Bolden, Carter, and Irvin are all very good comparisons. At the very least He will be a better Hines Ward.

Dude look two threads above you. I think he is more than a possesion receiver. How many possesion receivers do that?

the next Jerry Rice. people talk about his speed but he wasnt getting caught from behind very often in college. he has awesome hands, runs excellent routes and is always open. wait till he has a full offseason with the team. Crabs is gonna be a phenom

first post so go gently....long time australian fan since the days of joe
i reckon crabs is gonna be irvin'esque (hopefully not in his private life). liked the highlights, he's quicker than i first thought, fights for yards rather than step out and also looks like he knows how to avoid a hit. noticed on a bunch of throws alex led him pretty well too - with practice thats gonna be even better

U hit the nail on the head!!!
Please no!
Yes MI is a hof but I'll always remember him pushing off DB's and whining when calls didn't go his way,plus he was a coke head lol.
Once Alex Smith(or other QB)get their timing down with Crabs he will no doubt be an excellent WR for years to come

He is a posession reciever. He will not burn you deep down field but may break a short catch for a long gain and possibly a TD, but will most definitely fight for them extra yards to get the first down. This is what I saw out of him last year.

That video is pretty sweet, if only the whole season mirrored that vid.
1. In that vid at least, i only saw like maybe 3-4 throws that were bad from Alex.
2. Crabs is a beast on slant patterns.
3. The bubble screen hardly ever worked, and it seemed like the D always knew it was coming.
