This Thanksgiving while you're giving thanks at dinner don't forget to thank Al Davis and the Raider organization for selection Darrius Heyward Bey.

If you have a relative in the house who's a Raider fan go ahead and thank him too to rub it in.

actually we should b thanking the front 9 who passed up on him....

I think what we know for sure is Crabtree is an outstanding possession receiver. That in itself is very valuable. What I want to see now is YAC. I don't think we've seen him do that yet. That will come next. We have to be able to hit him in stride, and when we don't he will have to show us he is elusive.

Today, Crabtree had 4 rec for 77 yards and a TD. So far for the season, Crabtree has 22 rec for 292 yards and 1 TD!!!

Rookies receivers are not supposed to make an impact. No training camp, misses first six games of the season and look at what he is doing. All I can say is Wow!

Amazing!

couldn't have said it better this guy is the truth. i can only imagine how great he's going to be next season. he's going to be a top flight qb in the nfl next season, we better fix the damn ol so this offense can shine.

That's freak'n Funny There's a lot of people felt that way during his stupid hold out. I don't blame them on bit. The whole thing was hella stupid from his camp.

Yes, I was part of the f**k Crabs Mob during the holdout, but each game he's started since I have become more and more of a fan.

Had a practice Turkey Bowl game with a few of my friends last week and every overhead ball I caught I exclaimed "Crabtree!" Got a feeling I'm going to be saying that name in the end zone a few times come Thursday....

Just imagine what could have been if he never held out and came running right out of the gates in game 1.

Guy is going to be lights out next year. Scotty needs to get to work on that extensiion for Davis. Need to keep this core together.
