Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?

^ exactly, we should have traded Fred in the offseason. I say he's gone after this yr, one of them will he for sure IMO

Like I've said hundreds of times, 2 TE's cant work in the NFL.
Just because we don't/aren't using Davis doesn't mean it can't be done.
The Packers, Patriots, Texans and Saints all make good use of double and multiple TEs.

^ I didn't say it can't be done but you won't ever see 2 TEs become big parts of the offense at the same time..

And GB hardely used anyone before Finley got hurt, and as far as Saints go their TEs aren't anything special.. Shockey is done

Um that's exactly what you said:Like I've said hundreds of times, 2 TE's cant work in the NFL.

Don't be a hypocrite you said, stick with it.

but you won't ever see 2 TEs become big parts of the offense at the same time..
Wrong again my friend I listed 4 teams that use 2 TEs as a big part of their passing offense.(Packers, Patriots, Texans and Saints)
And there are plenty more teams that use 2 TEs a part of their base offense run sets/formations.

And GB hardely used anyone before Finley got hurt,
I watch a lot of football, probably too much.
And i can tell you you're dead wrong.
The Packers have been using 2 TEs since last year.
Finley 55 catches
Lee 37
This year is different due to injury to 3 TEs but the numbers are:
Finley 21 catches
Lee, Quarless, Crabtree 17 catches.

and as far as Saints go their TEs aren't anything special.. Shockey is done
Huh?
Wow that's a great argument: because you don't like their TEs that means their TEs aren't producing?
Well the numbers prove you wrong once again:
Shockey 31 catches
Dave Thomas 27
J Graham 8 catches

I could keep going with the Pats and Texans but i think i've made my point.
Just because we aren't making good use of Fred Davis doesn't mean it can't be done.
HTTR!

I just don't understand why Davis isn't on the field a lot more. Especially in the red zone. Makes no snese.

I'm with you on that brotha, for a team that's as limited as WR as we are it makes no sense to have a starting caliber TE and only have targeted him 13 times that Sellers, Torrain and Keiland Williams have more 23, 17, 15 targets respectively. There's no way way a Fred Davis should have less targets then those guys.
Fred Davis is being criminally underused by Kyle.

This. I don't want to hear about drops, either- all of our receivers are guilty of this. I read somewhere that he's had trouble picking up the new offense, but even so there's got to be some simple routes that put the ball in his hands. I remember last season people were absolutely gushing when he took over for Cooley- comparisons to Gates, etc. The talent is there; utilize it.

It's always better to have too much of a good thing than too little...at least in terms of NFL depth.

Again, a wasted 2nd round pick. Just like we all said 2 years ago -- we did NOT need another pass-catching TE when we had a ProBowl Chris Cooley. If anything, we needed a blocking TE, but not one in the 2nd round.

Hindsight is always 20/20 - but how awesome would it have been to draft ONE WR that year, and then two offensive linemen (-- not named Rhinehart)...
And the probabilty of success that these other "phantom o-linemen" was 100%. NOT. The only dude who even is sniffing a starting job and was not a FIRST ROUNDER in that draft was LICHTENSTEIGER. That draft had a horrible oline class beyond the first round.


No Olinemen were drafted in the 2nd round except for Chico Rachal.

Especially at TE while ignoring OL and WR in the draft for 10 years, even when they are a position of greater need.
