POLL : Is Michael Crabtree a bust?

he has been relatively consistent around 70 yards or so per game.

I'll take it like that.. My friend is a cowboys fan and he says stuff like "crabtree's season stats look like a stat line for Miles Austin for a game" and stuff like that. But I'm perfectly fine with how we are using him. 65-90 yards per game.. about 6-9 catches.. I will be thrilled.

Think 70 yards per game.. 16 games.. off the top of my head I think thats like 1,100+ (could be wrong) but either way, its a solid year if he keeps it up

I started him in Fantasy football this week,my entire team is 49ers players, Cam Newton sits on my bench behind Alex, even have Akers and the 49ers D, don't give a s**t lol

good call on sitting newton

Crabtree had a game that I have been waiting for--last week! Several first downs when needed getting YAC. Knowing where the first down marker was and getting there is not something the SF receivers have been adept at in the past, so this is real progress. Not easy to bring down by one guy either.

I agree that Manningham and Moss really help Crabtree get open and there is no way to guard these guys one on one. Wish he were a bit faster but...can't have everything.

no but still not nearly as good as i thought he'd be

Agreed. I'm waiting for that explosion game out of him as well. Similar to the breakout game that Vernon Davis had against the Vikings in 2009.

More of a late bloomer, I'd say. Funny how playing in a good system with continuity, good coaching, and good people around you elevates your game...
