Crabtree...

what a joke!
How much would he lose? 6 mio for the year and a lot more for not playing a year…
No way he sits out.

Crabtree's " Advisor"

a.k.a his cousin. Said he would sit out the year. His agent said that is not the case. I think it is funny. That Crabtree was labeled a high maintenance or a diva. So he drops in the draft. Now, he does this. T.O the second coming?

This will be worse than Owens. TO, to my knowledge, didn’t have this much media surrounding him prior to the draft, during the draft, and now after the draft, compared to Crabtree. That much attention, being a rookie…I dont know, but it spells disaster to me. If he thought his crap didn’t stink before, how’s it smell to him now that he’s got a billion dollar NFL franchise begging for him to play. Thank god for Calvin Johnson.

Crabtree

Is probably just scared, coming out of nowhere (Texas Tech) and trying to play with the big boys in the NFL. He is probably worried that he will suck, and so he wants a big contract with a large amount of guaranteed money just in case he can’t cut it at the next level. I don’t blame him for being scared….I never thought he was that good and I really got a laugh when they tried to compare him to Calvin Johnson.

crabtree

let me get this straight…..first houshmanzadeh’s pissed about his madden rating, and now this??? utter and complete bitchassness!!!

how quickly he forgets that he was taken 10th overall without going to the combine and coming off of foot surgery. anyone else in his position probably wouldn’t have even been touched in the first round. hey crabtree, i have an idea!! how about getting on the field, outplaying heyward-bey, and EARNING the 20mill!!!

Personally...

I am loving the Crabtree drama. Since the draft. All I heard from the 49er fans. And their sports talk radio. Was how they got the steal of the draft. Crabtree was going to make them a playoff contender.

Same here...

…looks like he will just be another T.O. type if and when he enters. Another drama queen WR.

I must say...

I think we have the best receiver when it comes to talent/off the field issues ratio.

YES

CJ is the man. Let’s hope he’s a Lion for life.

Agreed

Not only is he a brilliant player on the field, he is a top notch man off it.

I would...

Argue that we have the best WR period. I think that Larry Fitzgerald is the only competition, with Andre Johnson close. Plus, this is the “magical” third year, if you subscribe to that theory.

Jansen playing some LT...

I know the article said not to read to much into it. But why not? Schwartz himself said the at this piont there are no starters. The plot could thinken if Backus gets some time at LG.

by JCruize on Aug 7, 2009 2:30 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Some of these injuries worry me

We need guys like Delmas and Pettigrew on the field, learning the system and the speed. Hopefully they come back soon.
