Not so sure this is fair due to his injury but I don't see him back next year. I mean he's not a difference maker for us on the field. Not a single TD all year? I need more from his position. We have no threats on the outside. Crabs is mediocre at best.

That portion of your post is ridiculous. Crabtree may not be a stud WR, but he's far better than mediocre.

Braylon can catch, but can't run. Ginn can run, but can't catch. If only we could merge the two.

Justin Blackmon? Lol

How so? Josh Morgan has a better YPC avg and more TD's than Crabs. Our no.1st round pick. Vernon is the leading receiver on the team this year and the last 4

He shouldn't be even playing I dont think his knee healthy and I also dont think he is mentally right. I think the dude has off the field drama.

Teams that go deep into the playoffs are often not the most talented but the most healthy. In this case, if Morgan and Edwards had both remained healthy I can't help but think this offense would be very potent.

Edwards has been a force in the past, especially on short-to-medium routes where he could use his body to shield the defender away from the ball. That is something they miss now in addition to his height on balls like the one pick.

He's been real disappointed to me. Seems to be playing nonchalantly for the weeks that he's been back. Can't help but thinking he has a little bit of the Randy Moss attitude.

As I said in other posts, we do not need to resign him in the offseason! We need to draft a tall and fast WR in this years draft!

I'm with you on this. he is mediocre at best. 3rd year in the league and there have only been hints of the talent and production he showed in college.

now, you look at someone like Dez Bryant or even AJ Green and you can immediately see the talent they showed in college. I think crabtree is serviceable BUT DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE SLOT HE WAS DRAFTED AT.

the whole "look at the stats" tells you everything you need to know: 1 TD from our wide receivers-AND IT WAS FROM A NON STARTER!

And I hate that Dez Bryant always gets compared to Crabs especially since he's a Cowgirl. But the numbers don't lie

there are certain stats that can be twisted. qb stats cam be twisted to favor each side of an argument. but with receiver, you either make the catch or you don't. IMHO the frosting on the cake is a high YAC and how well you block down field. crabs can block. I know he can catch, but he's inconsistent. what is it, 4-5 dropped TD passes for him? unacceptable.

Alex looked frustrated with Braylon at 3:53 on http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-films-sound-efx/09000d5d8247c506/Sound-FX-49ers-miscues

It's funny that Braylon tried to come up with an excuse...

it can be looked at in both ways.
