LOL. Crabtree thinks he's a younger version of Moss? Hmmmm, Moss is notorious for beating double teams, is 6'4", has epic speed and timing of his jumps and can stretch the field. Defenses game plan to stop him. Crabtree is a good down-field blocker and Moss isn't. In fact, are there ANY similarities?
Funny kid though!

I sure was! Great question...
Glad he's working with his mentor but dayem, not even CLOSE! Glad he at least recognizes he needs to learn how to beat double teams (referenced the Giants game). Although it seemed like he was single covered almost the entire game. Delusional again here?

he is the best WR on this team but the bad offense is partly his fault
i like crabs a lot and just like in mmy previous post i think he will have a breakout year im talking 1100+ yards next year and i truly believe that
in the past years he has been aour #1 WR but because he misses TC preseason and OTA every years so far and because we have to learn a new playbook every year he falls completely behind the curve and is basically learning the offense as we play in the season
thats whats hurting the offense
just to throw some stats out there:
in the last 7 games last season he had some 520 yards over 16 game season that just under 1200 yards... compared to first 8 games where he only got 300ish
he ended last year strong as he got used to teh offense this year same playbook and hopefully some practice before season starts he willl explode
i dont think he will ever be that pure #1 WR he isnt that talented physically but he will put up good to great stas
11/20vsARI 7 120 One on one against a rookie in Peterson.
11/24@ BAL 6 54
12/4vsSTL 4 96 Garbage secondary that he smoked-he should be able to beat street free agents.
12/11@ ARI 7 63 One on one against a rookie in Peterson.
12/19vsPIT 4 35
12/24@ SEA 5 85 Good game but again against a mediocre CB.
1/1@ STL 8 86 Garbage secondary that he smoked-he should be able to beat street free agents.
His best games during the entire year were against NFCW teams and none were great at the CB position. Beating up on the inferior competition doesn't prove anything.

he's a good posession receiver and a good blocker, and he doesn't seem to be the diva that people thought he might be. If it's any consolation, McCloughan was going to take Michael Oher if Crabtree wasn't available. Oher had a great rookie season, but I believe he has dropped off quite a bit since then.

In hindsight we ended at a more advantageous position in taking Crabtree. If we had taken Oher, we wouldn't have drafted Davis. Although I haven't seen too much of Oher, I think Davis is comparable.

"He was my favorite player since I started playing football," Crabtree responded on 49ers.com. "I would hate to say this, but he's like an older version of me. He's a good guy to be around. All receivers like to have fun, we don't do anything but run all day."

Minus the TDs, receptions and production.........I agree 100 percent.
Anyone have the video of the moster head shot Crabtree clearly took last year?

One similarity they might have is taking plays off, only Crabtree does his mentor one better by taking entire training camps and preseasons off. LOL! And, any receiver who chooses Moss as his role model, instead of Jerry Rice has clearly suffered head trauma.

Agreed.
But at least now he can at least play with Moss, whereas he never could with Rice.

hate to make all of us feel old, but Rice was before Crabtree's time. When Moss was a rookie Crabtree was 10 and Jerry was in his twilight years with the Niners. That's like having your only memories of Michael Jordan be of him on the wizards.
The WR's he had to look up to were guys Moss, TO, Keyshawn Johnson, Chad Johnson/Ochoccinco........... not that i'm making excuses.
but the Moss is an older version of me statement........... SMH.

Actually that's an excellent point, I as an old fart, hadn't considered. Still, as a 9'er he couldn't possibly NOT been aware of Rice's legacy and word is, he had a chance to be mentored or at least counselled by Rice and never took him up on it, as Jenkins appears ready to do.

wouldn't be surprised if that word was true. the most disappointing thing for me with crabtree is his effort. seems like that's changes with the right coaching staff though.... . here's to hoping.
thinking about that moss self comparision, i think he meant in personality. which i do agree on... not in a good way.

I think the main comparison he's making between him and Moss is their football saaviness and perhaps laid back attitude? Who knows what their TRUE personalities are like, but perhaps they're similar in a lot of ways us outsiders just don't/can't know about. But I've read that Moss is a really intelligent football player - I'm sure many have read/heard about this, and I've read the same about Crabtree - I believe the phrase "football savant" is what I've seen used to describe the both of them.
