Call me crazy, but I'll take Olsen over Davis at this point in their careers. Olsen is underrated and Davis is overrated right now.
Call me crazy again, but I'll take Cam over Kap. Cam is the better QB and recognizes things better. Cam's not as accurate with his throws, which is why he's prone to overthrows of open receivers and INTs, but he can do more with less than Kap. I also trust him more to pull out a close game due to his maturity this year (as opposed to his choke-ridden propensities last year).
I also give the Panthers the edge on overall defense. Running game is a draw. The 49'ers have the advantage on the O-line and overall receiving corps.
I'll take the Panthers in a smash-mouth, hard-fought football game. However, either team winning wouldn't surprise me.
Kinda hard to say who I would take, depends on my team. Vernon Davis to me is one of the biggest underachievers of all time. With his skill set and physicality, he should be mentioned in the top 5 tight ends ever but for what ever reason, he only can run three routes effectively. It would be scary if the man had Zack Miller acumen. Olsen is more a find the gaps and make a clutch catch. I consider them different players but Vernon Davis provides greater value to his team.
Cam has showed me something this year. He has grown at a higher rate than Kap but he was also playing at a much lower level. I honestly am not sure who I would take. Kam can run you over, Kap can run around you. Both throw it at a much lower plane and very hard. The thing about Kap is he still forces too many balls and the Niners blow too many time outs and that is disorganization and is going to cost them at some point.
I'm sorry but these two opinions are wrong. Vernon Davis is constantly recognized as the best blocking TE in the league. He has held that title for years as he can literally hold up against a DE in run and pass protection.
In addition, Vernon is already in the top 6 all time for touchdowns by a TE. The 2nd most TDs by a 49er in history (only behind Jerry Rice). He also has the most receiving yards by a TE in playoff history. Think about that. His team has only been to the post season 3 separate occasions, and he already has that honor.
The guy is in a league of his own, and Jimmy Graham only gets recognition for being the best TE in the league because a) Jimmy Graham is hella good and b) Graham is practically a WR in that offense and he sees a lot of passes.
I get you guys hate the 49ers, but your talent evaluation is pretty lacking
