Vicious Kam Chancellor hit still haunts Vernon Davis

[TalontedNoseRider]

"It was crazy," Davis told the kids, who found the NFL player's recollection highly amusing. "He hit me so hard, I just got up, I didn't know where I was going ... kind of lost my memory a little bit. I just didn't know what happened.

'Wow I just got hit by a very big man.'"

A concussion will do that.

There were two of those hits, and they ruined Davis for like three seasons. I was starting to feel bad for him, lmao. He was the next big thing at te, then he wasn't. But, he is kind of bouncing back with the skins. Btw, the feeling sorry for him part was a joke.

I still say it was a clean hit,don't know why a flag was thrown.

Flag thrown I didn't like, but a mistake I could understand. If I remember correctly, Kam was also fined which was unnaceptable.

No he was not fined.

As I recall the league said it was a clean hit and no flag should have been thrown so they didnt fine him.

 

[JustTheTip]

Wonder which hit I was thinking of. But you are both correct, no fine on that hit.

Lol, look closely at the water coming off VD's helmet. Kam hit him so hard it left a water silhouette where his head was.

Who's going to post the video or gif of the hit. I'm not that good.

A flag was thrown because even the refs couldn't believe that what they just saw was actual.

50 years from now when folks are putting together a Seahawks franchise highlight reel, that play will be there.

Next to the Beastquake run, this play was a launching pad that put the entire league on notice. Incredible hit.

And the greatest part of it, karma was on our side. That same drive after SF got those free 15 yards, Red Bryant blocked their field goal and Sherman returned it to the house. Incredible moment

The hit was clean.

IMO it was a great, great hit and a perfectly legal one, but the argument that it did in Davis' career has always been an incredibly silly one.

The season after that hit he put up the highest TD total of his career (13), the third highest yardage total of his career (850), and the lowest drop rate of his career. So much for the hit that ended his effectiveness theory.

After that next year he dramatically declined due to what many believed was a disinterest in football.

A flag was thrown for murdering an opposing player; legal tackle form, or not.

That hit in 2012 told the who league the Seahawks were the bullies and a price would be paid every time you played them.

 

[Popeyejones]

Weird comment coming from a 9ers fan, but even when that happened my first thought was "you finally got what you've deserved, Vern."

That guy spent his whole career giving up YAC by unnecessarily jumping and slowing his forward momentum, and that he was going going to get his clock cleaned eventually for doing it was inevitable.

I mean, dude, you're leaving your feet so that you can be high enough to catch a pass down below your waist. Go ahead and take what you deserve for that, man.

That's not water, it's Davis being knocked out of the current space time continuum.

The hit, as pictured, happened right in front of my seats and the penalty flag was reactive by the referees as the hit was a genuine slobberknocker. It was when viewed in slo-mo a clean hard hit and the TV announcers even thought it was clean, something we rarely get from Fox crews ( watched the game again afterwards at home. The flag should have been picked up as the team was later told by the league the referees made a mistake on the call and the hit was hard but completely legal. The apparent suspected issue was helmet to helmet contact. 49er WRs and TEs had alligator arms in the backfield after that when Kam was around.

That hit stole Davis' soul, and he was invisible against Seattle after that. He's never lived up to his potential as #1 TE, he is very physically talented however..
