That's why Crabtree and VD were getting doubled and shadowed all game

VD had two td. Crabtree had one catch.....and was virtually shut down by single coverage by the giants third CB.......

I went back to watched some of the highlights of the the last 3-4 games of the season. Crabtree made some good catches and plays during those games. But he pretty much disappeared in the playoffs. Very disappointing. He doesn't seems to do much when the team play against a good defense.

Hmmm the Wr struggling against a good D is a reflection of how the Qb is doing against that same D

Not necessarily. VD doesn't seem to have that problem.

But every other receiver does? Not every receiving target on the team is going to be 6'3" 4.38 fast to get them wide open all the time. Better defenses equals tighter coverage or quicker closing. It is a reflection of WR AND QB.

6'3'' isn't that big of a receiving target for a TE though. Plenty of TE's are between 6'4''-6'6''

And how often have you seen Alex throw to Vernon on throws where there's an over the top defender? Most of the throws to Vernon were mainly behind the coverage (safer) throws. Rarely does Alex make a throw into surrounding defenders. He has ONLY consistently made throws to receivers where the defenders are only on one side of the throw: Deep corners, backfield crossing routes with a defender chasing, and out routes.

Once defenses started to put a man over the top on the Seam route, he's thrown it FAR less if hardly at all rather than zip it in.
Swain? Who cares? PS fodder.

What every other receivers are you talking about... Williams, Swain, Hastings... those were the other receivers at the end of year. The other receivers didn't get it done including Crabtree. That's why they are after wide receivers this offseason.

The second part of your quote belongs in the Alex Smith thread. But that's how you make good decision as a qb. You don't force it unless it's desperation time. Seam route...? Like the game winner to Walker in Detroit.

Throughout the entire season...throughout his entire career.
Yeah if you watch that throw to Swain, the actual play and not just the replay, it's obvious that Swain doesnt know what play it is and he slows down and looks for the ball because of it. If he kept running full speed he'd be able to get it.

I feel like the defender got away with a 50/50 PI
ps fodder.

journalism media are jokes lol
This is the one that had my stomach in knots. I didn't think we'd be able to retain Swain. This is a real coup!

Yea...VD and alex had 4 TD's in the playoffs. Alex and VD balled in the playoffs, anyone denying that is just hating for the sake of hating. Defending crabtrees shortcoming by blaming them on Alex is just a joke. Crabtree has got to be the most over rated WR on the webzone ever. Hes a joke to everyone in the league besides blind niner fans. Sure he had a good set of games against the NFC west at the end of the season....But he was non existant all season long when he was needed the most, especially in the playoffs.

That's the problem with Crabtree. His "good" games only come against bad teams. He's nowhere to be found when plays have to be made.

If he can't get anything done playing opposite of Moss, god help us
Swain can catch waves, can he catch the football?
