Yeah, we're making a stand!
Here's a novel idea for McCloughan and company. How about making this a quality franchise so players won't be able to hold us up in the future like Crabtree is attempting to do now. Let's make this an exciting destination for players to go to. Crabtree has every right to do what he is doing. Is it any wonder that the two longest hold-outs belonged to the Bengals and us? It's the company we keep that puts us in the situation we are currently in. Crabtree should have been in four weeks ago catching passes in a Mike Shanahan offense.
Yeah because if Andre Smith was drafted by the Pats he wouldve magically been the first rookie to sign. 
this has nothing to do with the franchis and has everything to do with the players and the lack of a rookie cap. It doesnt matter who the coach is here he wouldnt be in camp and signed. Shanahan aint coming here and is a better OC then HC so get off his...
Go ahead and try to convince yourself that both who and what we are has nothing to do with this . I'm telling you that he wouldn't be doing the Patriots like this. That is a desirable place to go. Future riches could be had from a stay as a Patriot. What do we have to offer right now other than a slotted contract? I know, the chance to motivated by Sing! .
Listen, ugly dudes do not get the hot chick without having lots of cash. They have to pay a premium that others would not necessarily have to. Crabtree is like the hot chick. Does the diva reference ring a bell? He is making us pay a premium to be seen with us. It is what it is. The only way to combat this in the future is step our game up. If we become desirable to get with, then price isn't going to be so damn high the next time. We will be the ones playing, instead of the ones getting played.
Pay the dude and end the drama. It's our own damn fault for letting our standards drop so low in the first place.
'Standards?
We have been trying to improve our standards, feebly at times, since Donahue left his mess. We finally get Jed York whose sole mission is to elevate those standards which now permeates through the organization including our beloved Coach Singletary.
You have tried to confuse and wow us with some righteous BS and now with all your straws pulled, you reach for another dramatic limb from which to hang that wonderful, neurotic head of yours. Man, it must be real nice living in the world of Singfan's mind. I mean seriously, we would have the best of everything, Shanny, Brady, Andre Johnson, Peterson, Belicheck as DC and Holmey as OC, and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and the Krafts would own the team.
Like another poster said, snap out of it! This real reach of yours by wallowing in the position that "Crabtree should get paid, no matter what" only magnifies how ludicrous you can be. Each statement, each rebuttal, each outlandish idea is met with "Oh no, not again". It is not just me man, you are getting it from everywhere.
Everyone here including those that question Coach Singletary, Raye, McC, and York, don't even come close to your elevated status. What Crabtree has done is to try to buck the "system". He failed after everyone else signed. His actions speak louder than his words. He deserves the scrutiny and wrath of the NFL, players, agents and of course the fans.
Congrats Singfan, you are the reason we all
at times at NinerTalk.
