Crabtree may be coming back this year, but don't expect him to be near the player he was before he went down. It'll be a freakin' miracle if he is. He probably won't be 100% until next season. Not everyone is Adrian Petersen. Same goes for Manningham. All these guys proclaiming the second coming when they both return are deluded. I hope they prove me wrong, but to expect the same players they were pre-injury, is stretching it a bit.

You guys dont get it. It doesnt matter if crabs and rio arent 100% healthy. Just their presence alone on the field will open up the field for boldin, davis, and less men in the box against gore.

maybe for like one quarter of one game but when coaches see they can be single covered it wont matter much.

Then they wouldnt be activated lol

sure they would because we dont have anyone else. KW, Baldwin, Moore cant beat man press coverage and they are active.

If crabs and rio cant beat man coverage then they wouldnt be out there, plus further risk of injury

Baldwin can and has beaten the coverage many times he just needs the QB to throw his way. He is option 3 or four and Kaep is only looking 1 or 2 .

Agreed. Baldwin hasn't even really been looked at. I've seen him get separation.

If we get all our offensive weapons (Crabs, MM, Patton) back at close to 100%, will our coaches use 4-WR sets more?
It would be great to see Crabs, MM, Boldin, and Patton out there at the same time. Who can the opposing D focus on?

Would that mean that Davis stays into block? So how, some way, I want to see Davis on a route almost every pass play. Crabs, Boldin, Davis is pretty formidable, sub the rest (McDonald, MM, Patton) in my opinion.

Good point about Davis, since he is like a big WR any way. How about going on pass plays with Crabs, Boldin, Davis, MM (I don't want to leave our #2 receiver from last year off the field), while Gore stays in to block, which he is very good at.

Its very possible this receiving corp could suddenly become the talk of the town headed into the playoffs.

Was supposed to be that way to begin with.

I too am excited to welcome back Crabs and Manningham to the WR corps but does anyone think that they will really have that much to contribute being they are coming back from serious injuries and still have to get in game shape. I am excited but not overly excited.
