Call washington. Tell them we want their first round pick for the next 5 years. Snyder may go for it.

Hey, I just wanted to add my two cents to this ridiculously long thread...



There you go... now that that's over with.

Seriously mod's, 140 something pages and counting, how is this better than multiple threads? You know no one is going to read every post (2k and counting)... this just blows me away is all, LOL.

what would you recommend we do?

It's been mention many times over by different posters. It reall doesn't matter what we suggest. It's going to get modded the way it's going to get modded anyway.


I'll waste my keystrokes yet again.


Just because 2, 3 or 4 threads may be talking about a certain player means the discussion is the same. But mods see multiple threads on a certain player and merge them. Thus the intent of a certain thread gets lost in another thread discussing something totally different.

Mods should atleast wait and see if the multiple thread(s) takes on the same discussion as the "official" thread before merging. If the content is relatively the same then merge.

There are 30 threads on each page. Is it really going to hurt if the bottom 10ish gets bumped to the 2nd page?



But back to your post as to what to do in this particular situation.

I don't know how many posts in here have been merged. But I bet if other threads that had different intent didn't get locked, this thread wouldn't be as long and posters would be able to pick out what they wanted to read. Instead of having to skip a thread entirely because of the length.

Im sure the cowboys/jags/ or bills after the season, they need a WR and i doubt TO will stay there once his deal is done.

What ever happened to the WR the bills drafted in the first round last season? i think he played ball at Indiana? I'm gonna guess and say his name is James Hardy?

From all speculation we have heard it does not sound like we are negotiating at all.

And we don't have to. SF offered Crabtree what he's worth. He was the No. 10 pick in the draft. He was offerd more than the 11th and less than the ninth. Crabtree has ZERO leverage. If I were SF, I'd laugh at him and his agent if they tried to negotiate from their position. Most logical people would.

I think they moved him to 4th string.

had 9 grabs for 87 yards 2td last year on the PUP list ACL for at least 6 weeks this year

Crabtree is so far in the back of my mind, i sometimes have to remind myself that we drafted this guy -- especially with the opener right around the corner.

I disagree with going one dollar outside the slotting system. I don't care what he thinks he's worth. I don't care if he becomes elite. We have had T.O and he WAS elite and he still wasn't worth the trouble.

Unless Crabtree fires Eugene Parker (who is a parasite) and comes to terms in the next week, I hope he sits out the season. Heck, I don't even want to trade him. I want him to rot on the vine and watch his draft stock plummet next year. This kind of stupidity should be punished. Over 15% of California workers are unemployed, 300,000 state workers are on furlough, and Crabtree cant see his way clear to play for 20 million dollars (or around that amount) despite the fact that he hasn't played a down in the NFL. As far as we know, he may be the next JJ Stokes with the attitude of TO.

The guy is an imbecile. We don't need that attitude on this team.

Word, one guy makes not a team, we know that, Philly knows that, Dallas knows that, and so will Buffalo.

Basically, this is Crabtree's argument. He is better than Heyward-Bey. Everyone agreed in April. The Raiders passed for the simple reason that they are the dumbest franchise in the league, as we keep remembering every few months. San Francisco was blessed to get a top-five talent at No. 10. It should pay for this blessing. So far, it has not done so. Crabtree is being called crazy, but really, he just believes in his own talent. He really WOULD throw away this season to prove a point. That's not crazy, that's conviction! Michael Crabtree might be ruining his career and setting hundreds of thousands of dollars on fire, but at least he earned my Miller Lite Great Call of the Week.

what an awful argument. just because crabtree believes he's great doesn't make it so. Conviction doesn't equal reason.

lots of teams had questions about him coming out of college: he played in a spread offense, he never had blazing speed, some accused him of being a "diva", he had a slight injury. Crabtree's skills don't exist in a vacuum.

I like turtles.

i agree 100%. if he signs before kick off this sunday then i will say "ok its a bussniess move". if he does not sign let him sit it out..

Maybe the 49ers want him, but not just that bad. Prospect normally come to interviews and try to put their best foot forward. But what if he came in after being drafted with his entourage and the niners got a bad vibe from him or the group. There was previous warning about his posse from other teams or coaches. There has also been little rumblings from reporters who weren't that impress with him. Then came OTA's where he was described as uninterested. Now when it came time to get the contract done, they hear that he wants to be paid an additional 8 million. All of this could be the reason the niners are in no hurry to get a deal done.

Awesome, only 47 more pages to go!
