Come on Yahoo.
Washed up? CJ is 25
He plays like a 40 year-old man.

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've read in a while. CJ washed up and he's only 25? C'mon man...

Ya got to keep in mind our limitations. We had a Rookie #1 who missed everything in camp. Crabtree missed basically 5 weeks + training camp, OTAs and comes in and gets 48 receptions as a rookie with no camp! He is a stud. After him we have decent players but not studs. Add in a stud TE in Davis and we have two stars. If Smith can take the next step and I think he will, with improved line play we will be in the top 10. Crabtree should have 80 catches or better this season.

Come on Yahoo.
The TE in question was a rook, one who caught more passes than VD did as a rook, and they brought in Burleson (who far outperformed any of our WR's numbers wise last year) and Scheffler to help the passing game.
As for Calvin, he is a great WR, not a washed up WR. He also had a rookie QB for a good number of the teams games and a beat up/washed up Dante Culpepper throwing passes to him. He is a great talent who will only get better as the talent around him improves.

Is the ranking strictly WR's or does it include TE's?

It includes TE because they mentioned Vernon Davis, Tony Gonzalez, Dallas Clark, etc.

yahoo sports is a joke. there is nooo way that san diego should be that high. they have jackson gates. thats it. and gates is gettin a little old. dallas, imo, should be way higher. they have austin, a probowl wide receiver. they have williams, a former probowl receiver who can still play a little bit. they have dez bryant, a first round pick with huge potential. they have patrick crayton whos a solid possession receiver. and they have witten and felix jones.

Crabtree will go off this year, make the probowl and we will be top 5 according to this list. they list the top receiver on each team and rank em like that, total bulls**t. Crabtree, Morgan, Hill, Ginn and Jones with VD will all be better this year if our shiny new linemen fix our protection problems. the niners will light it up through the air this year

Is that a joke? Calvin is a baller...he is a top 5 WR that has gotten good production in Detroit! But thats all they have, so we should be ahead of them

It's certainly not good. I wouldn't rate us real high. Other than Crabtree who do we have at WR? And even he is overrated on this board IMO. He's no Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald.
Wow... you're judging Crabtree way too early. Fitz is the best in the league and CJ is up there, but Crabtree has a shot be special.

This list is joke. They have no clue how to evaluate WR talent. The niners probably rank around 20. Remember they have Crabs, V Davis and Ginn.... These guys were all in the top 20 for dropped passes. All young so maybe they are predicting these things get cleared up before next season.
