding stupid penalties.

“I said I don’t need to hear it,” Davis snapped, cutting him off.

Singletary told Davis to go take a shower, and as the Niners were driving for their first and only touchdown of the game, the tight end was waving his helmet at what was left of the announced crowd of 67,504 and heading through the tunnel.

Upon reaching the locker room, Davis took his helmet and threw it violently against a wall, according to one eyewitness.

Meanwhile, on the 49ers’ sidelines, most of Davis’ teammates were quietly singing the praises of ‘Coach Sing.’ ”

Explained one veteran defender: “Vernon does this crap all the time, and Nolan would always let it go. He created this monster. The good news is that Coach Sing wasn’t having that.”

Added another veteran defender: “No one’s bigger than the team, right? We were all happy to see that this (expletive) won’t be tolerated.”

It seems to me that Vernon Davis' stupid penalty was just the final straw and that he had it coming for a while.

This approach sounds good, but he will never win with an approach like this in today's NFL.

It seems that in this instance, his team supports him for it.

Time will tell if he's able to properly gauge the temperature of the room for each situation, but in this case, he did so correctly.

Vernon Davis isn't as physically talented as he is made out to be. He's an undersized TE with stiff hips who just happens to be able to run fast in a straight line. Not being able to catch, run routes, or understand the playbook doesn't help either.

I heard he has short arms too

What a BUST at #6

If he doesn't like Vernon Davis great, keep it in house.

I see your point.

But, he was asked from the media about Vernon. This is where I hate the media because they ask you a question about a controversial situation or topic to lure an answer or reaction from you. And then the next day will blow that topic out of proportion. They are an opposition in an evil form where they like to stir up sh*t.

I know there are coaches in this league that at times don't publicly berrate their players. I have respect for that. Some coaches prefer to lay low and be humble. Belichek is kinda like that. George Allen was kinda like that.

But not every coach is like that. Some coaches are different. differences in personalities. In Singletary's case, he spoke his mind. He may or may not have done the right thing? But he is new to the coaching scene. I give the dude some credit for speaking his mind. I think it is needed nowadays too many punks in this league.

WHY?
if you watch what happened on the sidelines, it seemed that there were players gettin after him before Sing went over. so yeah in this instance players looked as though they were all for it. For the players with pride they HAVE to feel good about the direction MS will take the team.
