if he doesnt get real about the money he is gong to get...

0 catches
0 yards
0 tds
0 games played

If he is this much of an a-hole, then i hope these are his career stats as well!

I hope you're right, but rookies WR's don't adjust well. That being said, Crabs missing OTA's, is he misses any of TC, his rookie season will be in trouble. He'll be behind even more, not to mention holdouts are more likely to get injured early in the season.

Unfortunately, this may be closer to the truth than the OP's rosy projection. If Crabtree holds out, he's gonna be way behind the curve on a team that already has good depth at WR and the most demanding position coach in the NFL. Holdout = very little playing time for Crabtree in 2009.

After a long hold out, he starts the season on the bench and gets only nominal playing time:

12 catches
89 yards
1 TD

Think about your numbers. If Crabtree catches 49 balls for 927 yards, he will pick up 18.92 yard/catch.

Last year, here were the stats for yards per catch for the NFL's best.

Steve Smith- 18.2
Calvin Johnson- 17.1
Greg Jennings- 16.2
Roddy White- 15.7
TO- 15.2
Antonio Bryant- 15.0
Larry Fitzgerald- 14.9
Randy Moss- 14.6
Andre Johnson- 13.7

It is completely unrealistic for Crabtree, as a rookie, and in our offensive system, to gain 18.92 yards a catch.

Look for Crabtree to have 30 catches for 440 yards (a bit less than 15.0 yards/catch), and 3 TD's.
