I’ve been duped. Fooled, if you will. Vernon Davis sucks. It took me five weeks to get the words out of my mouth, but I’ve said it. One more time: Vernon Davis sucks. I can’t tell you how good saying that makes me feel. For five weeks I’ve avoided this truth, and hoped that he would remind me why I yelled for joy and high-fived my friends when I drafted him this year. But after his recent zero-catch, zero-yard, zero-looks game, this just isn’t working out.

At 6′3, 253 pounds, Davis is a physical specimen. During a game in Week Four, Davis was seen pounding his chest and yelling at coaches. “It was just me being me,” Davis said of the incident. No, Vernon. You, being you, is having exactly five catches in five games this season. That’s horse-sh… I wasted an eighth-round pick on you for that? You are the 36th-rated tight end in my league. I had the audacity in my RotoExperts.com “Big Fat Claims” piece to predict that you would end the year as a Top-Five tight end. Vernon, you have made me look foolish and it won’t stand. I’m cutting ties, Vernon. It’s over. I’ve just officially dropped you and picked up Billy Miller. Yes, Vernon. You got dropped for friggin’ Billy Miller.

I feel like I can know move on with my fantasy football season. I don’t care if Miller catches exactly one pass, for exactly one yard this weekend, because that is progress, and progress is a good thing.
